RicksDailyTips Newsletter for July 1, 2017 – 9 of my favorite tips for using Facebook

Posted on July 1, 2017

Hello again. I hope you had a great week!

Facebook has risen from its humble beginnings in Mark Zuckerberg’s college dorm room to become one of the most powerful and most-used entities on the Internet.

For example, did you know that Facebook now has over 2 billion registered users? That’s an astounding number considering there are only about 7.5  billion people living on the entire planet!

Even more astounding to me is how the folks at Facebook keep the site up and running as smoothly as they do given the mind-boggling number of people who are actively using the site at any moment in time.  [Read more…]

Scam alert: Don’t fall for the ‘he is a kidnapper’ hoax on Facebook

Posted on April 18, 2017

Well, yet another scam is making the rounds on Facebook right now, and it seems to be spreading fast. I know, you’re probably shocked (not)!

Q&A: How can I disable Facebook notifications in Opera Mini?

Posted on February 28, 2017

Question from Beth J.:  I’ve been using the Opera Mini browser on my Android phone for a long time and I only started having this problem a few days ago.

Now every time one of my friends comments on a Facebook post of mine or sends me a message a notification from Facebook pops up on my phone. It even does it when I don’t have Facebook loaded!

I prefer to keep my Facebook activities discreet and I don’t want these notifications popping up. Can you tell me how to turn them off?

Q&A: Why is Facebook posting my status updates with such huge text?

Posted on February 5, 2017

Question from Janna:  I’ve noticed that many of the status updates appearing in my Facebook newsfeed are now being printed in huge, ugly bold letters.

And unfortunately, my own status updates are being printed the same way.

Several of my friends have even messaged me and asked me why I’m shouting at them!

I hate this large text and I’m not doing anything (that I’m aware of) to make the text size bigger.

My question is why is this happening and how can I make my posts be displayed with the normal text size?
