Annoying message on Facebook
As of today I have been plagued by a really annoying repetitive message on Facebook. I have tried logging off and on, and also trying to stop notifications but so far no joy, what am I doing wrong?

It's not you, it's the person who posted the link.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
Happens a lot on community pages where people try to share stuff from their mates, but the original post wasn’t set for public viewing; or, where the original post was changed from public to private, or has been removed.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
Actually I got it a couple of times right after I posted here. Must have been a Facebook bug.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
I can't get rid of it, I selected to play this as normal through Bookmarks, so don't have a clue whom posted original link. would it help to uninstall my Facebook account and start afresh, or can someone please suggest some other method to remove it? It's driving me nuts.

Do you usually access Facebook by a web browser? If so, clearing the browser cache and cookies might help.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
On a PC you can use Face Book Purity to sort out FB.

Never heard of that before Taf, but thanks, I will bear that in mind should any further problems arise with Facebook.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
Face Book Purity can strip all that you don't want or need from the screen.
Mine is minimalist to the extreme.....

Why wait for future problems? Why not just use it now?

Hi Tinky, my FB is not quite as minimalist as Taff's .... yet but I'm getting there.
I have been using Face Book Purity (FBP) for years, it provides a great way to cut out all the annoying bits and pieces that get in the way of just being able to see the posts of people you actually want to connect with and don't want to have to wade through lots of drivel about stuff that you aren't interested in.
If you do decide to try it I am sure one of us will be able to give you a hand if you need it. There is nothing you could do that can't be undone by just unticking a box.
