Justin- Just curious, do you have any idea why it shows 5 fans; but I can only see 2 of them (myself and Lynn)? I was wanting to see my other friends from here and add them to my facebook friends (if they will have me that is!) Is that some kind of privacy setting of theirs? Or a facebook error? (seems like facebook is having alot of issues lately, I know I have had issues and keep reading on my friends' status updates that they are having them too)

Yes, I see 4 of 6 fans. When I click to see them all, I still see 4: myself, Lynn in Dallas, Kathy (Kbear), and a Roberto from Croatia. Why are we not seeing the other 2? Inquiring minds, aren't we?!![]()

I can see 6 out of 7 fans. Can't see CindyLou. Maybe you'll appear in a day or two as I had similar problems of only seeing 1 or 2 pics over the last few days.
