    Not sure if FB has done this in my case though they obviously use past FB activity as a prompt for suggestions. In fact, I find it quite difficult to find people I know who are on my email list as loads of my friends are not interested in FB.

    I had the same thing happen to me last night and when i clicked on the unfriended bit to see who no longer wanted to be my friend it came up with loads of adverts so i quickly moved away as i didn't want to accidently click on an advert by mistake:snork:

    Two changes ago I accidently clicked on a couple of users names on this forum as i was still trying to find my way around and clicking everything in site so now I am following a couple of members but worry now that they might think i am stalking them:oops: .

    Love reading the little snippets that members leave on other members profiles:whistle:

    I didn't realise that you can get adverts on here according to other websites you visit.I was looking at jewellery{rings}before Christmas and the next day on this site all i could see was adverts for the same rings i was looking at and the same website:wow:.Luckily the shop Mr Kandy bought my ring from hasn't bombarded me with adverts on here and sice Christmas the adverts have changed to other things so i can go back to ignoring them.:yawn:

    Your password is safe. The 'S' on websites means that it is a secured connection, usually banks or other payment systems will mainly use a secure connection.

    Farcebook etc can use a secured connection, but also some of the functionality of it is also lost by a secured connection.
