I can't write on my OWN wall :( I only get the wall to wall option. Also I only get wall posts in news and mini feeds. I don't actually have a Wall on my profile. I have did all the security settings things, but still makes no difference. I remember I removed it at one time, now it's lost forever. Please help me get my wall back on my profile, so I can write on my OWN wall. Thanks

Agree the "ergonomics" of the wall is less than smooth

I'm a student in Canada, been on FB since 05. My pet peeves are:

1. people that send you friend requests which require you to search their name in your gmail to see how you are connected, as you have no idea who they are or how they got your name.

2. People that share too much personal information on your wall. "Hey Phillip, heard you went on date last night, hope it went well" is ok "Hey Phillip, did you date really say that you are boring and dance like a chimp?" is not ok.

FB rocks although I do miss the 2005/2006 days when it was student-only.

"social formating" hahaha

Setting that kind of policy sounds like social formating.

Let just people do the way they want with their wall. And use Greasemonkey to block whatever you dislike.

If they're really your friend, they'll check your profile daily for updates. JK.

Sometimes I write responses on my own wall if I think the general public would be interested in the answer (how presumptuous is that?) You can copy and paste onto your friend's wall AND your wall, yeah?

I'm getting pretty peevish about all these spammy messages that keep getting put on my Funwall. You know the kind, just like the emails that say "forward this to everyone you know!" I can't figure out how to tell people not to do that without offending them, so I just remove the offending posts right away.

Hear, hear!! Well done on alerting the newbies about Wall-to-Wall - it's kind of a duh, but I suppose some folks don't quite understand it.

And poking?! Euch! I have a zero-tolerance poking policy. LOL

I'd say my own pet peeve is frivolous app invitations, especially from people I don't know personally. (Ok, it's my own damn fault for adding them as friends).

I wish the default action would be Wall-to-Wall...alas...it's left up to the user to actually READ... and we all know how that's gonna end up.

One thing that bugs me multiple requests to Causes and Applications. Hello...If I turned you down on Vampire Bites once...it's gonna happen again...and again... give it up... and don't get pissy with me about it. It's not a reflection on you...I'm not into all the novelty apps on Facebook.

I'll take a SuperPoke anyday from you!

I am so glad you posted this. People writing on their own walls annoys me. Mainly because no one did that when Facebook first came to my school (back when it was still only open to colleges) - we all knew the wall was for others to write on. For some reason, new Facebook users just don't get it.

Not being allowed to post on my own wall!
