I'm bringing up this old thread because either MyTona or FB made changes last April that affect the way we remove FB friends from our FL on SN. I posted the changes on my blog, but I wanted to add them here as well since many people won't know that the blog was edited. Here is what I added to the blog:

''Note: Either FB or MyTona made changes that require additional steps to remove FB friends from your SN FL. I have added those changes at the bottom. If you try the original steps and see "REQUIRED" which prevents you from removing your FB friends, then use the additional steps I have added at the bottom.''

 New Steps: What to do if you see "REQUIRED" 

Either FB or MyTona changed things, making it even more difficult to remove our FB friends from our SN FL. However, there is still a way to do it. I'm hoping that this is only a glitch that will eventually be fixed. Meanwhile, here are the instructions. Sorry, no pictures this time. Let me know if anything is unclear.

These instructions start with you disconnected from FB on SN. The parts in light colored italics  are the same as before. The parts in normal color are what's new.
 * 1) Disconnect your SN game from FB.  ← this is very important! None of these steps will work if you do not disconnect from FB before starting.
 * 2) Go to FB (website or app) and select: Settings → Apps and Websites → Logged in with Facebook. 
 * 3) Look for Seekers Notes in the Active list.  Tap on the empty circle just to the left of it. It should turn blue with a checkmark inside.
 * 4) Tap on the REMOVE button that appears on the upper right corner of the active apps.
 * 5) On the next screen, tap on that REMOVE button.
 * 6) Wait a few seconds (it's not always instantaneous), and then you should get a screen confirming that SN was removed with a DONE button. You can select that button or not, it doesn't matter.
 * 7) Now go to SN and connect to FB. 
 * 8) You'll see a FB screen that has "Edit This" which is very similar to the old screen. Select EDIT THIS. 
 * 9) Now you can deselect Friends list. 
 * 10) Tap on the big blue Continue... button.  
 * 11) Proceed as normal. 

It is important to understand that you will NOT lose anything by removing SN from FB. The SN inventory you have saved to FB is not deleted. All it does is remove the FB permissions for SN. The next time you connect to FB on SN, it will automatically reinstate those permissions (the "Edit This" screen). I have done this many times without any problems.

Unfortunately, you must repeat these steps each and every time you have disconnected FB from your SN game and then want to reconnect FB. There is no Part A or Part B anymore. You must always repeat these New Steps. I continue to hope this is a glitch that will be fixed in the future, but until Mytona or FB changes it back, we are stuck having to repeat these steps every time.
