I fail.
I tried to enter my Facebook ID in my profile, but I'm clearly doing something wrong here. My Facebook name is Spooty MacFrugal (yeah, yeah... I know - but it was an old pen-name under which I used to write.)
Entering "Spooty MacFrugal" doesn't do the trick. "SpootyMacFrugal" doesn't seem to have any better results, either.
What am I doing wrong, here?
P.S. As a further insult to injury, I typed this out on my iPad last night, but managed to hit "Cancel" instead of "post" after the math quiz. <--Fail

I duno what you did but I've sent a friend request to you now. btw, this is the link to headcheese's facebook profile. I dont know if mine is working either so heres the link to my facebook.

I got to your facebook page through Chinny's link. On a side note, I overheard Fiddlerman discussing a new banner for the site. With your background in backgrounds (see what I did there) maybe you guys could collaborate on a new banner. I went to your profile information on this site and clicked on the direct link to your face book page and it brought up some young woman's page with a name nothing like Spooty! I don't know what is wrong with your link, maybe try to edit it in your profile.

On further investigation, I hovered my cursor over Chinny's facebook link and it read:
http://facebook.com//CandiceChin
Not sure why they are different. You could try surfing to your page and cut and paste the url into your facebook link on your profile page on Fiddlerman.

^ thats odd it should be just one '/' before 'candicechin'
and I have numbers too but fb introduced a once off link name thingo. otherwise mine would be a bunch of numbers too.... im not sure if you can still request for a user name fb link to replace the numbers anymore, i think you can still do it!

I'll try that. Back in just a moment.
Try again. I think I've figured it out. Either that, or I've just left my account open to hacking...
Success!
Which one, though? Useable link or Hacktastic back door?

I guess I should have been more specific. The link works, and I am not a hacker, cracker, social terrorist, script kiddi or any other type of malicious person.

I didn't fail !!!
Thanks for the links Chinny, and I can't believe you are an Aussie .. for some reason I thought you were Canadian. I think there are only 2 of us, but if I'm wrong, will someone please correct me?
Spooty, I've sent a request to you as well. I love your bio.
Ok ... update ... I failed after all. I wondered why I don't have the 'f' logo on my posts, so I went to profile and added my name under the facebook entry.
FAIL
I assume it's more complicated than that ...
If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're probably right.

I took care of it for you Robyn. I had to use your facebook profile id instead of your nick. Do you really have a reserved nickname on facebook?
No idea … at all … techno-naive to the max here. I just put my name in.
If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're probably right.
