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?

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

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.

Same message showing whilst both my wife and I playing angry birds this morning!

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. :mad:

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

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

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Yes I do Chris, and clearing the browser cache seems to have solved the problem, many thanks for that. :):):):):):):):):)

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

On a PC you can use Face Book Purity to sort out FB.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

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.....

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

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

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

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. :)

To do this, press CTRL + F5

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

It's happening again, help! I've completed the answer but the it is not being accepted.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

See post #10

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

I have already installed Facebook Purity, but I can't bear reading through reams and reams to find out what to do.:(


It was working perfectly this morning, I have cleared the cache BTW.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

I can't think of anything on FB Purity that would stop you being able to complete stop you adding your DOB. Are you trying to join a FB group?

add--- I have just been on to gaming site and it seems that there are several people having problems, including a couple of people who are having the same problem trying to enter their date of birth.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Weird or what, it's disappeared again!? No wait it's come back again!!!!!

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

:D I'd have given up by now. My 'go to' time filler is now Solitaire, can't be doing with all the stress of getting involved with Facebook games. :D

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

I gave up on Facebook long ago.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

:D: I am still on Facebook. FB Purity cuts out all the crappy bits and I just choose the private groups where I am still a member very carefully.

Can't be doing with all the keyboard experts, so many sprang up spouting 'evidence' from public platforms and forums trying to prove their ridiculous beliefs around every subject that touched on Covid.

:sigh: My circle of virtual friends seems to have been culled drastically over the last 18 months.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

I hope you still count me as being one of them still with you Jo :)

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Of course you still a friend sweetie :) seems ages since we first met here on CF xx

I have to admit some of the members have surprised me by their attitude and I have "'avoided'" :D reading their posts to keep my blood pressure from hitting the roof but in the main most CFers have avoided the extremes I have encountered at other places on the internet.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Most people can guess who that horrible person is you're referring too! :D

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Unfortunately Jo some of who I call/called my favourite posters over the past 15 years on here, have either passed away or not longer participate on CF, I do miss them, not least for their wealth of knowledge in solving my seemingly endless concerns/problems. What would I do/have done without them? The reason I keep coming back is because I totally rely on their ceaseless willingness to reassure/ help without seeking praise/thanks, bless them, they know who they are.:clap:

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Totally agree, though I have kept in touch with few who no longer visit CF. :)

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Yes, I think everyone feels exactly the same on that matter.

Another vote here for FB Purity :tu:

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Problem solved for anyone who is receiving the same message. Fill in a date of birth( must be older than 13) then highlight the day and press enter, the continue button then turns green, press that and you are in. :):):):):):):):)

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Can someone please give me a link to download Facebook purity, I keep getting this message?

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Which browser are you using?

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Hi Tinky this is the current message we are being given on the FBP options page that you will be shown once you have managed to link FBP to FB. If Tafs link doesn't work try the link in my link and see how you get on. Putting up decorations at the moment but I will keep checking up to see if it works. fingers crossed


Add// I had to swap and I can't fault Ublock it has even stopped some problems I was have on other sites

https://www.facebook.com/fluffbustingpurity

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Thats the correct site, the download page is on the same site : https://www.fbpurity.com/install.htm

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Many thanks everyone Purity now successfully installed, now to work out what is what. :)

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

It is useful to backup the original settings for FBP, them make new backups as you do your tweaking.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Very true ,thanks to all the members that offer help when i post what seems to them a very stupid question

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Here I go again, I have successfully downloaded Facebook Purity but now have a new annoying message. I am not off line when it appears and my Browser is Firefox help!

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

This may not be related to FBP. I have hadit happen my Chromebook when I just stay on a site without any interaction and Facebook was one of those sites. In my case it was a setting that put my chromebook to sleep when it regarded that it was idle for more than 10 minutes. Maybe you have a similar setting in Windows ?

Probably I'm wrong and just scrolling for ages would still keep your laptop awake, it maybe just mine being a tad empathic as face book can sometimes put me to sleep as well. :D

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Thanks for that Jo. It appears when I first log on to Pet rescue or Candy Crush. Looks like I am just going to have to put up with it. :rolleyes:

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

Thats not a facebook message as such, it looks like your wireless telling you its offline (or thinks it is) for some reason.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

The symbol is for a wifi connection, so maybe that is the problem?

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

It seems to be Facebook as it happens on my android phone too. It's the only thing it does it on.

Re: Annoying message on Facebook
 

I was clearing a lot of friends names from FB that are no longer with us. The next thing happened FB blocked me. How long will this block last does anyone know. I complained to Fb,
