"10 Facebook Tips for Power Users \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. View Photos Full-Screen\n\nYou can browse Facebook photos in full-screen mode, making for a better gallery viewing experience. \nIn an album, click on the first image, then hover over the photo. A floating menu will appear along the bottom of the image. \nClick on \"Options\" and you'll see the ability to \"Enter Fullscreen.\" Now you can browse with a clean, black background. \nTo return to normal mode, simply hit the Escape key or the \"X\" on the top-right of your display.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Hide What You Read\n\nIf you like Facebook's new social reading apps, but don't want to broadcast to the world what you read on your coffee break, adjust the settings accordingly. \nFor apps that you're already using, head to \"Account Settings\" from the drop-down menu next to \"Home\" at the top-right of your display. Go to the \"Apps\" tab.\nNow click \"Edit\" to the right of the relevant app. In the box that opens you'll see \"Posts on your behalf - Who can see posts this app makes for you on your Facebook timeline?\" \nUse the drop-down menu to select \"Only me.\" You can also follow this same process as you sign up to new apps.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Create a List Based on Your Interests\n\nHave you taken advantage of Facebook's \"Lists\" functionality?\nSimilar to Twitter lists, you can create lists based on your interests and then tune in for a targeted catch-up on certain topics. \nTo create your first list, simply click \"More\" next to the \"Interests\" section on your homepage menu. Click \"Add Interests,\" then \"Create List.\"\nYour lists can be comprised of people, subscriptions and friends. Once created, you can choose to make them private to you, or share them with the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Populate Your Map With Pics \n\nYou can retrospectively add locations to images you've already uploaded to Facebook, making for an interesting map that shows all the places you've been.\nTo populate your map with photos, click on the \"Photos\" box under your cover photos and select \"Add Photos to Map.\"\nYou will then be able to scroll through all your images and add the relevant geo data.\nThere's more information about adding imagery to your Facebook map here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Reposition Photos on Your Timeline \n\nIf you want your timeline to look as lovely as possible, you can fine tune how your images appear.\nIf an image is off-center or you can't see the main focus of the photo, reposition it to look better.\nClick the \"Edit or Remove\" pencil icon on the top-right and select \"Reposition Photo.\" Click and drag it until it's in a better position.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Hide From Friends In Facebook Chat\n\nThere's bound to be a few people you'd rather not chat with on Facebook. Hiding, or appearing to be offline to certain friends, is simple. \nJust click on that person's name in the chat window, as if you were about to start a conversation, then hit the cog icon in the top-right.\nFrom the menu, click \"Go Offline to [Name].\" You are now hidden.\nA more detailed walk-through of this process can be found here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Pre-Approve All Tags \n\nDid you know you can set your Facebook account to require pre-approval before any tagged content appears on your timeline?\nTo set this up, select \"Privacy Settings\" from the drop-down menu on the top-right of your Facebook page.\nNext to \"Timeline and Tagging,\" click on \"Edit Settings.\" \nLook down for \"Review posts friends tag you in before they appear on your Timeline\" and \"Review tags friends add to your own posts on Facebook\" -- set these both to \"on.\"\nWe have previously offered a more detailed look at this process. It can be found here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Hide Annoying Content From Your News Feed\n\nWhat appears in your Facebook news feed is subject of much discussion, but you can control it, to a certain extent.\nFrom the homepage, click on the pencil icon that appears when you hover over \"News Feed,\" and select \"Edit settings.\"\nHere you can hide posts coming into your stream from certain people, certain apps and certain pages. \nIf you really want to drill down to customize your news feed, we have previously offered some useful tips here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Create a Secret Group\n\nYou can create a \"secret\" Facebook group that only you, and the friends you choose to share it with, can view. It's a fun way to share members-only content with a select few.\nTo start your secret group, click \"More\" next to the \"Groups\" area on your homepage. Select \"Create Group\" on the next page that loads. \nOnce you've named your group, choose a fun icon from the drop-down menu, add friends and then check the \"secret\" option. \nYou will now see your new group under the \"Groups\" area in your homepage. Click on it to post to the group and view content from others.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Upload Images in High Quality \n\nFinally, Facebook's default photo upload functionality is not high resolution. \nIf you want to ensure your images are the best quality possible, always check the \"High Quality\" box as you upload. \nIt will take a little longer, but the better images should be worth the wait.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacebook is a platform like any other \u2014 with a little practice you can get really good at using it.
