Your Questions About Facebook

Thomas asks…

What are the signs that a facebook profile has been deactivated?

Two friends facebook profiles have been not showing up on facebook recently.I have noticed on past messages from these friends that their profile picture has also changed to a shadow.They are missing from all facebook searches and on mutual friends lists.Are their profiles “deactivated”? When a profile is deactivated does it mean its gone from facebook for good? Thanks in advance!

Michelle answers:

Well first of all, you won’t be able to go to their profiles. Secondly, no profile picture will show up in any of their posts, and thirdly, their name will appear as “Facebook User”. If the name is their normal name and not “Facebook User” then that means they have chosen to block you. If they have chosen to block you, their profile pictures will not show, their names will be black and unclickable. They will also not appear in any friend’s mutual friends list and will not appear in your searches. Unfortunately, there is no way to know which it is without doing one of these:

1) Asking someone you know was their friend on Facebook if the account is still active
OR
2) Actually asking that person.

To answer your other question, no. You can reactivate your account. But what’s the point in deactivating it in the first place, if you are just going to reactivate it?

George asks…

How does facebook know who my friends are on my yahoo messenger friends list?

In the People you may know section on facebook they are suggesting friends that I’ve never met in person who live in other states and have no mutual friends. How would facebook know that I know them?

Michelle answers:

When you signed up, you probably added your email address, and there is a check box that asks if you would like to allow facebook to add your contacts from that email address. You probably didnt uncheck it.

Not 100% sure, but i think you can remove your email contacts from your facebook ones in the settings somewhere.

Laura asks…

How does the new facebook application for blackberry work?

How does it match the contacts in your phone with your friends on facebook? Some of my friends pics showed up in my contacts but others did not. So does it match phone numbers, names, or email? What about if the person has downloaded facebook on the blackberry but does not have their phone number listed on facebook? Will it pick them up then if you do not have their entire name listed on contacts list? Thanks to anyone who can help me answer these questions!

Michelle answers:

I would seriously suggest you not installing that app on your phone. It totally screwed up my BB calender. The only good thing it did was put the pictures of the people from facebook in my contacts but everything else was a mess.

Mandy asks…

How does Facebook determine which Thumbnail to display when you attach a link to a wall post?

When sharing a link through a wall post, Facebook grabs images from the destination site. How are these images determined and can you set parameters on your site to allow Facebook to get certain images or block certain images?

Michelle answers:

It automatically takes any of the pictures they can find from the website (unless ther is no pix on the site in which case u cannot show a pic)

Linda asks…

How to login to Facebook on the computer if you registered on a mobile ?

I made my facebook on my mobile/cell phone but now I cant login to the page on the computer.

Please Help ;]

Michelle answers:

It could be that your cell phone is using a wap proxy through your service provider. You need to reconfigure your phone to use a direct internet connection. These settings are similar to when you teether your phone to your laptop and use the phone as a modem.

I’m not doing this to hack facebook, but to see if I can find out who it was who got onto mine in the first place.

Michelle answers:

No you cant track down ip address but your own the other ip address is only disclosed to Facebook and The Police

Your Questions About Firefox

Ruth asks…

What is the difference between firefox and Internet explorer?

My school has both and they are the same thing. Everytime I go to a site it says either: You must have firefox, or You must have internet explorer. Also why is firefox downloadable? Wouldn’t you already have a browser?
What are the add ons like? Internet explorer has tabbed browsing.

Michelle answers:

Microsoft’s built-in browser does not offer the same experience as open source browsers. Why should we not have a choice in which browser we use?

I personally use Firefox and think it’s a lot better.

Just check out this CNET review:

Firefox is better in every way including, installation woes, look and community, tabbed browsing, cool new features, security and performance. The winner is clearly Firefox 2.

Donald asks…

How do you transfer your bookmarks and RSS feeds from Firefox to a portable version of Firefox?

I have a portable version of Firefox on an external drive and I’d like to export my current Firefox settings form my laptop Firefox to it.

Is this possible?

Michelle answers:

Xmarks is the best Firefox extension for ongoing synchronizing Bookmarks as well as passwords and even currently open tabs across different computers.

Can’t help with RSS feeds since I use My Yahoo for that.

Lisa asks…

How do I save my Firefox bookmarks when getting a new computer?

I’m getting a new computer but don’t want to lose my Firefox bookmarks. Is there an easy way to save a record of all the URLs in my Bookmarks and then quickly upload them to Firefox on my new computer?

Michelle answers:

Bookmarks… -> Organize Bookmarks opens a new window, click on Import and Backup to create a backup of them, copy that backup to a flash drive, then on the new PC do the same thing but Import from your flash drive.

Sandra asks…

How come Firefox displays a weird character when it should show a word?

How come I get this ? when using Firefox and when I am using Internet Explorer shows what I am supposed to get, (Wed) ,as the text
If you cannot see what I put down it is a small box with the numbers 26 and 20 inside of it.
Is there a fix for my problem?
Thanks in advance.

Michelle answers:

Some symbols may not show because your computer does not contain the font set and/or your browser is not set to the correct Character Encoding. Changing browser’s encoding is usually done from its View Menu.

If you see squares or question marks instead of the symbol you need to make sure you have the language pack installed necessary to show the symbols.

Installing Windows XP Language Packs:

(depending on the version of XP you have, you may need to insert your Windows XP Setup CD) then go to Control Panel >> Add/Remove Programs >> Windows Components scroll down in the list and put a checkmark next to “language packs”. If you cant find that, then go here instead Control Panel >> Regional and Language Options >> Languages then made sure both boxes under Supplemental Language Support are checked. Click NEXT and then let it do its thing. You will probably then have to reboot.

how do i enter a video application

Michelle answers:

Go to foodnetwork.com and your supposed to enter a video application

Paul asks…

how do i get rid of the food network logo in front of my home page address?

i went on the food network for a recipe and now the logo is front of web page addresses. i tried restarting my machine and deleting my addresses and it’s still there.

Michelle answers:

Did you try deleting your cookies and cleaning the cache? The best way to do it is to use Ccleaner freeware http://ccleaner.com

Helen asks…

What is your favorite food network chef?

Mine is Mario Batali because he is the only chef on the food network who really knows how to cook, imo.

Michelle answers:

Bobby flay 🙂

David asks…

DO YOU watch the FOOD network?

if so. why do you like it? and who is your favorite? what would you like to see more of??? i wish they had more of ina garten because he recipes are great!!

i love the food network and love learning new recipes and my favorite is also paula deen and giada.

Michelle answers:

I watch the food network religiously. Why? Because i love food and i love cooking! My 3 favorite show in this order are:

1.) iron chef america – exciting head to head fast paced cooking
2.) 30 minute meals – these are some of the only recipes that i actually try making because they dont take the whole day to whip up
3.) everyday italian – giada is a great cook, and i come from a big italian family so i can relate

i also enjoy watching easy entertaining with michael chiarello, barefoot contessa, and ham on the street but not as much as my top three (paula’s home cooking is good too. I think its hillarious how she never waits untill she sits down to eat her creations. She always just digs in!).

Your Questions About Forever 21

Nancy asks…

Where is the best Forever 21 to visit in Orlando, Florida?

I’m planning on visiting Orlando in early march, and was wondering which is the best Forever 21 to visit and why? Also we won’t have a car, since we’re flying in. But we’re staying on international drive so i know we could take a bus or trolley to the prime outlets. But my parents said it’s possible that we would take a taxi to one of the malls.

Michelle answers:

The one at Prime outlets on International Drive is huge! They had so much room for everything there plus the outlets are great – Betsey Johnson had dresses down from $400 to $75!
Otherwise, the one at Florida Mall sucks but the Florida Mall is a pretty decent mall.
Hope this helps

Jenny asks…

Is Forever 21 an expensive store? Who are considered to be their competitors?

I saw forever 21 at the mall today for the first time. Was wondering if they are expensive and in what category they are in. Are they like an abercrombie. Who would they be in competition with?

Michelle answers:

No, it is very inexpensive actually. The irony in it is that their stuff is super cute and looks like stuff you could find at the designer shops like urban outfitters, cache, express, etc. I’ve gotten shirts on sale for as low as 5 dollars. At most, their shirts will be 25-30 dollars. The other thing is their accessories, they are super cute & look like finds from a boutique. Seriously, ive found cool necklaces for 4 dollars & their necklaces never usually exceed 8 dollars. I have found interesting pieces such as a rhinestone sparrow, an owl pendant, a giant rhinestone bow, a sunglasses pendant, and many more. All under 7 dollars. Their competetors or stores just like forever 21 are charlotte russe and wetseal- cute stuff for cheap. However, i think forever 21 carries styles that are more unique and european. Oh yeah, h&m compares as well. Hope this helps.

Mine?

Donna asks…

What is the biggest Forever 21 in chicago?

Okay so, I want to go to the biggest forever 21 in chicago Illinois. I’ve been to the one in gurnee, and it’s big, but everything is not organized, so it’s very overwhelming, and I end up not finding much of anything. I want to know the biggest forever 21, that’s well organized, and not over flowing.

Michelle answers:

The on on Michigan Avenue is huge and has 3 levels of clothing and even a small men’s section. It has more clothes than I have ever seen in one place.

Ken asks…

What Forever 21 is closest to Times Square?

I’m visiting New York City this March, and we don’t have Forever 21 where I live. It’s my favorite store, and I know there’s many in New York City. It’s a school trip so I don’t want to wander too far off looking for it, and I don’t know how the streets there work. I’m staying in Times Square, so what would be the nearest Forever 21 in the area?

Michelle answers:

34th st on 6th Ave (or Ave of the Americas) no one calls it that though
(address)50 W 34th St, New York, NY? – (212) 564-2346

thats the closest you will get cuz times sq is 42nd ish

Your Questions About Fox News

Ruth asks…

What has FOX News actually done to deserve the treatment they are getting from the Obama Admin?

Since when is telling the truth become such an awful thing?
They have been accused of spreading lies but no one has been able to prove it…and you know it is not from lack of trying.
FOX News is doing what they are supposed to do…investigating the people that Obama has surrounded himself with and investigating Obama…why is that a bad thing?
Why is it so difficult for some people to understand this? Calling someone a liar is different than proving someone is a liar.

Michelle answers:

Truth IS an awful and fearsome thing to deceivers!
And Freedom of Speech is a threat to communist thinking and agendas!
Therein lies your answer! 🙂

Joseph asks…

How did Fox news function last time the democrats were in power?

So it’s no secret Fox news is a right winged bias network, but as i was too young to remember from the last time the democrats were in power, i’m curious how the network spoke of the government at the time and how much power their opinions really have over the people. What did they have to say about Clinton etc…

Any insight would be great !
I’d also be interested to know what people think they might be like towards the new democratic govt.

Cheers!

Michelle answers:

I did not know this until you asked this question but I guess Fox News wasn’t carried nationally until 2001. So, I guess we don’t know what they were like before Bush. Hannity and Colmes was on at the beginning though, in 1997 and so was O’Reilly. So I think the smaller version of FN was pretty much the same as it is now. It was fun reading this stuff. I guess Ted Turner put up quite the stink about letting Fox News onto Time Warner Cable. LOL. I think I love Ted Turner now.

Robert asks…

Why does Fox News not hold there Anchors Responsible for making BiPartisan donations to people they interview?

They don’t even tell the viewer that they donated to the canidate they are interviewing and trying to make them look better then liberals?

Shouldn’t hannity be held to the same standards as MSBC Keith Olbermann who was suspended for donating to canidates?

OR is fox news spinning republican stuff fine an unbalanced and unfair and bad for politics?

Michelle answers:

They have no standards.

Nancy asks…

Can we take FOX News seriously after they refused to broadcast the president’s news conference?

FOX News did not broadcast President Obama’s news conference on Wednesday night. How unprofessional is that? Whatever they think of the president or his policies, he is still the president and his press conferences are newsworthy. I do not remember CNN or MSNBC ever failing to broadcast one of Bush’s talks — the informal ones as well as the press conferences at the White House.

FOX is acting like a spoiled child, pouting and stamping its feet because it didn’t get its way in the last election.

Michelle answers:

First make no mistake, I am a huge Obama fan.

However I have been complaining for years that the networks should take turns with these press conferences, no real reason to have the same thing on all the stations. I mean CBS, NBC, ABC, and the other little networks. Admittedly it was because I could not stand watching or listening to Bush, but the principle is valid and I think applies to all presidents.

Cable News is another story however. One would think that Cable News should cover all of these. To be clear, was it the Fox tv channel that didn’t cover or the Fox Cable News channel? Fox tv I could care less but Fox Cable News should be covering it.

Your Questions About Fafsa

Mark asks…

When applying for FAFSA does your financial aid start in Fall?

I have a friend who needs financial aid for this spring semester, and I am afraid that financial aid through FAFSA doesn’t start until fall semester. I assume she can get financial aid for summer through the school, but what should she do for spring quarter after this winter quarter?

Michelle answers:

She can get it to start in the spring 09. She needs to go online at http://fafsa.ed.gov and select the 2008-2009 fafsa. If she is starting school next week and is just now applying, her aid won’t be processed by the time school starts, but she can still get it. They can can still process it after the semester starts. If the school wants money before, maybe she can borrow it from someone. Some schools will let you attend classes with an outstanding balance as long as you have fin aid pending.

Donna asks…

Can you still send in your FAFSA if you dont have a drivers license?

I was planning to send in my Fafsa today, but I cant find my drivers license anywhere! The Fafsa asks for a drivers license number. Can I still send it in if I dont have one? And will it be sent back if I send it in without one?

Michelle answers:

Yes you can. Leave the state the drivers license was issued and the number blank.

Charles asks…

How long after your fafsa application is processed do you actually get the money for school?

Im wondering if i fill out the fafsa it takes two weeks to process application. How long do i have to wait for the money for school? How does it work?

Michelle answers:

This was my experience.

Did FAFSA, processed 1 day later, my school got it a few days later, they asked for verification, I printed out the Dependent Verification form I was asked to fill out and attach my parents IRS tax form 2009, I gave it to my Financial Aid Office personally however you can mail this if you are too far away, THREE weeks later, it verified and has “satisfied requirements and processed”, so my status says in my schools website. Now, you will receive the money shortly before classes start. What happens is, they need to determine how much you need so in order to do that, they have to see how many classes you are signed up for, and estimate what you’d need for books etc. However, for the cost of tuition, you don’t get the money, the school does. For books however, you get a check in the mail.

If there’s any money left back, you keep it. 😀

Sandra asks…

I filled out my FAFSA towards the start of classes. Will I be able to receive money from them?

Is it to late? I had to pay for my tuition because If I didn’t I would have been dropped from all my classes. But I filed the FAFSA and if I was eligible to receive money from them for that year will I get a reimbursement for all that I paid for? If yes, when will I receive it?

Michelle answers:

You need to talk to your schools financial aid department to get accurate answers. Call them, e-mail them, go see them in person – but talk to them.

If you filled out the FAFSA you should have gotten an e-mail or letter from them saying they received it, and you should have an estimated family contribution as well as something from the school with an estimated amount of financial aid pending.

However, though most students DO get aid through the FAFSA if your parents make too much money you may not qualify. Which is why you need to talk to your schools financial aid department to make sure that you received money – and how much. If you applied late you would get less than the students who applied early as well. The amount given is determined by need, but there is only so much to give – early applicants get more.

As for reimbursement, that is a policy determined by the school. Any money from federal aid that is NOT used for school goes directly to you in a check or direct deposit to be used how you see fit. So if you got full payment, and had to pay for school before it was given to you, the school may reimburse you or they may just give you the full amount in a check.

Again, to get accurate answers for your school contact your financial aid department. And I’d say as soon as possible is best. E-mail them, then follow up with a call to make an appointment.

Mandy asks…

How can I fortify a FedEx envelope to not smash the contents when it is shipped through the FedEx centers?

I’m sending out nice marketing pieces in expensive folders within cardboard FedEx Paks and the FedEx handling process is making them arrive looking terrible (creating a bad impression instead of the good one I was willing to spend the $ on for FedEx in the first place). Anything I can place in the edge of the FedEx Sturdy Pak or around the folder I’m sending itself to ensure that it arrives to the recipient as good-looking as it was packaged? Any ideas? I appreciate it.

Michelle answers:

Use your own packaging, a sturdy cardboard corrugated box.

OR use their bubble packs and line them with cardboard.

Michael asks…

Why do FedEx likes to leave packages in the front door without knocking to see if anyone was home?

I heard a noise(It wasn’t a knock just footsteps) in the front of my door and when i looked I didn’t see anyone but I saw a package. What if someone stole that package? Are they liable for it? One of these day if I didn’t get my package and turns out someone stole it. . . I’m going to SUE FedEx!

Michelle answers:

The post office does it all the time. My sister lives in Maryland and has repeatedly asked the post office to keep her packages and she will pick them up herself. They can leave notices. They never do and she has had several packages stolen from her front door. FedEx and UPS do it all the time to me but fortunately I live in an area that is somewhat isolated from mainstream traffic and I have a big dog so I haven’t lost any packages because of that. I don’t think you can sue them. Call the main office and see if you can request for them to leave you notification whenever you have a package.

Donald asks…

How can I get Firefox 3 to stop logging me out everytime I close the browser?

I close my browser often for various reasons, and having to repeatedly log into my accounts like Facebook, Yahoo, Gmail, and etc, is very inconvenient and getting gold. Firefox 2 never did this, just my current Firefox 3.

Michelle answers:

It’s logging you out because it’s deleting all the tracking cookies that websites have planted on your computer. That is a very GOOD thing! However, Facebook, Yahoo, Gmail, etc all use cookies, too.

Find where you can set your “Preferences” or “Options” and then find where you can allow certain cookies to remain on the computer. I’m running FF 3.5 and can’t recall at this time the exact path to take to get there. It’s either under Edit or Tools. Once you find Preferences or Options go to Privacy and then under the Cookies section set your Exceptions to allow the particular sites you want to stay logged into.

I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Maria asks…

How to stop Firefox download window from popping up in Mac?

I have a Mac and use the latest version of Firefox. I want the download window to stop popping up every time i save like a picture or something. For instance when i save a picture i see in firefox, the download window pops up saying what i’ve downloaded and stuff. How do i get that pop up window to stop popping up everytime i save something to my computer (like a picture) in Firefox? I can’t find anything in preferences in firefox either. PLEASE HELP!

Michelle answers:

In the location field of Firefox, type:
about:config

Press Return.

You will see a long list of parameters. In the “Filter” field at top, type:
browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting
(That is “browser. Download. Manager. ShowWhenStarting” but without the spaces. Yahoo Answers is wacky about not allowing long “words”)

Where you see “true”, double-click to change it to “false”.

(By the way, this isn’t a Mac thing. You need to do the exact same thing in Firefox for Windows or Linux.)
