Hello everyone, thanks for helping me!:

I used to be able to block sites on facebook using the terminal (individual sites) with the command

127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com/person.name

but after an update (i believe I updated to the mac OSX 10.6.7 snow leopard ) I cannot longer block this specific webpage.

I can block facebook.com but I used to be able to block a single webpage... any ideas? my terminal looks like this:


GNU nano 2.0.6 File: /etc/hosts

127.0sudo /usr/bin/pico /etc/hostssudo /usr/bin/pico /etc/hostssudo /usr/bin/pi$
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost

127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com/person.name

"person.name" is to protect the identity of the person I want to block....

HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!!
 
If the only pages you want to block are specific users in Facebook, how about blocking them from Facebook itself?

To block someone:
From your Account dropdown menu, select Privacy Settings.
Under Block Lists, click "Edit your lists."


Enter the name or email address of the person you want to block in the appropriate field and click "Block." People will not be notified when you block them.
If you can’t find someone using this method, try going to the person’s profile page. You can block them by scrolling down to the bottom of the left column and clicking the "Report/Block This Person" link. Once you click this link, check the "Block this person" box and then click "Submit."

If you still can’t block someone using the methods described above, it’s possible that they have left Facebook or have restricted their privacy settings. You can still prevent them from viewing your profile by adjusting your privacy settings.
