Anytime I add a new friend or comment on anything of on a friends page it posts a story about this. Is there a way to stop it posting stories about this anymore? You used to be able to prevent it.

Hello, welcome to the forum!

Here is the response facebook is giving out regarding this issue.
Hi,

Thanks for writing in to us regarding our updated privacy settings. We apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced with wall and news feed privacy. Whether we display a story on your profile is now controlled by the privacy of the content itself. For example, only people who can see both your Wall, and the Wall to which you posted would be able to see a story about you writing on a friend’s Wall. If you want to remove a particular story that currently shows up, simply click the “Remove” button that appears to the right of the story after you move your mouse over it.

Actually, no, that doesn't help in the least. If I wanted a generic and insulting answer that proved that nobody was paying any attention to the actual question, I would have emailed them myself. I came here to get a real answer.
Removing stories after the fact doesn't keep them out of friends news feeds either. I would like to be able to add new friends and comment on other peoples photos and walls etc without everyone being made aware.
Does anyone know if it's possible at all anymore?

Hello,

First of all, he didn't give you an insulting answer. And it's not possible to do what you're asking for. If you go to Settings --> Privacy Settings --> Profile, you can read this message.

Information about Recent Activity
Whether we display a story on your profile is now controlled by the privacy of the content itself, rather than an additional setting. For example, only people who can see both your Wall, and the Wall to which you posted would be able to see a story about you writing on a friend’s Wall. You cannot completely turn off recent activity stories anymore. However, if you want to remove a particular story that currently shows up, simply click the “Remove” button that appears to the right of the story after you move your mouse over it.

Regards
