Facebook messaging privacy

[fliptheswitch]

Hi all, just a quickie...

When you send someone a message on Facebook, does it allow that person to view your full profile?
I don't really know how to test this, as I need to be 100% sure.

Thanks :)

No........

Someone called Mark?? *claims* that he can hack Facebook accounts. Interesting but for entirely different reasons..........

For all of those on FB, this is a copy and paste from one of my friends.

"FB has changed without any notification. Look at your URL (top box on your screen.) If you see "http" or just "www" instead of "https" you DO NOT have a secure session & can be hacked. Go to Account Settings - Security - click Edit. Check box (secure browsing), click Save. FB has automatically set it on the non-secure setting. Do everyone a huge favor, copy & re-post."

Hi SlackAlice - I've just done that (thanks) but it still says www. at the top. Any ideas if this is as it should be (at the very top of my page, above the bit that says www. It says 'Facebook - and then a locked lock symbol' - I am using an iPad.
