What does "view photos of XXXXX (#)" really mean

[CornellWeasel]

Just wondering how accurate the photo numbers really are, and what they include. The number of pictures that's listed on target's facebook is 9, but when I see their pictures, target has  4 albums plus the default picture album, but not 9 pictures alone (in the "photos of [target]" area where tagged pictures usually appear), or even 9 photos and albums combined.

Anyone know?

i had the same problem with my target. i think that some pictures may be set to friends only or "me" only kinda like ms. jason will know for sure!!

the photo numbers include both private and non-private photos the person was tagged in.  The problem is, if they have a friend who has privacy settings that will not allow you to view their photos, the actual number of photos will vary to what you can actually see.  In other words, my profile, I'm tagged in 32 photos (I hate cameras), but, unless you're friends with my cousin, you can only view 18 of them.  Test this by making three fake profiles.  One which has photos private and friends with only 1 of them.  The one that doesn't have private photos, make it viewable to the third profile.  When you click on photos, none will show up (remember to tag the 'viewable' profile in photos of the private one).  It's kind of cool, in a geeky/nerdy kind of way.  With that said, whatever you can view, grab every .jpg filename.  We may be able to come up with a way to find access to all the photos, as the jpg is based off the subject, nothing more.

Tootie and Jason,

Thanks for the reply. I thought that was the case. So that mean's I'm missing out on some potentially juicy photos. Darn! :p Oh well. Maybe we (meaning, you Jason LOL ) will discover some code to allow us to view those hidden photos.

I've saved all viewable photo IDs, etc. Hope some code comes our way at some point soon.
