Facebook tricks

At this point, you are all probably pretty
familiar with Facebook, and some of the
more common features like updating
statuses, checking-in, browsing profiles,
pages, and apps, and many more day to
day actions.
However, most people are not aware of a
number of interesting, but mostly useless,
tricks and hacks, which you can perform
on Facebook today.
Here are five of our favorite useless, but
interesting, Facebook tricks and hacks for
you try:
Removing Your Last Name in Your
Facebook Profile

The Trick:
As part of Facebook’s security checks, you
are required to completely fill out your
account details to successfully create an
account. By default, Facebook requires
every user to enter their full name prior
to saving their profile settings.
With this trick, you will be able to bypass
Facebook’s restrictions and drop your last
name.
How to Do it:
1) Open Mozilla Firefox (Firefox is
required for this hack to work)
2) Go to Options -> Advanced -> Network
-> Settings -> Connection Settings ->
Manual Proxy Configuration
3) In the HTTP Proxy Field, enter
103.10.62.30 , port 8080, or use any
Indonesian Proxy.
4) On your facebook profile, go to
Account settings — > Change Language to
BAHASA INDONESIA
5) Remove your middle name & last
name.
Adding Animated Custom Tabs

The Trick:
Facebook doesn’t allow users to upload
animated GIFs anywhere on the site, so if
you wanted to have an animated GIF
somewhere, you’re out of luck, unless…
There is a trick that allows anyone, who
has the following resources, to bypass this
limitation in uploading animated GIFs for
custom tabs.
How to Do it:
1) You must have Adobe Photoshop C5 &
Quicktime Player.
2) Select the animate GIF you want to
upload.
3) Open Adobe Photoshop CS5 and go to
File > Import > Video frames to layers. In
the File Name box, just enter *.* as your
filename and choose your GIF image.
4) Resize your GIF to 111 x 74 pixels to fit
the custom tab image .
5) Save your file in a PSD format. Check
the save option, ‘LAYERS’
Creating Your Own Emoticon on Facebook
Chat
The Trick:
While this is not actually new, many
people have no idea about this feature.
Since 2011, Facebook has allowed users
to chat with their friends using custom
emoticons, and now you can too. Just by
getting a page’s or a profile’s ID or
username , Facebook will let you use their
profile pictures as your chat emoticon in
thumbnails…
*note this only works in the Facebook
Chat and not in updates.
How to Do it:
1) Go to any profile, official Page, or
event that you want to use as an
emoticon.
2) Look for the profile ID at the end of
the URL, such as “Mcdonalds” from
https://www.facebook.com/McDonalds
3) Place that username or number in
double brackets like [[Mcdonalds]]
Note: Pages with no username /vanity
URL e.g https://www.facebook.com/
McDonalds have default ID numbers
displayed on their URLs (https://
www.facebook.com/pages/Socially-
Awkward-Penguin/ 98438140742
). So when you cannot find a profile or a
page’s username, just refer to the
numbers at the end of the URL, instead.
4) Enter that into a Facebook Chat or
Message field.

Making Your Profile Photo Un-clickable
The Trick:
Not everyone really wants to have their
header image clickable, but yet that’s the
way Facebook header images work, or do
they? Well, if you’re curious, you should
give this one a try:
How to Do it:
1) Go to your Albums – > Profile Pictures
2) Select your current profile picture.
3) Adjust privacy setting to “Only Me”

an event can be a tedious task, especially

How to Do it:
1) Open Firefox and go to your Facebook

Interaction” so that you can invite all
friends to your page. Scroll down till all of
your friends are shown in the page.
3) Press Ctrl+Shift+K and a small window
will appear at bottom.
4) Paste the below code in it and click
enter.

javascript:elms=document.
getElementsByName(“checkableitems[]“)
;for (i=0;i < elms.length;i++){if (elms[i]
.type=”checkbox” )elms[i].click()};

Hacks and Tricks like the above, should
always be attempted using caution. We
are not aware of anyone ever getting in
trouble for using the above tricks, but in
some cases they do bypass the intended
functionality of Facebook, so be careful.
