EDIT: My question has been resolved, thanks to the quick first responder. EDIT


I didn't notice this until just a little while ago, but facebook apparently takes it on itself to post things to your account on its own accord based on its own assumptions. Thus, it cements LIES to your profile that it won't let you delete if it happens to be wrong.

How in the world can I get rid of the lie that it has on my "history by year" part of the about section? I don't exactly want my profile claiming that I graduated from a college that I in actuality withdrew from. Mind, facebook came up with this assumption that I graduated from there and posted it by itself. There is no option to delete. HELP!

On your profile page, edit your "About" information. Then edit your "Work and Education" section.

Once there, you can edit details about your schools, and there's a little check box asking if you graduated.

This is a new feature, previously it just asked for your Class Year, and assumed you graduated then.

No problem. What is the internet for if not for gifting random strangers with random advice?

Pornography, humourous images of cats, niche webcomics and shoddy business deals? :smalltongue:

I'm wary of Facebook and Google always wanting to link themselves with every membership/log-in/what-have-you always wanting to consolidate themselves under one master-site. I don't want everyone knowing what I'm doing all the time.
