Indeed. I hate companies that don't have human support. But it is also the only way I can contact a bunch of our kids and grandkids.
I found out my grandson Caleb had 11 vids of him play bass, did not know he was into bass at all, he lives about 50 miles away.
My daughter Heather living in Brazil, I just found out she could not get scholarship for her Phd in music at Trinity in Dublin but now is going to pursue it in Brazil.
And news like that. She for instance has an email account from her old school, Wesleyan but she doesn't read it much, too busy with students and getting a proposal for her Phd work, writing some piece of music passing muster for the next level past her Ma she has now.
I also found her hubby, a physicist teaching at the same university she does, that another physicist was interested in some work I did on gravitational lensing and there might be a paper written on what I found so may be actually published.
I would have been in the dark on all of that if it hadn't been for my basically chance browsing of FB.
At one point I was chatting with my music mentor Yigal, my daughter, her son Avi, my grandson Calem on 4 chat windows at the same time. It all rushed together in a huge volume of family news I would not have found out about any other way.
So there are uses for FB, but basically it still SUCKS. Without a human to contact about the issues I had, I don't know if my being told to send my DL to them was scam or not. I saw community help lines suggesting FB DOES do that.
Don't know what to think about that.

Win 10 laptop, hp. But I had the same issue on the last DT that kicked the bucket which is why I have this laptop. Seems to be a slightly better computer anyway. I don't like the touchpad, have to disable the dam thing every time we close the lid and the touchpad blocker I downloaded had issues too so I just erase the stupid thing if the little light is off. Bu ...[text shortened]... g, I hit next and it pops up with 'invalid link'. That is a stupid FB pet trick problem not my comp.
HP laptops are known to have touchpad issues with Facebook password recognition. I have one myself.

You need to disable the touch pad in the computer settings, then reboot your laptop using a plug-in mouse. NOT an optical mouse as this will cause Facebook to think you have touchpad!

Then clear your cookies/internet history and delete Facebook from your browser shortcuts bar (if you have it saved there) and then reboot your laptop one more time. Then try logging back into Facebook using the password reset function.

If this doesn’t work there area few other things you can try but try this first.

Yeah, I noticed. That's why I'm not on it.

Problem is, that everyone and their grandma is on it. Screw 'em, send me an email.

I don't need my 15 minutes of "Notice me, notice ME!!"
What is it that sucks about it?

Surely your profile and timeline is only populated by people you have “friended”...

Not only do that......I know a couple that were going to be away for 2 weeks and one of them put the date they were going and the date they were getting back. When they got back from their trip the house was bare. Police figure it was someone who knew them and was on their facebook list. Hell even said where they lived, now that is one of the dumbest things I've heard of people doing on FB, unless of course they were looking to collect the insurance money? Never know what people are up to these days. TRUST NO ONE!!!

This seems unnecessarily hostile towards someone that actually tried to help you. Why are you so angry Bro?

We seem to be getting a lot of hostile people lately, turning into an epidemic.

I will not say anthing about the liars as that would really rock the ship! 😉

It's not my thing. I don't need to KUWTK.

And oh, yeah, narcissism is for losers.

Maybe you should seek help if you think you have a problem.

Perhaps have less “Kardashians” as friends and utilise the platform as a family and proper friends forum which it’s supposed to be?

I find Facebook very useful but I keep my connections there to a minimum.
