this is not a cool feature. this is one of the features that should be taken off. those picture that i took should not be allow to let anyone download them. So what you are saying it is cool for someone to download your pic that you took your self and anyone can download it with out asking you. then in turn they can also print the photos. doesn’t make sense why this feature is on facebook to start with you. i will also like to add that the pics are being download at high res.

@ unknow Dude I could also just hit printscreen. And then put it in paint and crop it, the whole point was to make it EASIER to download it. I mean if you dont want people having your pictures, then why are you uploading it to the internet?

And why the bleep do you have people chat conversation sent to their inbox. That’s like making a telephone call and when you finish, it’s been recorded. Now, I have to delete my conversation out of my message box when it should have never been going to my messages. Pick one, either message or chat, they don’t need to work together. I send someone a message, it alerts them I want to chat. No, I don’t want to chat, sometime I just want to send a message and be left alone.
