Yup. I created the group. Do you want to be Admin over there?

I had a flick through and only recognised two people on that U75 group. Gave up after page 4 though -- how many pages are there?!

That was my thought too. I couldn't match most of those real names/pics with Urban names, nor do I want to, but surely someone with too much time and a grudge on their hands might be able to do something with that stuff?

I'm on Facebook, but only with "real life" stuff and my pic isn't there.

I think anybody who willingly puts their real life information on the internet, especially when the internet plays a role in their day to day life, is out of their mind, I really do.

facebook is like an elaborate friendsreunited though, people can only see your profile if you let them.

so? how do I know xxxx is really xxxx and not yyyy?

xxxx is in your friends network and wants know you, do you want to know them?

Ok!

Oh! xxxx wasn't really xxxx, and now he knows everything about me and all my friends! Whoops!

or

Dear Facebook member, due to a fuckup, we let random users see anyone's profile. Sorry about that!

No thanks.

i dunno, i find all the paranoia about real names a bit weird, i'm not going to go shouting it but i don't think it necessary leads to stalking.....maybe i'm naive.

I need to contact someone behind Facebook about accessability. Blind users can't do jack on it, due to the graphic confirmation code that comes up.

Me too....

I don't really see the problem in it. But horses for courses eh ?

I know it's 15 years out of date, but emailing and phoning does it for me.

That's shit. They've got a version for mobiles!

For the FAQs, if the answer isn't apparent, as far as I can gather [email protected] is the contact email. I'll probably drop them an email. Is that the confirmation code thingy where some websites have a version that audibly speaks the code as an alternative?

What would be nice is making it possible to upload lots of photos without having to use active x. I cant install it which makes putting photos up a pain.
