all i can change is network and friends but i want certain people (family member) to not see anything on my profile at all...including pics, who i've added and what networks I joined. Is this possible? All I can see is add network and friends, friends only but not specify individuals...

I think this works, go to settings, then privacy settings - click on profile, then you can choose to exclude the person from specific areas such as photos etc

hope this helps?

There are dropdown menus for the different sections, if you customize it, you can select "Some Friends" then put the names of the people you wish to view it in there.

or the other box for "except these people" for ones who cant.

Facebook>

Settings > Privacy Settings (top right corner next to Logout)

Profile

Dropdown menus on that page apart from "Profile" have the option "Customize", this brings open a window where you can edit exceptions.

Works fine for me, if that doesn't work i'll get screenshots...
