Directions to change Facebook application settings
Now that Facebook changed the way that applications land on your Facebook wall all these applications look like graffiti.
I personally don’t like all those silly applications that send people things but today I decided to send a ‘peep’ to a friend who had a difficult procedure and wanted to make her smile. Well after I sent her the ‘peep’ it was littered all over my wall and I know no one else wanted to see all of those peeps.
I found out HOW to change my application settings. So many people don’t realize this setting and thought this tutorial would help others stop their Facebook wall graffiti.
Step #1
Go to top of your Facebook page and click on Settings. ( It is to the left of the LOGOUT button at the top.)
Then click on Application Settings.
Step#2
This now will show you a list of all your applications Groups, Photos,”Silly apps like peeps, gifts etc. Each application has individual settings.
You can edit how those applications show up on your wall. Click on Edit Settings
Step #3
Now this box pops up and lets to decide how this application shows up on your Wall, Profile etc.
Look at the Tabs and go through them and explore them.
I want to point out the WALL tab. This is the one where the default setting gives you too many ’silly apps’ on your wall which looks like graffiti and if you want people to read your wall having too much of this is a BIG turn off.
With the way the new Facebook is having these applications default to the setting ALLOW that is why you are seeing the increase Wall clutter.
So to get less clutter on your wall click on the button either PROMPT ME or NEVER.
Your friend will still get your ’silly app gift’ but everyone in Facebook cyberspace doesn’t have to see it.

Thanks! Do you know how to change the settings of all the applications you are using at once? If not, I should change the setting of my 150 apps one by one. Any clue?
No unfortunately I have not found a ‘app’ for that. Each applications do different things with your Facebook so it would be harder to bulk change.

Sounds like your email internet settings might be set too high which is causing your links in your email to not work try changing those settings to get the links to work again.
Or you could copy and paste the links manually into your internet browser.
