And now they want my cell phone # to get back into the account. Not gonna happen, locked out I guess for good, lol. Never did like the privacy issues with that site. Anyway made a couple of 'cover photos' for the page in there from stuff I got off DU, and Huffington post. Feel free to use them if you have a FB account or just wanna pass them around.

and I guess they don't require it from everybody ... yet ... ??? But I got locked out and they won't reactivate the account without a cell #, ... maybe because my account is so new? Who knows.

Yeah I got the thing you're talking about the first night I created the account ... but now this message comes up ...

"Please provide a response for the security check to continue we need you to provide your mobile phone number this quick security check helps keep facebook a community of real people who connect and share using their real identities if you ever lose your password you ll also be able to use your mobile number to access your account" -snip-

And it won't let me 'skip' this now to try and log in. But thanks for the response. Peace.

And there are no icons for messages or activity anymore ... no home page link, nada, no way to get to the home page. Just this notice and a little 'help' icon. When I click on the 'help' icon it sends me here ...



Which explains their reasoning somewhat, suspecting I have another FB account or something. Locked out and they need Cell phone, or Government ID to access the account again. When I first joined it sent me an email to confirm identity, which I did, it went through and all seemed well. Guess that wasn't good enough on day 2, lol.

Oh and it's the only FB account I had, so it was the only email account registered to FB. Took me this long to finally decide to join that site being so suspicious of it anyway. Que sara, sera. Peace.
