Title: Our Facebook Page and Group
Post by: Legion on December 03, 2010, 07:04:10 PM
Nearly 200 members (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heroes-and-Villains/129445223749711) but is it possible to change the URL from http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heroes-and-Villains/129445223749711 to something a little more memorable?

If you're the administrator. Go to www.facebook.com/username and it'll give you a list of pages you look after (ie your own and H&V) there's a box where you type in what you'd like, it's available, it's yours.

BOOM!

Brilliant. Thanks. I'll do it later today when I've sobered up.

Any suggestions?

handv was initially available and I applied it to Heroes and Villains (2 listed in the profile) which was unfortunately the little-used 'Community' page I set up. I've just deleted this page because it is never used. Will handv become available again?

Last night some inappropriate messages were sent from this account due to a laptop being left logged on and accessible by others. If you received one I would like to apologise profusely for my oversight. It will not happen again.

I think if you go to a page you have "liked" then "hover" over the "Liked" button on the page you will get an option to "Receive updates" which you can tick.

I've added a "Call-to-action" sign-up button with a link to the main board. It would be appreciated if someone could check the functionality and provide feedback.
Title: Re: Our Facebook page
Post by: Legion on February 16, 2015, 06:56:40 PM
Dave, I can also change it to one saying Shop now with a link to the Exact Editions site hosting the fanzine. Or Heroes Publishing. Just let me know.
Title: Re: Our Facebook page
Post by: Legion on February 16, 2015, 06:58:19 PM
Or "Contact Us".

Sorry Legion, cannot see the "Call to action" button.
Title: Re: Our Facebook page
Post by: Broughty-Villian on February 16, 2015, 07:25:17 PM
ok its the sign up button takes you straight to the Home page of this site. Sorry
Title: Re: Our Facebook page
Post by: Legion on February 16, 2015, 07:26:46 PM
It is termed a "Call-to-action" button by FB and can have one of many titles. It is currently set as "Sign Up".

YAY! It works.
Title: Re: Our Facebook page
Post by: Legion on February 16, 2015, 07:30:31 PM
Perhaps it might be better for it to redirect straight to the Join Here link.
Title: Re: Our Facebook page
Post by: Broughty-Villian on February 16, 2015, 07:38:08 PM
not sure it will make a difference. the sign in button is 2 clicks away isn't. hard to see as im logged in.

Just logged out and pressed it

The 'register' button is right there at the end, so I would leave it as is.

Latest posts on the page are not showing for me after adding them. Dave's article, Brentford highlights, the deliberate stamp and Bruce's interview.

Just copped for a 24 hour FB ban which applies to everything I am linked to so our Page and linked Group will have no updates (from me) until around 4pm tomorrow.

For some reason no posts from our FB Page have gone through to Twitter since the end of April. All settings show they are linked. If anyone could help with this issue it would be appreciated. FB Purity is installed on a laptop but the vast majority of posts are made with a mobile device.

Heya Leeg,

Without knowing too much about the specific set up, I'd suggest maybe unlinking Twitter from the platform that auto-posts for you and try to re-add it. If nothing else it might lead you down the path of why it's not working. I'm suspecting a password change on twitter or something similar that has  broken the link.

Happy to help if I can mate :)
Title: Re: Our Facebook Page and Group
Post by: Legion on August 23, 2019, 12:03:00 PM
Thanks. I'll try that.
Title: Re: Our Facebook Page and Group
Post by: Legion on August 23, 2019, 12:05:47 PM
I love you. How simple was that? Unlinked and relinked. Worked perfectly. Thank you SO much.

Post by: Nelly on August 23, 2019, 01:22:42 PM
Ah fantastic! I'm really glad to hear it. Btw, thank you for all the hard work you've been doing on this. I know it's not easy and does take a lot of time. If ever I can help with anything like this please feel free to lean on :)

H&V FB Page posts are no longer getting added automatically to my Twitter feed. Last one was at the end of January. Any idea why as the /twitter page on FB is no longer there and the app settings for both platforms do not seem to provide any options to recreate a link. Thanks in advance.
