In response to "When did Facebook do away with the granular controls for filtering newsfeed content from your various friends?" by TWuG

Hover over the right of the news item and a chevron appears. Clicking on the chevron brings up a drop-down menu -- nm

I get "Get Notifications" and "I don't want to see this." Those are my choices. - TWuG Oct 30, 12:06 22
- ...then click 'settings'. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 30, 12:07 1
  - wait, ignore this one. But not the one above. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 30, 12:08
- What is it you want to block? -- nm - Roger More Oct 30, 12:07 19
  - There is one person who I want to see game updates from but not status updates from because he's a conservative douche. - TWuG Oct 30, 12:10 5
    - OK. Go to your friend's page, and on the right hand side there should be a 'Friends' drop down menu - Roger More Oct 30, 12:15 4
      - This is what I'm saying. Those options are no longer there for me. - TWuG Oct 30, 12:23 3
        
        I'm looking at those menus on my FB right now. I don't understand why it's not on yours. -- nm - Roger More Oct 30, 12:24 2
        
        Then I guess I get to be first with the crappy new Facebook this time. -- nm - TWuG Oct 30, 12:28 1
        
        Lucky you! *blocks all stupid friends while still has the chance* -- nm - Roger More Oct 30, 12:29
  - you used to be able to be really selective - you could block Status, Game updates, photos, etc. By item or by importance level. -- nm - Andie Oct 30, 12:09 11
    - You still can. Follow Mop's advice above, and click settings in the drop-down. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 30, 12:10 10
      - oooh, that is very very close to what it was before (just way more annoying to get to.) -- nm - Andie Oct 30, 12:14 9
        
        Can you find a "settings" menu option? Because I don't have one under the Friends menu or Gear menu of a person's Profile page. - TWuG Oct 30, 12:20 8
        
        Do you not have a 'Show in News Feed' option below "Get Notifications"? If that's not checked, it doesn't display the settings option. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 30, 12:24 3
        
        Nope. No longer have a "Show In News Feed" option. -- nm - TWuG Oct 30, 12:32 2
        
        Did you run over Zuckerberg's dog? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 30, 12:38 1
        
        Not yet. -- nm - TWuG Oct 30, 12:48
        
        on a particular friend's page, on their cover photo, are two buttons Friends and Message - Andie Oct 30, 12:23 3
        
        Okay, except "Settings" does not exist under "Friends" for me anymore. - TWuG Oct 30, 12:25 2
        
        You are hitting the Friends button on the cover photo right? not the other one beside Photos? -- nm - Andie Oct 30, 12:29 1
        
        Yep. I'm hitting the one directly to the right of the person's name. -- nm - TWuG Oct 30, 12:31
  - "...well, this is awkward..." -- nm - Reagen Oct 30, 12:07
i can't get it to show options though. it used to be you could select various levels you could set different people at. - Andie Oct 30, 12:02 1
- Yep. That's completely gone for me. -- nm - TWuG Oct 30, 12:03
