Export of dives to _Facebook_ is handled differently from other types of export. This is because
export to _Facebook_ needs a connection to _Facebook_, requiring a _Facebook_ userID and password.
If, from the Main Menu, one selects _File -> Preferences -> Facebook_, a login screen is presented
-(see image *A* to the left, below). Ensure that there is not another active _Facebook_ session
-using an Internet browser outside of _Subsurface_. Provide a _Facebook_ userID and password.

Once successful login to _Facebook_ has been achieved, the panel
in image *B*, below is presented. This panel has a button that needs to be selected in order to close the
_Facebook_ connection.

-stage and transfer more dive profiles to _Facebook_ without first having to log into _Facebook_. Keeping the

Having established a login to _Facebook_, transfer of a dive profile to one's _Facebook_ timeline is easy.

_Facebook_ icon, and a dialogue is shown, determining the amount of additional information transferred
with the dive profile (see image *B*, below). In order to transfer a dive profile to _Facebook_, the name of a
_Facebook_ album needs to be provided. The checkboxes on the lefthand side allow one to determine how much
additional information should be transferred with the dive profile. This information is shown in the text box
-on the right hand side of the panel (see image *B*, below). Having specified the additional information, select

the _OK_ button which triggers the transfer to _Facebook_. After a while, an acknowledgement dialogue appears,
indicating successful transfer to _Facebook_.
+Both the Album created and the post to your time line will be marked as

+this was the better solution to avoid having unwanted posts in your public
+timeline.
