Son has FB account - I opened one just to mainly keep an eye on him. Only really look at it on my Blackberry. Every morningI take a quick peek, and see latest postings from friends, and normally see my son;s name and his "photo of the day". As image is so small I dont generally look too close. He went away with school for a week and yet every day he was still posting a photo. Couldnt see how he was doing it. Got back and askd him- it wasnt him and hasnt ever been him! Opened PC to look properly and the photos are just general images of scenery etc yet when you click them it goes to some sort of shopping page. So last night he changed his password. Woke up this morning and 'he' has posted yet another photo! Any idea what is causing this and how to stop it?? TIA

He's added the photo of the day app, which posts a random photo each day.

It's not been hacked.

Ahhhhh, silly s&d ( him not you!).
So he can just remove the app then.
Yes.

OR remove it permission to post to his wall, which he would have agreed to when he added the app.
If you look in the top right hand corner of facebook you will see an arrow next to the word home, Click here, You will see privacy settings, Click on that.
Near the bottom of the page you will see applications and edit settings, click that.
You will get a list of all the apps he is using on facebook, Click edit settings on the app you want to remove or edit.

Facebook apps have a habit of posting to your wall when they feel like it, Very annoying.
