NEW YORK (AP) — WHOOPS THEY DID IT AGAIN: In yet another change that upset users, Facebook Inc. has replaced the email addresses that users display on their profile pages with (at)facebook.com addresses. CH-CH-CHANGES: Users who are bothered by the change can reset their profiles. Facebook didn't delete the previously displayed addresses, it just changed which one users can see. JUST DO IT: Debra Aho Williamson, an analyst at research firm eMarketer, says the move is "emblematic of Facebook's mode of operation. Take action and apologize later."

FILE- In this Thursday, July 16, 2009, file photo, a Facebook user logs into their account in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. In yet another change that irked users, Facebook has replaced the email address you picked to display on your profile page when you signed up for the online social network with an (at)facebook.com address. Previously, users may have had a yahoo.com or gmail.com address displayed, so that if people wanted to contact them outside of Facebook, they could. Sending an email to a Facebook.com address will land the email in the messages section of your Facebook profile. (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Sean Kilpatrick)
