on facebook news feed there is an option to the left on the feed to 'hide' someone, is this permanent once u click it?!
I have gone to edit options at the bottom of the page and it shows you who you have 'hidden' but how cancel it and get everyone to be shown again!?
if that makes ANY sense at all, help appreciated!x

You can unhide. I hide loads of annoying people posting countless quizes and other annoying stuff.

You know what annoys me the most? When people change their middle name to something that isn't their middle name I.e John 'The Don' Smith.

Sorry off topic.

Have you tried changing your web browser? I find there are lots of options that work in Internet Explorer that don't work in Firefox and vica versa.

Easy way i do it is. Hide an application that is on your page showin, it will then say undo at the side in a blue link, press that and it will come up with a list of who you have hidden then un hide them, or sometime if you press the blue edit and a table will pop up with who or what you have hidden, then look for the name and at the side of the name you will see a blue X, press that then save and this should put the person back on show.

Or block the games they keep sending you links to. It soon reduces the amount of rubbish you have to read.

The best bet is to just block the applications/groups instead of friends. Just go to the application page and click 'block application' under the profile picture. That way you block the application, no matter who sends you invites, as opposed to blocking all info (which includes status updates, comments, pictures and lots of other stuff, not just apps) from one friend.

I blocked quiet a few people on here, they leave a bad smell round the place. I hate peoplee on here that go on about others lifes being a jeremy kyle show,slagging them off ect and seem to forget that people on the forum know them well. And know there life is far from normal. lol

I learnt to do this after rowing with someone in the old for sale section when i first joined lol. And have enjoyed blocking and unblocking at my own leasure since. lol
