  • Mine was blocked when I went on this morning. I managed to work out the tags more by luck than anything else. Total pain in the bum!

    Cinders, if you hover over your FB profile photo it'll bring up the option to Edit Profile Picture. You can then change it.

    Same here ,tried to verify my account but don't know anyone who looks like a pink boot,or a red dress.
    Tried searching the names they suggested and couldn't match any of the pictures to the names.
    The only problem i might have is my middle name isn't really MSE

    Thanks EDC with changing my pic and taking out Mse as a middle name hopefully that will work. as long as my friends who tag me to a comp are able to find me

    I have also noticed when I checked my friends list, a lot of them are blocked on there

  • I just had to verify by them sending a code to my phone. If anything else happens, like asking for 'friends' identities then I'm stumped.
    I also have no photo ID as I can't drive or go abroad for medical reasons.

    I've only just gone on fb but haven't been blocked (yet?) although I had some message pop up about it removed or blocked when I replied congratulating a compers win.
    So let me get this right....if I do have to go through security check like everyone...I have to recognise all my fb friends? (confusing!) :o
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    My FB and Twitter both got taken down last night. Am back up and running now. :)

    The pics were a nightmare, I failed first time but cracked it the second time.

    When I logged back in again I had to verify it a 3rd time and add in a mobile number.

    Have added in more profile info now into my timeline now see if that stops it happening again. Have also deleted some of tagged comp pics because they were a nightmare to identify!

    I think I read on another thread, you get 10 goes at trying to identify the pics. I had to wait a couple of hours after I failed first time. Hope everyone manages to get back up and running :)
  • Another one here, I had the message "We've received feedback that your account may not be real" and had to go through a security check before I could log in!

    Another one here who has been blocked out my FB account. Also can't name any of the people from their pics as they're all comping photos!
