Here is the new code I have got working for automatically deleting multiple Facebook messages from the Facebook message inbox.

Please note you have to do the following to make it work with your own set up: -

1. Check the ‘Version Build’ Number matches that of your iMacro version
2. Make sure your Facebook is set to use https (secure browsing setting)
3. Re-run if it hits a fault that it does not get past – this has happened to me however it is not so often and makes the deleting of messages much easier than the multi click per message option
4. Don’t forget to archive any messages you want to keep – you’ll have to do this manually to be able to choose what to keep of course!
5. You’ll need the iMacros add-on for Firefox to use this script..

iMacros plugin for Firefox can be found through a link on this page

FYI: Whilst you may delete your messages from private messages and chats, if the other person in the conversation does not delete theirs Facebook still has a copy.

You will notice that there are 5 sections to the code, one for each vowel so that it picks up the link to each friends name to know the message to click. Facebook uses the full message ID which will not allow multiple deletes. Loop the iMacro to delete more than five messages.

If anyone can tell me why Facebook does not allow us to turn off chat recording or have a delete all messages option I would love to now!

The code that is currently working for me is below. I just tested it by copying and pasting it into a new iMacro within Firefox and saving under a new name and it is working well.

If you like the code and it is working for you, please share or link to this page, thank you.

If you want to clean posts from your Facebook wall you can avoid the tedious process of several clicks for each post to be deleted.

Go to the Facebook Wall Cleaner page and drag the link to your bookmarks or bookmark toolbar.
Then go to your Facebook profile page and click on the bookmark.
Select the number of posts to keep (delete up until) leaving your most recent posts in place.

After the recent change / update to the Tor Project the Windows package the Tor Button for Firefox no longer works by default. I like to use the Tor Button in Firefox instead of the Tor Browser (currently Aurora, designed by Mozilla) for instances when I wish to view using add-ons such as Flash Player for videos or access my main set of bookmarks already stored within Firefox.

After searching around for a while and testing different options I found that it is necessary to make an option change to get the Firefox Tor Button working again.

1. Go to your extensions list to find the Tor Button options

2. Choose the first tab ‘Proxy Settings’

3. Untick ‘use Polipo’

Your Tor Button should now work within Firefox as with previous versions of the Tor Bundle for Windows.

Facebook stores a wealth of information of yours on various servers around the World. With several years of wall posts there is a lot of information that you may not want in the public domain. Governments and criminals could use this for ill purposes!
I deleted my four years of wall posts using iMacros however I have just done a minor clean using CleanMyWall.

Here are the instructions for cleaning your wall using CleanMyWall.. CleanMyWall Page..

Not sure why Outlook 2007 has started asking me for the profile I want to load when I open the program but it is a step I do not need. I tried deleting the existing profile listed as ‘outlook’ but then I was asked to create a new profile and for for the account settings for this new Outlook profile. I could not then open Outlook with my previous settings.

I resorted to a recovery as I had taken a back up the day before using Paragon Back Up & Recovery software (this has saved me several times recently). Now I am still getting asked for a profile, however this time I have accepted the pre-populated ‘outlook’ profile and it has all my original settings.

Whilst I did not set up this profile (not sure why it appeared) I have removed the request using the following method.

Go to >  Control Panel > Mail > Profiles then tick the box to select to ‘always use this profile’.

Now to Windows Update to see if that is what started the request. If anyone knows why this would start unprompted please let us know.

Toshiba laptops including the Satellite range have consistently low sound through the built in speakers. There are various suggestions on the Internet. We suggest the following which should be checked or tried with your own drivers and software set up.

Ensure you have the latest drivers for the in built Conextant Sound Drivers.
VLC Media Player (VLC) which uses a higher volume setting than many other programs whether from in built sound and volume boosting or just better software programming than Windows Media Player we are unsure. VLC is an open source media layer for many if not all types of media files including for video and music files.
