More bugs

Mobile:
  • Profile pictures - Heads are cut off if the user has a tall profile picture: http://screencast.com/t/a9unr52B
  • Mobile photos - Clicking on mobile photo on one's profile brings the user to the first picture in their mobile album, making them click twice on the picture.
  • Searching for people: If I look for someone with a common name only people with mutual friends of mine show up in the results, if I try via the web I see more results.

Desktop Site:

  • Timeline
  • Friends lists - If a user is in more than 5 lists not all of them will show up. http://screencast.com/t/RvqlWeEGE User has to click on "Show all lists" to see each one that user is listed on.
  • Mobile photos - users cant rearrange photos in that album but can every other album. I'm not seeing a reason why.

Facebook Bugs




iPhone Bugs:
  • Clicking on a comment notification brings you to the comment section (as if you were going to make a comment) not the photo first.
  • If someone comments on a photo album, users can't see the whole comment on the mobile app. Clicking on a notification goes to page not found.
  • Users have to use the Desktop Site to tag people in the middle of a post. Mobile only allows tagging at the end of a post.
  • There is no longer a Desktop Site for mobile. If a user goes to a direct url for it they cant post if they have tagged someone in the post.
  • If someone tags you in a post it won't show up on your fb wall via mobile but it will through the desktop site.
  • If I visit a person I am not friends with on the iphone app, I should still see their wall like I can through the Desktop Site. I am friends of friends with Mark Zuckerberg, I should see his wall on the mobile app like I do on the desktop site.
  • Users cant see the privacy settings of their friends posts when they are on the mobile app (ex, public, friends only, friends of friends, etc)
  • Friends lists are no longer on the mobile app (you used to be able to view in the feed only specific friends list, now it is just the newsfeed)

Main Site Bugs:
  • A user's set privacy (friends only, custom, public) doesn't keep the default on statuses. If you change the privacy for an individual post it will change the default settings for all future posts. What's the point of default?
  • Users don't receive FB notifications via text if they get a message. Friend requests and comments do get texted, though.
  • If someone uploads 2 pictures the desktop site (non timeline) doesn't show 2 pics uploaded -- either 3 or 1. Mobile shows two, though.
  • Checking in via the mobile app shows a checkin photo (If page already has a photo for venue) but desktop site doesn't for that checkin.
  • You can only add a user to a friends list after you have accepted them -- not before you press accept. Old way was better.
  • Changing your profile picture: 1. users don't know they can edit their thumbnail unless they see that link when hovered over it. 2. Users have to click fit to scale twice to actually have it scale to fit. The first time it says it is scale to fit when it isn't really scaled to fit. http://screencast.com/t/R6WL56gWpG
  • Emails for a request to tag a photo are showing up wrong in the subject:http://screencast.com/t/bTeticPS (I think this has been fixed)
  • After adding a friend I am seeing them in my requests page:http://screencast.com/t/WI25oFc6x1US
  • Users see all music on http://www.facebook.com/music but NOT their own. Why do we have to go to http://www.facebook.com/USERNAME/music to see our own?
  • It is nearly impossible to edit a past posts' privacy through an iphone. 1st Finding the desktop site is hard. 2. Once you do, trying to edit a post the window keeps moving and wont allow you to add or delete friends lists/names:http://screencast.com/t/NMRR6FBjQ0

TIMELINE BUGS

Suggestions for a better user experience:
  • Users can't change the permissions of their Profile Pictures Album unless they are on the /media/albums page. If the user is in that album they can't change the privacy, yet all other albums allow that.
  • View As: Users should be able to view how a specific user that they are not friends with can see their profile vs having to copy/paste their ID into their view as URL. (like the search function)
  • Showing only certain people/lists (custom privacy on posts like "Close Friends") should NOT show users who can see the post. Otherwise you should be showing who is blocked as well. Hate this "feature" as well as many others.
  • As of 12/8 it looks like there is a new bug where it says custom, but when you click there is no one showing: http://screencast.com/t/ix9ePcxG7F I like that, but why have the link there? Just dont show the names, please.
  • Users can unfollow a photo thread but not a normal status or link?
  • There is no obvious place to change who can see where you are checked into unless someone checks you in. This should be on the Tags part of the Facebook Privacy page.
  • Timeline -- since I last tried it, pictures didn't always fit correctly and there were gaps between stories. They shouldn't have gaps/empty spaces. Fill it with another status or minimize the extra space http://screencast.com/t/RiRo0TKTsrT
  • Music - Don't show the number of listens people have per song. Or give the option to delete/not show the number if listens.
  • Friends list -- this really needs to be reverted or bring some old features back
    • Can’t see who isn't in a friends list
    • Clicking on editing a friends list. If user clicks on the friend it removes them from the list. It should only be the X in the corner not the whole pic that removes the user.
    • Users have to individually go to each person to add them to multiple lists or go through each list to add them. It was easier when the users were all listed out on the edit friends page.
    • I hate to say this, but Google Plus won this round.
  • I keep setting my newsfeed to Most Recent but for some reason it keeps being set back to Top Stories. Please make this stop.
  • Most of my friends feel like the ticker and top stories make them miss more stories.
  • Bring back subjects to FB messages.
  • It would be nice if we could have FAMILY as one of the boxes we show (for example:http://screencast.com/t/iOUP69DyW)
