Question from Dennis J.: Hi Rick. I have a quick question about Facebook and I’m hoping you can answer it for me.
Is there any way to keep my Facebook friends from being notified when I add a new friend? Some of them get jealous when I add certain people.
If you can tell me how to prevent the new friend notifications from being sent out I’ll appreciate it more than you know.

Question from Elaine: Hi Rick. I’m hoping you can help me.
I joined your Rick’s Tech Tips group on Facebook a couple of months ago to make sure I didn’t miss any of your posts.
I just found out however that I’m not being notified every time you publish a new post (and I want to be!).
How can I fix this so I can see all of your posts?

Question from Angie L.: I’m trying to find a specific photo of a family member that I liked on Facebook a couple of years back.
The problem is I can’t remember who posted the photo so I don’t know whose photos to look through.
I have lots of family members on Facebook so it would probably take forever to find it.
Do you know of a way to list all the pictures I’ve ever liked in one group so I can look through them and find that one photo that I’m looking for?

Question from Gabrielle H.: I have a question about Facebook that I’m hoping you can can answer for me.
Whenever I post something on my Facebook page and people share that post, Facebook lists all the people that have shared it.
I always try to thank every person individually for sharing my posts, but to do that I have to go to each person’s Timeline and scroll through it until I find the post of mine they shared.
That’s very time-consuming because some of those people put up a lot of posts!
I don’t have this problem when people share things from my personal Timeline, just when they share something from my page’s Timeline.
Is there any way to go directly to a shared Facebook post without having to scroll through the person’s Timeline to find it?

Question from Kailey.: I need help, Rick.
Someone I don’t even know sent me a message on Facebook. He said he has my IP address and he’ll use it to get me into trouble if I don’t agree to accept his friend request.
I don’t know this man and I don’t want to become his friend. What kind of trouble can he cause for me if he really does know my IP address?
