Did You Want A Facebook Email? Change it Back!
June 28, 2012
Facebook just removed everyone's email address from their profile and replaced it with an @facebook.com email address without asking you.
If you are trying to create visibility and an identity for your website by using your website email address, this sneaky move by Facebook defeats your purpose.
Fixing this is easy...but only if you know how. I must have stared at the pop-up window for 10 minutes before I gave up....and looked for instructions online.
Here are quick step-by-step instructions to change your @facebook email BACK to your preferred email address.
1. Go to your Facebook Profile.
2. Click on the "Update Info" button.
3. SCROLL DOWN the page to the "Contact Info".
4. Click on the Edit.
5. Click on the circle next to your Facebook email address and change its setting to "Hidden from Timeline".
6. Click on the circle next to your other email addresses and change their settings to "Shown On Timeline".
7. Scroll Down to the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the Edit popup. Don't forget this step or your changes will not be made!
