Merry

Your daughter really should show you as it's easier to do it visually.

The home page is the main one, your newsfeed. I only look at the one with my name on if I want to find something specific.
Newsfeed is where you see stuff your friends have posted. You will get ads too but anything you don't want to see can be removed by clicking on the tiny grey arrow at the top right of the post.
The look of FB is different on a mobile or tablet app to how it is on a computer. I mostly use the app.
It might be easier to show you what buttons do what via email as I can do screen grabs. I'll do that later this evening.

The symbols at the top in the blue bar are 2 people is for incoming friends requests. The 2 speech bubbles are private messages where only you and the person you message can read it. Anything written anywhere else on a persons page will be read by all of their friends.
As for finding the FMP FB page, use the search bar at the top. You use that when searching for anyone's page person or group.

Are you accessing FB on a phone or tablet or on a computer? Screen grabs will slightly different.
As for the chat section, you can turn it off. I have mine turned off. I find it annoying if I'm doing something or reading something and someone who is bored just wants to chat about nothing in particular. If I want to contact someone I use the message system

Thanks Marg and Toni.... I will have to read your replies more slowly later.

I might try again with my dau later as she has a streaming cold so won't have the energy to be cross.

*goes for a lie down*

At the moment I'm accessing FB on my (extremely slow) notebook sized laptop. I have looked at it on the desktop computer where it looks the same. Tried on my phone but decided that definitely wasn't for me! lol

Laptop and PC versions will be the same. I prefer the app on my phone and iPad

I will leave it a few days before having another go at them!! lol

I've just sent them another email about 1616A 006.

I could correct all the entries myself now, but don't see why I should and anyway, they are supposed to have been "looking into it" since 17 Nov and I wouldn't want to upset their progress!

haha at their progress. They are probably waiting on you to do it

Merry · #**128** 04-03-16, 08:03

I think the issue runs over several pages - no idea how many. In each case the names are from a different piece number but all the rest of the details are from the right pages.

I think they should put you on the payroll as a consultant, Merry, and they already owe you a whole lot of back wages.

I think they see me as a problem creator, not a problem solver!
