I've noticed that f/b has changed again, i always have my settings set high, so nobody only friends can see it.

But i've just checked on another account, and some of my photos are available for people to look at, any ideas as to how i can changed them, i've tried and looked but can't see anything.

thanks

    you can set the level of access on all your photo albums using the drop down menu under the respective albums 'album title', you cannot however private the 'Cover Photos' album at all, which is understandable since it is meant to be a public picture.

    thanks i know about the cover photos been on public view.

    I've just clicked on my holiday photos album, and all that is underneath is how may photos are in the album, then a little circle, thing, when i hover over it, it says, 'you can change the audience for each photo in this album'

    i thought that i would just click on the circle and be able to change it, but it seems it's not this way.

    That's weird, that's what happens on my Profile picture album but on all other Albums that circle cog (which displays not as a cog but as a padlock or the friends symbol) allows me to change the settings for the entire album.
    No idea why it it happens like that with you, at least you can change the settings on a per photo basis, which may not be so useful if there are loads of photos in the album, another option would be to delete the album and re-upload the photos.
