Need to Make some FB Posts (of mine) Shareable

8 years ago

Hi - I have a lost pet and have posted to several group FB sites (not on my own page). People are saying that it's not shareable but I cannot figure out how to make those posts sharable. There are several ways to do so shown on the web, but they refer to so many different versions of FB (back to 2011, for example) that my head's swimming and nothing seems to work.

I figured my FB-smart friend here would be able to tell me what to do. I've been to Settings, Privacy, and all of that but it just doesn't seem to work.

Thanks in advance, and please send thoughts or prayers that our little girl (now lost for 2 days) will get home. We're sick about it.

When you share it will show you that you are sharing with friends, pull up the drop down menu and public should show up. Select public and anyone can share then. Don’t forget to change it back the next time you post something.

Go to your post. Next to the date, there's a little icon that looks like people's heads. There should be an arrow to the right of that. Select the arrow. You should see information with "Who can see this?" below.....select Public and the post will be visible by everyone....and shareable.

Some new plants of mine

No one likes my new Papaya, boo hoo..j/k. I know, it looks like a stick, lol. Kyle, thanks. I hope it's not a Xanado. 3 or 4 summers ago, I got into succulents...ended up giving a friend 20-something Philos. One was a 15-yr-old Xanado. After giving them away, I felt bad. I really missed a couple variegated Split-leafs. A seller on Ebay have a gold Xanado for sale..it was nice, but I passed it up..Golden foliage. Kyle, you probably over-watered your Crown of Thorns. They're so pretty, especially Thai types..'large flowers.' I only wish they were hardy enough to live outside year round. Susan, thanks..What color is the Neon Xanado? Sounds pretty. Maybe I can find one on Google. Pug, thanks. Your Steph is so nice and full. Have you ever tried untangling? Good luck. lol. I 'attempted' untangling its never-ending vine..lol..I ended cutting a good amount off. BTW, I bought a variegated Steph from Accents a while back.l.it's in a 4" pot, but already putting out growth. I was debating whether or not to pot both Stephs together. What do you think??? Wish warmer days come. Plants want to go out for summer. I probably won't take as many plants that normally go out, but a good amount will. 2 wks ago, it was in the 90's. Then last wkend, temps dropped, big time. Some nights were in the 40's..a couple nights 38F. 38 is too cold for some plants. 40's iffy, 50 is better. Let's hope for spring, Toni

Thanks Ingrid :) I have some other rose beds- but did not photograph those. I would worry about "the Mrs" in your climate- if mine has managed to get this big without any sheltering, I can only imagine what it can do at your house !! I have quite a bit of lawn that could easily be turned into more rose beds, but I can hardly keep up with what i have - maybe when I retire! I will be sure to post more pictures in the days following when the roses really begin to bloom, Marleah

Elmer out of curiosity, I took another look at your original post. This is the original and first sentence: The source of this message is who or what? Now I can't speak for anyone else here, but that does not clearly state that it is foolish to rely on sources such as FB for information. It's actually a question, not a statement. The rest of the original post consists of this: I'm sure the companies sending these guys out to work long shifts for such critical work in devastated areas are giving high priority to covering their food and water needs. This statement has nothing to do with FB posts and whether or not they are reliable sources of information. What it does do is make a statement about something that many here (some of whom have just survived harrowing experiences with Hurricanes Harvey and Irma) are experiencing first hand. Many of the resulting comments seemed to be in response to that second sentence and some of them objected to or rejected your comment as inaccurate. It was later that you left a second post that clarified your position on FB posts, but by then the horse was out of the barn and people were more focused on the issue of helping utility workers and other responders by offering them food and drink. Had your first comment been more clear in regards to FB, I think you very well would have seen different responses from many of the people who posted. I also think it's a good idea to keep in mind that this is a hot button for people who are just barely getting by themselves after these two horrendous storms and perfectly understandable why they feel so strongly about the issue. It is also rather dismissive to imply that people who are dealing with the aftermath of these two storms don't know what they are talking about when they witness daily the actions of utility workers, police, first responders and volunteers. Having said all that, I am done with this thread. There is no point in my making any further statements as I have said what I have to say and I don't wish to argue or make this anymore unpleasant that it's already become. Kathy had the best of intentions by starting this thread and I'm pretty sure that she did not expect to see it deteriorate into what it has now become.

aktillery, thank you so much! I take that as a true compliment, especially considering how much I love your style for the same reasons. I love the table so much--it's actually more beautiful in person. And because it's a little higher, you can pull stools/ottomans up and sit around it. That seems to happen a lot when we have a group here. Thanks again for your kind words.

I actually didn't put it on my own page (therefore I'm not sharing it with my Friends). I went directly to the local-oriented FB sites and posted on those. Someone told me that I have to put it on my own page and make it public. So I've done that. I just didn't intend/want it to be shown to everyone, just to those in the area/town that might see her.

Actually you want it to be able to share and be seen by as many people as possible. You can always delete your facebook post after you find her.

Don't forget Nextdoor and go to all the vets and pet stores with a flyer with her picture. Take those flyers and put them in a clear plastic sleeve with the closed part to the top. Seal the bottom with clear packing tape. Post them on all light poles and stop signs around your area with the clear tape or duct tape.

Go out early in the morning and late at night with a flashlight and look for eye shine. Put some of your dirty clothes in the yard and by the door.

Be sure to check any pounds or rescues in person. Good luck and I'm thinking of you.

Thanks, Sherry. Yes, we have about 25-30 laminated flyers posted around (we have a mini-laminator) and have put them also in 3 area vets' offices. I also put flyers in the mailboxes of about 40 area "neighbors". A "rail trail" (for biking, walking) goes behind our house and I've posted the flyers at all entrances/exits of that. I'm going to do more today.

I also posted on Nextdoor on Tuesday night. Good idea to go to pet stores; I'll do that today, too. On the night she was lost (she must've gotten out around 9:30 PM and we didn't realize it until about 11:30 PM - arghhhh) we went out until about 2:30 AM and searched and called. Both nights I slept in a chair by the door with the door open.

Last night we set an alarm at 2:00 AM and went out for about an hour. Nothing. We're heartsick.

To make it worse (if it can be), we have a collar on her (just in case) with our ID and a bell (it's a breakaway collar). I took it off her on Tuesday night to comb her and neglected to put it back on. Surely beating myself up for that.
