Right round like a record, baby

Facebook has made another wonderful SNAFU decision and changed your privacy settings causing concerns and making your private data public unless you make sure your privacy settings remain in place.
This blog is for those who were confused and or skipped this step when prompted by Facebook this morning to update their Privacy settings. Another "trick" that Facebook applies as an update, if you selected "Everyone" then your private items that were for "Friends Only" can now be seen by every user on Facebook.
If you did get this screen, make sure to select "Old Settings" for everything to keep your privacy settings how they were.
