Facebook changed your e-mail address, here's how you can change it back
Thanks, Facebook. Really, we all wanted our @Facebook.com e-mail address listed instead of, you know, our real e-mail address.
Today, Facebook was kind enough to replace the e-mail account listed on your profile with the @Facebook.com e-mail address it provided you with awhile back. Wait, you didn't give Facebook permission to make the change? No one did. Not cool, Facebook.
Changing the e-mail account listed on your Facebook profile will only take a few minutes out of your day, but is well worth the time if you want people to know the best way to get in touch with you.
Here's how:
- View your Facebook Timeline.
- Click on your About section.
- Click on Edit in the Contact Info section.
- Next to your personal e-mail you should see a crossed out circle. Change that to the open circle, like the one next to your Facebook e-mail address. Then, if you don't want your Facebook e-mail listed, mark it as hidden from your Timeline.
- Click on Save when you're finished.
That's really not the e-mail address I want people to have for me. Let's change that.

My personal e-mail is marked as hidden from my Timeline, while my Facebook e-mail is shown. I didn't change this setting.

Much better.
