Technology Lesson: Facebook Notification (Update)

Facebook has been making a lot of changes, and hopefully the next few lessons will shed light on these adjustments—which you have surely adapted to—and provide an update to the outdated archives.

Before Facebook enraged its users in September with privacy changes (AGAIN), it e-mailed its users regarding Facebook notifications. I preferred my old settings. If you want to reset your notifications, or modify them in any way, read on.

LOG IN TO FACEBOOK.

Click the arrow at the top of your screen (next to HOME).

Click ACCOUNT SETTINGS.

Click NOTIFICATION SETTINGS.

To undo the changes Facebook made, click the checkbox at the top of the page.

YOU'RE DONE!

If you'd like to tweak your settings while you're there—maybe you want MORE e-mail, less e-mail, or just need to tweak your notification for unrelated reasons—begin your customization.

The first rows will disable e-mails for the notifications related to your recent activity. My first note is from (previous contributor) Bryan, who liked my Facebook photo. (Thanks, Bryan!) If I click the envelope, I'll disable the notification settings I already have in place. (No e-mail, but a note when I sign in.)

Scrolling down to ALL NOTIFICATIONS will allow you to tweak settings individually. (This is probably what you want.) Click EDIT to see your preferences and make changes.

There are my preferences! We're on personal terms, now.

Click SAVE CHANGES when you're done.
