Too many complaints from thieves that the images were too small to use so FB enlarged them.

ya no doubt

I also noticed that the images loaded faster than before.

I can't remember from last night but did they remove the 'download' option?? I wish you could turn that off.

My wife pointed this out last night. I'm so tired of their needless changes... Just makes everything more complicated and generally breaks everything...

all the more reason to go purely to Google + ....

I'd love to kill my FB account... but people aren't adopting Google + as they should....

I'd love to see FB shutdown all together lol.. Google+ is still in beta isn't it? I don't use it that much but I'm not on FB much either...

The more frequently they change things, the more opportunity for them to "accidentally" make all of your supposedly private stuff public.

Internet users are a fickle bunch though. Something new and shiny comes along and they can migrate almost overnight. FB won't be doing anything with my personal data since they'll never have it.

I see some FB photos showing up between 800 pix and 900, so it sounds like it's true.

But, looking at older photos it doesn't look like things are automatically enlarged, or maybe it's just ones I sized just for FB. For me, FB is still something I'm "in", simply because I've got so many family, friends, and fellow photog "POTN friends" in there. There are other places, of course (I joined Google+ but haven't been active there). But I even still have an account on MySpace:)!
