    Try another browser like mozilla or google's chrome.

    Sometimes it tends to not work just for a little while and when you log out and log back it it will start working!

    If it has been happening for a while then try using a different browser if that doesnt work try using a different facebook account.

    It's really disappointing and annoying. I also can't set my privacy search option to "friends only" and there's no "friends of friends" because "everyone" is the only option. Boo! I hope facebook will fix this soon. It's not that I'm trying to hide my account from a lot of people, I just don't want to encourage online voyeurism at my expense. Even if there are some people that I do want to hide from, blocking them is not the best solution. Come on, some people are friends of the people we know. Who knows one day they'll share the same computer so some of them can still see our profile in a way and it's not an odd chance. Facebook is always having the habit of exposing everyone. I understand the purpose of social networking but why are there not too many privacy options? Maybe I'll just close down my account.
