Question

I can copy to my clipboard, but how do I paste something on my Facebook page?

Community Answer

Once you've copied something onto your clipboard, go into the status posting space (at the top of your Facebook feed), right-click, and select "Paste." That will paste the content into your status to share with your friends.

Question

Can I share a post I was tagged in? Hitting "share" didn't work.

Community Answer

No, you can't share such posts because they'll show up in your timeline anyway.

Question

Someone keeps deleting their nasty post on Facebook and then reposting it to keep it at the top. Facebook isn't interested in removing it. What can I do about this?

Community Answer

"Unfollow" that person. They will still be in your friends list, but you will not see any of their posts.

Question

Why can't I add a message to the posts that I share? When I click on share, it re-posts without giving me the option to add a message.

Community Answer

Click on where it says "share." It should give three options, "share now," "write post" or "send as message." Click on "write post" and then you can comment on it before you share.

Question

My sharing options are set to friends and their friends only. If I wanted to share one post publicly, how would I do that?

Community Answer

When you click share, there is a blue button at the bottom of the share window that says "Friends." Click on that and it will give you the option of sharing it publicly.
