Charles,
CS> ML>>what ads?? NEVER /ever/ *ever* click on ads, period! */ever/*...

CS>my ads for female products :\
Before my wife died, I got several ads for feminine hygiene products
in the mail. I asked her "What am I going to do with them??"...and she
growled "Don't even go there".

The developer is constantly updating it, as Facebook keeps trying to
circumvent what it does.
For one thing, Facebook ALWAYS wants you to view "Top Stories", and
will set it to that automatically. But, with Fluff Busting Purity (FBP),
you can set it to "Most Recent". Setting it to "Friends Feed" can make
it appear there are no posts (you've read everything already), and it
says "you can find and add new friends". I was using "Friends Feed" for
a time, but switched to "Most Recent" because of that. You can also TURN
OFF the ENTIRE NEWS FEED, within FBP.
With turning off the entire news feed, you can just concentrate on the
groups you're part of in the "shortcuts section". That way, you don't
spend half the day on Facebook.
It is suggested on first use, you go in (click on FBP at the top) to
customize your settings. But, it makes for a much more enjoyable
Facebook experience.
I will admit I went in the other day, and unjoined a bunch of groups
and pages. I was spending far too much time on Facebook, and have got it
now to under 2 dozen groups and pages...mainly for where I'm an admin,
or where I post items on a regular basis.
