Oyster Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hum, I attempted to read this thread while logged off and the same situation occurred. I logged in and can read and can post on this thread. No problem here as I do not follow facebook. So please ignore my computer related issues with what is now appearing to be related to all "facebook" related topics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Hagan Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I wonder if it's really a privacy settings. I suspect Facebook is requesting a cookie from your browser. I recently did an article on email privacy rules regarding "nonpublic personal information" for fellow tax preparers, who are considered "financial institutions" by the Feds (so they have to adhere to the same rules as banks). Many don't follow the FTC guidelines for privacy of personal information, and do things like password protect a PDF file containing the client's social security number, birthdates, etc. and email it. In researching it, I found quite a bit of information I didn't know before: basically, privacy is very hard to obtain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am just a simple guy, barely capable of remembering the date and day sometimes. So I try to keep things simple and do not spend unlimited amounts of time on the computer or mega amounts of website past about three mainstream boat sites on a regular basis and the basic mainstream e-mail programs. I certainly don't find the need to let anyone know about how many pieces of toilet paper I used on a given time of day on some website like what I hear a lot of people talking about these days when it comes to that site. But just thought I would point this issue out for anyone else seeing the same thing. But anyway, moving along back to dealing with rotting wood products for anyone wondering what I am doing today............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
