Facebook Question

Every single time I try to log in, from any computer, anywhere - including my same home or work computer - it always asks me to "name this computer" before it will let me log on. I tick the button that says "remember this computer" but the next time I log in it does it again. Drives me mad - anyone know how to switch this "feature" off?

Secondly, googlemail filters every single facebook message (without exception) into spam, even when I try teaching it by always clicking "not spam" - again, how do I get around this?

Cheers.

  • For the GMAIL account, I have a seperate folder just for email things, so have everything fitlered into there. Just go to settings then filters, add a filter for everything coming from @facebook.com into whatever folder you want, and it will be filtered to there.

    As far as the facebook thing, I think the "new computer" thing is read off of IP addresses, so if you have dynamic IP addresses on your home computer (they always change, and are never the same) then it automatically comes up as a new computer. You may have to change settings on the modem, or call your ISP, as I don't think you can disable the "new computer" part of facebook.

    Cheers for that.

    What a nuisance! Every time I log in I have to "name my computer", tick the box then get an email to confirm. Thankfully I only log in once or twice a week!
