Help - How to stop Facebook news feeds?

Question

I have a sensitive problem that needs fixing. I have an Ex who I am polite friends with and we still have each other as friends on Facebook. I am happy to keep him along with many others on my friend list, but the LAST THING I want is to have to see periodic photo updates on MY home page of his new girlfriend. He's probably just posting it for everyone, but it really bothers me that's it's there on my news feed. How can I stop from getting photo "updates" of someone else?

Answer 1

Click on the "Preferences" link under your news feed on the home page after you log in.  From here, you can learn "less about these friends" and alter your other news feed settings.  

Answer 2

Click the ignore button
