I don't find any page that looks like your example. Maybe things have changed.

Yes you're completely correct Rav but what most of us are trying to figure out here is basically: what's the point of hiding all activities from OUR OWN profiles/walls? I for one don't care if I can see what I've done, I know what I've done! I just don't want my recent activity popping up in other people's News Feed. It's of no benefit to me if it's simply off my profile, but still there for the world to see in the News Feed.

Even if you could delete them individually after they've been posted (which you can't as there is NO funcitioning option for this), this would still not be not good enough. I want there to be a way in which you adjust the settings on a one-off occassion so that it automatically DOES NOT get posted onto friend's News Feeds – sparing us the trouble of having to go back and individually remove the activity not to mention endure those embarrassing minutes in which your activity remains on the news feed. Someone please help!

Exactly! Why is it that whenever I 'like' someone's photo, EVERY friend on my list can see in their News Feed that I've liked that photo. I am yet to find a wat to stop people from seeing photos I like, links I like and comments I make on people's photos. Since Recent Activity disappeared there is no longer a way to control who sees activities such as photos I've liked.

they are trying to change people's norms of what is private.
I'm not going to delete my page, but I will stop "liking" and posting, use messages instead of posting on people's wall etc… sgh

The problem with the 'just delete your Facebook account' idea, is that I have a few friends (close and potential) actually here in Australia.. plus some some overseas.. who I otherwise would have real difficulty connecting with. For example, one of my buddies only uses Facebook now and it is through him I get invited to parties… friends from athletics who otherwise don't bother with me, I am now working my way into their circle… maybe it's different for me, as I'm quite deaf, so I really need Facebook for socialising… I use a pseudonym, so no worries about employers, but if anything better comes along and my friends use it, I'm outta here!

I hope it doesn't come up on my friends newsfeeds that I commented on and joined this site!!!

And I can spell 'worried'… I made a typo the first time and didn't notice it. I am actually already logged into facebook, so I hope no one can see this.

So she let you view her account? This problem concerns me too… but there is no way of knowing what your friends can see (for sure) without viewing through their account.

I am also trying to stop certain people seeing my stuff IN THEIR OWN NEWSFEEDS. I can control what I see in my own, fine, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it in reverse. If there is no way to stop things appearing in your friends newfeeds then I wish Facebook would just say so, so I can stop fruitlessly trying!
