Facebook Question!!!

College Confidential Community

<p>Hi guys,
many are probably now getting their email addresses for the fall semester. I got mine on Tuesday, and wanted to make my facebook account. But when i signed into facebook (with my new email address), they said that I had already been registered from January 31, 2005, and there was already another person with the same email address as me!! It was so weird!! So then i checked my college directory, and there was no one with that name...</p>

<p>Anyone have any idea whats going on?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>You should call the technical support people at your school and describe your problem. They should be able to help you.</p>

<p>how many of you guys are on facebook now?</p>

<p>Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>it's probably because the one who had your email address graduated thus was no longer in the school directory and you just happened to have the email address he left for you.</p>

<p>just curious - does anyone know how to make characters bold or italicized on facebook?</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure you can't use any formatting tags.</p>

<p>I believe there are certain parts such as the about section where you could use html codes ( <i> & <b> etc, not sure if it still works now though since facebook had several upgrades since then) to italicize and bold characters.</b></i></p><i><b>
