That is very interesting thank you Barry. Now if I go on to my home page on fb will I then be able to turn on tht e-mail alert box that you are talking about. How do I do that? In other words where on the page will I look for that?

Hi EleanorIf you work through the headings until you get to a friend who has posted amessage, you arrow down and will find a button labelled *like*. This will let the friend know that you like their message without you bothering to send them a message, but it also keeps you informed of any other messages that are sent in reply to that message if you have your FB account set to send email alerts or text message alerts for messages. In addition, as Ianhas pointed out, it allows you to post a comment to the message on the fullFB site, although you don't have to do this step with the mobile site.

Ian's suggestion of clicking on *Like* does work. In fact, I can *like* then *unlike* and the comment box stays. Still, I'd prefer to just hit the comment link to comment like I can on the mobile site. Pro's and con's for each.

What is the point in people writing up on Facebook and having Comment links and people not able to comment? Surely they are writing up on a public noticeboard so to speak. If they only want their friends comnenting why not just confine their Facebook to those people and exclude Jo public. -original message- Subject: [access-uk] Re: Face Book Questions From: "Iain Lackie" <ilackie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 26/08/2010 9:43 amIf you look carefully at the facebook page section where the statuses are, You will see a "like" link. It will always pay dividends to examine a pageon any site you visit.

Got to agree that navigating the messages is easier as each person is at a separate heading. However, I can't comment on a message unless it's already been commented on. What am I doing wrong?

I find Facebook such a darn faff that I only ever use the mobile site m.facebook.com - it's a cut down version of the site and isn't full of the lag and confusion of the main site. Honestly, I really wouldn't bother with it unless you've got some usable site and enjoy apps and photos. Perhaps we should start by asking you what you want to get out of Facebook. If it's just finding out what your pals are up to, then there's no need to use facebook.com itself.I wonder how many people here actually use the main Facebook site. It'sso full of dynamic stuff that doesn't cause page refreshes, that it makes jaws incredibly heavy, sluggish and unresponsive. ...Damon -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: 25 August 2010 17:07 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Face Book Questions 1. Is there anyone using Face Book who would be prepared on answer my questions on or off list? 2. While I can navagate a page on Facebook, this does not give me a mental map of the page and possible other standard pages on Facebook. Is this something someone can help with or is it just a matter of me working it out for myself?3. I was given a link to someone's page on Facebook and clicking on thelink, took me there. I tabbed round and got an idea what was on the page. There were certain things said and then below that there was a link to Comment. I clicked on the link but nothing seemed to happen. Ithen began tabbing around the page again to see what was going on and I realized the screen had changed and I think I was being asked to Login,finding the edit boxes for this, or actually it was my password, I hadto put it, I was then put back in the origional page of Facebook. thenI looked for the subject being spoken of and the Comment link below itbut now the Comment link had disappeared. Obviously now that I had gotin with my password, things had changed but this was where I was getting unstuck. 4. Say someone can tell me what to do to comment, how then do I go about seeing the reply to what I said on the person's page. the reply might come from the person or anyone else that the person has allowed to write on their page. I'mhappy for responses off list.
