I'm having a problem where I want to block facebook, but when I list it on the "never allow " these sites part, and leave the "always allow" area blank, it denies access to all sorts of other sites. Is there any way I can block a site without enabling "block all adult content" sites? I don't want them watching adult content, but it's keeping them from accessing gmail and google docs which they need for school.

What's happened is you've allowed the page but the page where the CSS (The code that tells the page how to load) is still blocked. If you find where that is and allow it, the entire page/site will work.

Usually this doesn't happen, but Facebook must put this somewhere else than on their standard servers.

I set up web-site restrictions for my daughter. Facebook was a site I approved and included in the list of sites she was allowed to access. But now when she tries to access facebook it's this funky format. It's words only down the left side of the page. Wierd. She hates it, can't really use it so now she has NO RESTRICTIONS while on the web. That makes me crazy nervous. I hate it. HELP!!

What is it about Apple that does not seem to like parental controls. My McAfee software used to work but has been rendered inoperative by the "upgrade" to Lion. Since Lion doesn't really improve functionality (in fact it reduced it until I learned how to turn off the stupid "hot corners" , I wish I'd never moved from Snow Leopard.
