I’ve broken Facebook … ever since I invited multiple people to an event my status updates have become invisible to everyone. I thought everyone was ignoring me (sob). I presume Fb thinks I was spamming. It’s been over two weeks now, is there any way to fix this?
That happened to me once. Do you ever log out?
I did and it turned out I had been hacked and the person deleted my account.
Thing is, you can delete your account but un delete it any time you want by reactivating it. So if that happened to you my suggestion is this: Don’t log out. Go to the page where you delete your Facebook. Check to see if it was deleted and reactivate it if you can.
If that’s not what it is, though, I suppose you could log out and try logging back in. You might not be able to, though.
I seriously doubt it was FB that made you invisible. They tend to disable your account and when the admins do it, it logs you out AUTOMATICALLY (and then you’re not able to log back in again at all…if you try, it gives you the message your account is disabled)
So my guess would be hacked and FB deleted while you’re still logged in.
I still have my account, I can see and comment on other people’s statuses, send and receive messages, chat and so on but apparently no one is seeing my statuses. I have checked by asking a close friend if he can see them – he can’t – and by posting a test status asking people to like it if they see it – no takers.
Edited to add I have logged out and in again.
Weird. Well, here’s my next suggestions then. Try going up to the drop down arrow in the upper, right hand corner (next to “Help”). Select “Privacy Options”.
First off, check to see what you have set for “Control Your Default Privacy”. You might have had it on custom so that it weeds out some friends, but not others…but check to see if you don’t have it set to “Only Me” by clicking on it and looking at the permissions. If you don’t use the custom option, though, you might want to put it entirely on “Friends”.
Secondly, click on “How you Connect” settings (below the Control Your Default Privacy section) and make sure the last two are set to Friends (the “Who can post on your timeline?” and the “Who can see posts by others on your timeline?”)(Unless you want to customize them so only specific people or groups see them).
Thanks Idle Thoughts, all my settings are fine – I checked them before and just checked them again.
Anyone know how to contact FB directly, as in to get a real person? I already reported this and only got a form reply.
Bump now the weekend is over.
Sorry, I only ever get form replies as well.
But here’s another bump for you in hopes you’ll get your help.
Ok, in the ‘update status’ box, if you click on the little lock or gear-shaped or people-shaped icon next to the ‘post’ button, you don’t have something odd chosen in that menu like ‘only me’?
