note on Facebook

[zoea]

Pleaded help there was a like message on my face book. How did this happen as my friends and family don't no. X

[all_alone1]

i have been thinking about doing that as well..and now after reading this thread again i have taken off some info as well...because not only friends or members of medhelp can see it.....every and anyone who passes along this forum can view your profile.

The moderator's comment is exactly the reason why I changed my profile information. If you hold the mouse over someone's screen name it gives some of that info. I took off my hometown. I didn't want anyone putting two and two together. FB has gotten outa hand with less and less user control over much anymore. Even if it doesn't say LIKE still be carefull of the thumbs up symbol. That too is a link to FB.

This scares my to death. I came hear to be able to not just get good information but also be able to vent and not feel judged.

Hi ~

We understand your concerns and certainly understand that you want to be especially cautious about with whom you share sensitive personal information.  The Facebook "Like" button was added to MedHelp at the request of users to allow people to integrate their experience as they choose.  Use of it is purely optional, and nothing will be shared on your Facebook page unless you click the button.  Please remember, however, that the MedHelp site is a publicly available internet site; as members get to know one another it's easy to feel like posts are private conversations among friends.  While we're always pleased to know that our members are fining support and encouragement on our site, please remember that information you post here is visible to anyone from the general public.

If you have any questions or suggestions please let us know!

I agree  this could sause a myriad of problems for people,not just a family member finding out but who knows what else.loss of job could be a real possibility here.This should be removed

[zoea]

Your right think it should be removed or put somewhere else.x

[zoea]

Have to laugh. Just shows i act before i think lol

[ImDONENoMore]

Mistakenly done or not the medhelp moderators need to REMOVE that icon.  It's too easy to make a mistake a click on something.

We're supposed to be protected here.  Not cool.  NOT cool at all.

[ricart70]

in this case that reason is   because you clicked it lol  sorry

[zoea]

Im not clicking anything. Everything happens for a reason. Have to more careful. Thanks vicki x

[ricart70]

I just checked my fb for the first time in months and did not see anything
whhheeewww!!!  lol    thanks viki  I only go on here on my lappy  and I never click like on anything...so   I guess not liking anything has finally produced a positive result.

[zoea]

Sorry i have calmed. If no one else has has anything on f b. Now reading messages by.accident i may of clicked like. I have a touch screen phone. If no one else noticed anything on f b. Then i caused concern for no reason. Sorry sorry x

I was on the general health forum a while back and I hit the "like" button without realizing it. Imagine my discomfort when I got a phonecall asking me why I posted about a vaginal infection to my fb page!!  Just stear clear of icons!!

[all_alone1]

i hate those advertisements...it is even harder to stayaway from them if you are using your phone

[vicki595]

...only if you click on the "like" icon...Just be careful of all the little icons below each post and don't go near them!

[ricart70]

Yay.......another fing thing to be freaked out about.

[gg636]

[ricart70]
