Facebook query..

Anybody know why I wouldn't be able to see happy birthday posts on dh Facebook wall? Before I get hounded, I am not a possessive wife it just seems odd to me that I can see all other friends posts but not his... I can see things that he has posted but not what others have..

Because the person posting it either isn't your friend and has their FB set so someone has to be friends with them to see if.

Or the person blocked you or at least blocked you from seeing the post.

He’s muted you or whatever it is on fb,I can post thing or has it on only me

marqueses · 28/03/2022 10:56

How do you know the posts are there if you can't see them? I don't quite understand, is it your dh's birthday?

Maybe he ahs blocked you seeing posts made to him?

can you search facebook without being logged in?? I know on Twitter you used to be able to do this.
If someone had blocked you then you could search and never find them if you were searching while logged in, but pull up twitter in an incognito window and you could search and find them.

I tried to look incognito but it won't let me look without signing in. I got a friend to have a peek and she can't see anything either so it must be his settings. How very strange. Thanks so very much for your replies!

Maybe no one posted?

You can see everything else, your friend can't see them. You say its just seems odd.

What do you think has gone on?

youwouldthink · 28/03/2022 11:19

Has he got you set as an acquaintance so you can only see what is on public?

marqueses · 28/03/2022 11:21

I still don't understand, if you can't see any posts and your friend can't see any posts why do you think they are there? It's not very likely that he has blocked you and a random one of your friends is it?

Has he shown you the posts from his account?

JustFrustrated · 28/03/2022 11:23

You know the wall function changed?

Generally you can't see your own birthday posts unless you got a specific location. They're all bunched together unlike, well I think last year..I've turned the function off entirely.

Why are you so fussed?

Googlecanthelpme · 28/03/2022 11:23

In the settings of Facebook under Posts it has options of who can view posts on your timeline
The options are

Everyone
Friends of friends
Friends
Only me
Limited profile

So it’s most likely that either no one has posted on his page or he has postings limited to just him.

Sorry my post doesn't make such sense 🤣 he posted to say 'thankyou for all my birthday messages' that is what peaked my interest. I asked last year too as it was the same and he said he had no idea..

OP posts:

Teaforme123 · 28/03/2022 11:26

How do you know he has any birthday messages? Maybe no one posted anything.

blitzkoff · 28/03/2022 11:26

He has it set to "only me " meaning friends can post but only he can see what is posted , maybe he's done this by accident

So what did he say when you said, I didn't see any birthday messages?

Teaforme123 · 28/03/2022 11:28

Have people sent him private messages instead of posting on his wall maybe.

Turning purple he said he doesn't know why.. I'm just curious is all. Appreciate all the replies, thank you!

There's a setting in FB so that you can 'vet' any messages before they hit your timeline. Until you approve them then only you can see them. That might be why.

Hiddenvoice · 28/03/2022 18:15

I have my Facebook set up that people can post on my profile but I have to approve them for it to be seen by others. I still get notifications that people have posted so I can thank them with a post of my own.
I’ve set it up due to my job and not wanting people to post or tag me in anything inappropriate.

Malibu19880 · 29/03/2022 14:32

He’s hidden his wall.
There’s a setting “who can see what others post on your profile”

He may have set this to “only me” which means only he can see it…or he could have chosen to hide the posts from certain people… i.e. you (not to make you paranoid but making you aware it is a possibility. You could ask someone who also has him as a friend if they can see his wall postings. If they can’t, then you know he has hidden from all. If they can…then you know he has specifically hidden them from you…

Thewindwhispers · 29/03/2022 14:37

Facebook is weird about what tou can see. Every day it denies me access to random posts in groups. Wait ten min and try again and it gives me access. Don’t read too much into it.

Op can see the rest of his wall.

She can't see only birthday postings from this year and last. But can everything inbetween.
