facebook

Ok, so i admit, I am a facebook virgin. I find the format so un user friendly. For example. Question 1:

If I am searching for a friend called , say, bill smith, why does it give options of bill smithers, bill smithsonian, bill sithy, bill smitheroony etc etc. You get the picture. How do I say to it, NO! You stupid facebook, I only want to see people called bill smith!!!!!!

Answers on a postcard please...........more questions to follow.

Thanks

From when I browse Facebook, I assume the above measure has been put in place because many who use it are incapable of spelling 'Bill Smith' correctly. I hope they also look at introducing some kind of translation tool that converts the awful nonsense people write into proper English.

Lol, ok, question 2. I sent a friend request to a cousin on the facebook app, which she accepted. However, she is not linked to me on the website? Am I supposed to send her a seperate request for the website as well?

Obvious question is obvious ... you are logged in to Facebook on the PC?

olias

Yep, logged on on both app and website. Alson sent a friend request to my brother. He accepted and i received a notification to that effect, but he, s not shown as a friend? I looked at his profile and it said add as friend, so i clicked on it, but it just sent another request to him, but he, s already accepted?

Did you set up a new account when you set up the app or did you log in with your PC Facebook details (if you set your account up first on your PC).

What I am trying to say is have you got two accounts rather than just one?

olias

You are a genius. I logged out of the app, and when i tried to log back in, i realised it had been set up a while back with another email, so was in effect another account. I have deleted it and logged back into the app with my current email and alls good. Thanks
