Computer FaceBook Question
Jun 16, 2015 21:13:40 #
Is anyone on the UHH really familiar with FaceBook? I mean really with the technical aspects of debugging it and ones page.
I've seen this happen before. Today I added some pictures and text on my Wall but what everyone else sees, including from my wife's account on a different PC in another room is how my page looked a week ago! People can't see what I tell them to take a look at. What is with the strange time delay and how do you control it?
FB is so slipshot and with undocumented features it is virtually impossible for an adult to understand. And the idiots running it keep making changes with out notifying anyone. OK, rant over.
It can be fun at times and an interesting way to find or "meet" people. But these weirdities keep it from being a place for serious activities. On the other hand, the UHH updates a page instantaneously. Help!

Any idea about the page update delay. I've been using FB for more than 5 years! Not a newbie.

Beats me, sometimes I'll post something and it doesn't show up on my wall but rather on my profile page ....yet I do nothing different and don't mess with the settings.....just check and make sure the proper (share with) settings are what you want ...is all I can say......and wait......maybe delete all pictures except one ....to see if that makes a difference ?!

It shows fine on my page, it is that others can't see it. I checked settings, still nothing. Anyone else actually know, still open for help!

I'm not sure how it works, but I think it has something to do with the way that the other people signed into FB, and whether they checked the "KEEP ME SIGNED IN option." What to do? I have no clue.

That is possible. I'll try signing off my wife's account and back on and see it that "updates" her view of my page to look the same. Thanks.

I made a remark simply to show that there are some who are not interested. Many times I have personally observed needless discord between family members/friends over trivial postings.
I really need to purchase or "do" something and share or like it on facebook.
Probably too old and out of touch,but somehow still manage to communicate with those that I want to be part of my life. :-)

Nope, that did not help. Everyone else seem to see my page as it was on June 8, 2015. I even retired Sharing each image. Now I have three copies of each on my Wall but none are viewable to others.

I agree much of Social Media is silly BS, I'm 60 y/o. But...
I did not post the OP for a discussion of the merits of FaceBook, I'm looking for help for a specific strange problem.

I'm with you Mike. Got on FB to share photos with family and a few friends (now couple hundred) and had to delete a few because of what they were saying. What I dislike most is the people that just have to share someone's page.
My answer was to set up my own photography web page. Now I control everything. George
