Q&A: How can I stop my ex from logging into my Facebook account and posting stuff in my name?

Posted on

Question from Brenda T.:  I have a very serious problem, Rick.

Someone keeps logging into my Facebook account and posting really nasty stuff on my Timeline and pretending that it’s me.

I have no proof, but I think it’s my ex. We parted on nasty terms.

I’ve changed my password several times but they always manage to get back in somehow and post more nasty things on my Timeline.

I know it’s not a virus because I ran all the scans listed in your virus removal post and no infections were found.

I’ve already lost several friends because of this. How can I stop it once and for all?

When is the best time of the day for posting a tweet on Twitter?

Posted on

twitter-logoIf you could only post one tweet per day, when would be the best time to do it?

I’ve seen this question asked over and over on various social media forums, and as you might expect there sees to be no uniform answer.

Some people prefer to tweet in mid-morning, others at night. In other words, this isn’t a good question to ask in a forum if you want an accurate answer.

Well, thanks to a fairly comprehensive body of research, we don’t really have to guess about when is the best time to post a single daily tweet.  [Read more…]

Q&A: How can I hide the retweets from someone I follow on Twitter but keep receiving their own tweets?

Posted on

Question from Melanie W.:  I have a question about Twitter that I hope you can answer for me.

I’m following a woman who’s a news anchor on my local TV station.

I really love her tweets because they’re always interesting and informative, but she retweets like crazy and most of the things she retweets don’t interest me at all.

I know I could unfollow her but then I wouldn’t be able to see the tweets she posts.

Is there a way to keep following this person and see the tweets she posts herself but not see any of her retweets?

Q&A: Why did my blog start showing the old versions of posts I’ve updated after installing CloudFlare?

Posted on

Question from Elise:  I’m hoping you can help me fix a problem I’m having with my WordPress blog.

My blog pages started loading real slowly a few weeks ago and I read somewhere online that installing CloudFlare on it would speed it up.

Well, I installed CloudFlare and sure enough the pages immediately started loading a LOT faster. Needless to say, I was delighted!

But then I noticed a problem. Whenever I update a post it shows the updated version when I view it on my computer, but it shows the old version (the way it was before I updated it) when I view it on my phone.

I called several friends of mine and asked them if they were seeing the new versions of the posts (I told them what the changes were so they’d know what to look for). Every one of them are seeing the old versions of my updated posts.

I’m the only person that’s seeing the updates, and that’s only when I’m looking at the posts on my computer. I still see the older versions when I use my phone.

Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?
