I'd agree with you, but I have no idea what you are on about Grin and I'm a Facebook addict

ChaosTrulyReigns · 05/09/2012 23:06

That's the best sort of agreeing.

Agree makes me feel stalkerish if I've Seen but not replied!!

McHappyPants2012 · 05/09/2012 23:11

picnicbasketcase · 05/09/2012 23:11

Heh?

Sl1nkyMalinki · 05/09/2012 23:11

What is this 'seen by' business? Thought the whole point of FB is that you can stalk skim friends posts without feeling obliged to lol etc?

MyDogShitsMoney · 05/09/2012 23:14

What does "seen by" mean?

I'm on FB and I've never heard of it Confused

I am so not down wiv da kidz Sad

getmeoutofthismadhouse · 05/09/2012 23:23

I dont actually think its "been seen" . Ive sent my friend PM's this week and straight away it has said "seen at bla bla" now she hasn't replied for a few hours /next day and she wouldn't have any need to not reply once its been seen so I wonder how true it is .
Its almost impossible now to hide away whilst on fb , every move you make is seen by everyone on your friends list.

Sl1nkyMalinki · 05/09/2012 23:24

Oh on PM's. Saw this the other day but as the iPhone app kept crashing it was pretty hard to tell if it was working!

confusedpixie · 05/09/2012 23:29

Totally agree, yadnbu. I don't want people to know I've seen things they've posted, especially as the only time I do look at things is when I'm being nosey! It's utterly ridiculous and getting worse everyday.

GoodHeavensNo · 05/09/2012 23:29

Eh?

I haven't got this on mine....

ChaosTrulyReigns · 05/09/2012 23:31

How the actual jeff, GoodHeavensNo?

ALittleScatterOfRain · 05/09/2012 23:32

I can't work it out...

I have it on PMs, but only for group messages unless it's on my phone, then I have it for all PMs. I see it on groups too, but I don't know if it's anywhere else.

I agree though, I'll have a nose at someone's profile if they come up in a friends post and I vaguely recognise them, but I don't want them knowing I did that!

ThePieWhoLovedMe · 05/09/2012 23:34

I have several FB accounts - but have only seen this in a group

MammaTJisWearingGold · 05/09/2012 23:36

I keep apologising for not replying to people quickly enough. I have several tabs open and one of them is always FB. People message me and they must thingk I have seen it, but I am on MN or on rare occasions doing course work.

omfgkillmenow · 05/09/2012 23:36

well i like it. cos sometimes if your busy making the tea or changing a nappy and canny type at least your pal knows you've seen it, although how they know you've seen it I don't know unless you make a keystroke or something to show you are at the computer...so that side of it is a bit mad, then you get mrs bloggs is typing, but then i goes away again, so like she has 2 windows open maybe? but i still like it cos im a cosy nunt

ChaosTrulyReigns · 05/09/2012 23:36

Oh, I didn't realise it was only groups.

Apparently you can disable it if you have Chrome.

[knowledgable]

What's that then?

OP posts:
IneedAgoldenNickname · 05/09/2012 23:37

I've seen it on group PMS, but not single ones? And not on wall posts please tell me it's not on wall posts ex might notice I've been stalking him

ChaosTrulyReigns · 05/09/2012 23:37

I think it watches your eyes.

What can Zuckerboy achieve next?

Hmm

I have Chrome but don't know how to work it.

My DSis has just got a brand new laptop and her Google has a virtual hamster you can feed and it follows your cursor around Confused

ALittleScatterOfRain · 05/09/2012 23:41

It's on single PMs too.

I've remembered how you see it on the computer for single people- go to chat and click on that person so you get the little box at the bottom of the screen. It'll tell you there under the message once they've seen it.

BegoniaBampot · 05/09/2012 23:49

I'm on FB everyday and you have totally lost me - 'seen it'?

MyDogShitsMoney · 05/09/2012 23:53

Ah, I've found it on PM's, is that it?

GoodHeavensNo · 05/09/2012 23:58

Nope I still don't have it even on PMs. I have chat permanently disabled though, meybe that's why?
