Is that the question Budgie? :-D

Hiya Island sweetie, don't ya just love Facebook no silly anonymous RR`s.
My sons half brother put a little piccie on our wall this morning posing a question.
:-D
I wonder if you could answer it?

Now I've twigged! Looking at Sylvias post on p1 - you need to click on 'unfollow'.

So glad I am not on Facebook It sounds frightfully complicated :-D <3

where's the 'clear as mud' button :-S :-D

'Seen by' doesn't appear in the groups that I use, maybe it's disabled.

Thanks anyway

I'd like a "Like" button as well
:-D

:-(

Wheres the 'Like' button Persie :-D

So Island my love..

I have posted a thread and mentioned someone expecting that someone to say something... but that someone has not seen the thread... but quelle horrreur FB tells me they have..

So I think what a snot so and so is when that person is not at all because her/she/pluto the dog has not seen it at all but has been on that page since I posted the thread.

It could lead to misunderstanding by another in your group very easily.

Persie in defective detective mode.

Or as the French Policeman would say Up the crick without a piddle. ;-)

Island ...............

This is from a closed group that I am in ....................



That doesn't happen very often

When someone starts a new thread in your closed group underneath the post...before any replies it should say 'seen by (number)'

Curiouser........I belong to a closed group but don't see any other name at the top of threads other than the thread creator.
I'm intrigued now.

Closed and private work the same, except you can search for a closed group but not a private one

I should say secret group rather than private group

Wow thank you everyone I've learned a lot and it is in plain English, I just can't always understand what they mean on FB.
I think I she has unblocked me hoping I will friend her but it ain't going to happen.
Thanks again.

Jax, so does a 'private group' work diferently to a 'closed group'?

Ok

On private group pages at the top of each thread it tells you who has seen it

If there is 20 in the group it could say seen by all or 15 people have seen it then it will list those people.

What we have now discovered is it will say you have seen a certain thread just because you visited the page....when you may not have read the thread at all

Jax, thanks but I meant this bit " at the top of every other thread that you have not looked at all it will give your name as having seen it... all because you have been on the page."

Persie ................


thank you for unblocking me!! :-D :-D


even though I was asleep when you did it, and knew nothing about it :-D


that raises memories of Friends reunited between about 2004 and 2007 ....................... the had full time Moderators who used to give out bans if anyone reported a post.

The ban could be anything from 1 minute up to permanent

:-D :-D :-D


it was quite fun to have been on there posting away ............ then open your email to discover that you had 3 or 4 1 minute bans in that time!

I think what Persie is saying is that she has been called Persie on her private group pages and her own wall....even though she goes by her real name on FB.

I am happy to be called Jax on private groups and my own wall...but would rather be referred to as my real name on public pages like GR ect.

As a person who has been blocked recently I can vouch for what Sylvia and Persie have said

edit - If you are then unblocked then anything you were unable to see while being blocked is now visible

I was unblocked but not friended by the person

Persie, I'm puzzled by what you say about ones name being given on group threads.
I belong to a couple of groups but haven't noticed any name other than the thread author at the top. Not doubting, just curious :-)
