A little Facebook tech help??

When I click on Facebook notifications, it goes to a comment a friend makes - like normal.

BUut, when I respond to that comment, click, it posts. But when I try to leave that page, I keeps telling me "I haven't posted" and won't leave and go back to home page unless I power down PC and relaunch FB - can't figure out why it sticks on the page every time. Never did it until today.

I've rebooted twice, same issue? Any advice? Thx M44

    Social interaction. The same thing you get here. Only a few billion people like it though. If you have to ask, I doubt you'll ever be on it.

    And, it's a whole lot easier to post pictures than this 1990's place.

    Log into your FB account and go to "Settings -> Manage Account -> Deactivate". To keep from getting e-mail on services like this I usually put in a bogus e-mail address. As long as they don't try to verify the address and it matches the pattern of "xxx@yyy.zzz" it will pass their tests and then they can deal with the bounced e-mail they send to that address.


    thanks, it was a little convoluted getting there but I think it worked.

    Facebook has been giving me grief too. Often I can't see more than the two most recent posts and can't access messages or notifications.It keeps buffering. If it weren't for an interesting group I would just close the account and forget about it.

    You're also the primary TARGET for ads, spam and countless postings from your friends who may be more interested in politics, sports, dogs. weed, recipes, etc, etc, etc than you are. When unfollow doesn't work, unfriend may.

    First, you don't need to reboot. Just killing your web browser will be enough.

    Second, when you type in your response are you finishing up with a Carriage Return? If not then your comments aren't posted, they're still in edit mode. You can tell the difference because when you enter something it isn't tagged with your name at the start. This gets added when your response is posted, i.e. after you've hit the Carriage Return.
