Sorry. I gave you instructions for getting them out of notifications, which is different. What you want on that page is " Show in News Feed." The Close Friends setting shouldn't affect that.

Open the profile of the person you want to hide. Near the bottom is a link called " See Friend Lists". I wish they had not changed the description here from what it used to be because that phrase is ambiguous. Nevertheless, if you activate it, you will come to a page that lets you choose from Facebook generated and personally created lists into which you can organize your friends. The first checkbox on this page is " Get Notifications". Uncheck that, go to the "Done" button, and they're gone! Note that if you have them in the Close Friends list, that overrides this setting, so you will need to uncheck that too. I should also point out that there may be differences in the page based on the browser you use. I am using Firefox. Finally, I'm not sure that affects what you see from third party apps like Socialize. I know in the past some things that I've excluded from my feed still show up in these apps. Thankfully at least with Socialize you can filter there as well. Please note: This email address is not closely monitored.

Yes, I know social eyes is available, but I am looking to make changes on my facebook account that will make changes permanantly on the facebook servers. Anyway, how do I hide posts from specific people (meaning I would like to hide all posts from certain people). Apparrantly, JAWS users can do this, but Window eyes users cannot. I normally use the mobile site, but if i need to do this on the regular site, then I will need instructions on how to do this. Thanks K "The World belongs to the sighted.
