How To Download Facebook Status

[Tyler Bannowsky]

Ihave created a simple Facebook Page. Because it is about past events, I backdated each status update to correct date. All was fine, when I was adding (and backdating) events for past year (2013). Once I started to enter status updates for current year, they're all gone. I can't see them (or any for 2014) on my timeline.

I can add as many status update as I want, when they're are posted with no date change (current date) or when I backdate them to year 2013. Whenever I post something (I can see it!) and then make its date to any date in 2014, except today -- post update vanishes.

Hi! I'm trying to publish my Facebook shop, but the status has been "Inactive" for about a week now, says it's in review.. Is this normal? How long does the review process normally take? The strange thing is, on the Overview page of the sales channels I see "Active" next to my Facebook shop.

I am still waiting, it doesn't work. I believe the problem might be something connected to how facebook imports the product information for the shop. So I will play a little with that. In your case I would also just try a different browser, maybe that will help.

Im having the same issue! My Facebook & instagram shop was approved but when I customized the shop, it went inactive with zero issues showing. Here is a screenshot. Im curious to know if anyone found any solutions, has the timeframe changed or should I just wait weeks???

Thanks for trying to help! I fixed it but removing the option to checkout on Facebook/Instagram and only allowing checkout through my website. I'm not sure if that will help everyone but it changed my status back to active immediately

I've been playing around with trying to block Facebook posting but allow all other access to Facebook. I setup a deny rule for the 'facebook-posting' app and then setup a rule below it allowing 'facebook' but, this doesn't seem to stop posting. The logs don't show any traffic for 'facebook-posting' so wondered whether this will only work with SSL Decryption configured or if I've setup the rules incorrectly?

Yes, this needs SSL decryption. Without SSL decryption your choices are to completely allow/deny all Facebook functions. With decryption enabled, you can choose a separate action for each Facebook function.

Here's my thing about Facebook: no matter what Mark Zuckerberg or their CFO or pop culture might tell us, it's a game. It's entertainment. Because it's social, for many it appears to be more than this, but it really doesn't need to be any more than you make it.

Your second concern, that he won't want to, is a little beyond my ken. I can't think of a single logical reason I could give, if I was dating someone (as in, they were my girlfriend), for not wanting to change my status. Maybe if my family was very religious, and a change in status would require explanations, I could see it. But still: really?

I say give the guy a chance to explain himself and to change it. If Mr. Insular can't change his stupid status for you, even if it's just because you want him to, maybe he needs to alter his priorities.

When I launch Facebook then tap on the hamburger icon in the top Rh corner then tap on settings and privacy, and then settings and scroll down to active status it allows me to turn this off and holds that setting.

Psychologists at Brunel University London surveyed Facebook users to examine the personality traits and motives that influence the topics they choose to write about in their status updates -- something that few previous studies have explored.

The data was collected from 555 Facebook users who completed online surveys measuring the 'Big Five' personality traits -- extroversion, neuroticism, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness -- as well as self-esteem and narcissism.

Psychology lecturer Dr Tara Marshall, from Brunel University London, said: "It might come as little surprise that Facebook status updates reflect people's personality traits. However, it is important to understand why people write about certain topics on Facebook because their updates may be differentially rewarded with 'likes' and comments. People who receive more likes and comments tend to experience the benefits of social inclusion, whereas those who receive none feel ostracised.

"Although our results suggest that narcissists' bragging pays off because they receive more likes and comments to their status updates, it could be that their Facebook friends politely offer support while secretly disliking such egotistical displays. Greater awareness of how one's status updates might be perceived by friends could help people to avoid topics that annoy more than they entertain."

The research team said further studies should examine responses to particular status update topics, the likeability of those who update about them, and whether certain topics put people at greater risk of being unfriended.

Dear Vague Facebook Status Poster,

I'm writing to you today because you keep leaving vague status updates on Facebook. I can only imagine you are doing it so others will ask you for details. Details that you never seem to give, even when asked.

I need you to stop. I need you to stop for you. For me. For everyone.

Have you ever heard of the term "cry for help?" That's what you're doing. You're crying for help. And you're doing it in a way that has been identified and mocked time and time again.

I need to make something clear, because it might not be clear to you. A "cry for help" is not a positive thing. I mean, it does bring some attention, but I'm guessing you prefer the kind of attention where people think good things about you. If that's the case, the cry for help isn't taking you anywhere you want to go.

When you leave a status update that says, "I never thought I would be this angry!" you imagine that people are audibly responding at home, "GASP! What could possibly be going on!" You hope they will comment on the post "what happened girl?!" which will only prompt you to leave more vague comments in response, like, "oh, certain people. I'm so frustrated."

I'm on to you. I know your moves.

And I want you to imagine having that conversation in real life. I want you to imagine every one of your Facebook interactions directly translated into face-to-face conversations.

You run into Jenny at the mall. You say to her, "The best day ever!"

Jenny responds, "Super! What's happening girlfriend?"

You give her a smiley face. On your face. Which means, you just smile. And maybe wink a little.

Jenny smiles back and says, "You totes deserve it!"

And then you walk away.

Lacking? Yes.

But what's more, that same conversation on Facebook isn't just with Jenny. It's broadcast to Jenny, and your mom, and Tom, and Alex, and hundreds and maybe thousands of other people, all at exactly the same time.

And yeah, maybe Jenny thinks you totes deserve that best day ever. But the other 743 people who see your similarly vague status updates multiple times a day are all doing a cost/benefit analysis about dropping you as a friend on Facebook. Most of them compromise with simply removing you from their feed, which you won't have any way of knowing about. This results in way less attention than you would have gotten without leaving the vague status update in the first place.

I'm here, writing you this letter, your own PSA, to tell you that this is not what you really want. This behavior makes you look unstable. And not the cutsie let's hang out with that person because she takes adorbs pictures of herself wearing a vintage outfit that matches the food she's eating while sitting in a fountain in a major city kind of unstable, which I think is what you're going for. It's more like the she draws on her jeans kind of unstable. Which is a type nobody should be going for.

Don't feel too bad. I actually like you. That's why I added you on Facebook in the first place. Or maybe I accepted your request. Who can remember?

I want to know why it's the best day ever. Or why you are so angry. Or why you left the club crying. Or why you're so done with everything. When you leave these vague status updates, all you're saying to me is, "I have news that is extreme and that you would want to know but I'm not going to tell you what it is."

I tried to have a vague-off with you recently to see if you would get frustrated enough to see the error of your ways. You won. Which means everyone lost.

Your Status Update: I just don't even know why I try anymore. :(

My comment: Yeah girl! They just won't listen to me. :(

Your comment: Can't bother with it. That's all.

My comment: I think I'm finally just going to do it once and for all!

Your comment: Me too. We'll see if it works . . .

First of all, I hope I didn't just talk you into killing someone. Or doing something worse, like watching Glee. But second, what the crap were you talking about? And why wouldn't you ask me what the crap I was talking about?

A new rule to consider: If you don't want people to know the details about something that happened to you, don't mention the emotion or the conclusion that the details prompted in the first place.

I don't know if this is a problem you can fix. Maybe it isn't. But it's been going on for years and I felt like it was finally time to say something.

And until you do fix this, I'm going to assume you meant to add the following words to the end of every vague status update you post: "and that's why I keep wetting the bed."

For example:

"I should have known better . . . and that's why I keep wetting the bed."

"You burned me once. Never again. And that's why I keep wetting the bed."

"What's the point in trying when nobody appreciates my work? That's why I keep wetting the bed."

I will then leave you comments about techniques to help you deal with the problem. Like, "K-mart has plastic sheet covers on sale for $9.99. Good luck!"

Please change.

Sincerely,

A Friend Who Just Wants To Help

P.S. I do like the passive-aggressive status updates so keep those ones up, if you don't mind.
