How to prevent Facebook from changing your newsfeed from ‘Most Recent’ to ‘Top Stories’

Posted on December 20, 2018

Facebook is a wonderful service that makes it easy to keep in touch with family and friends, but as we all know, using it can be an exercise in frustration at times.

One of the biggest frustrations for many Facebook users is how the newsfeed keeps getting switched from “Most Recent” to “Top Stories”.

Q&A: How can I disable the ‘Memories’ (i.e. old posts) that pop up on Facebook?

Posted on November 6, 2018

Questions from Ellen H.:  Hi Rick. I need your help with something on Facebook.

Can tell me how to disable the “Memories” posts that pop up in my newsfeed every day? I don’t like them.

Was your Facebook account compromised by the recent big hack? Find out right now.

Posted on October 16, 2018

By now you’re probably aware of the recent massive Facebook hack. After all, it’s been all over the news these past few days.

At last count this hack has resulted in at least 30 million users having at least some of their personal info stolen.

Unfortunately, the total number of users affected by the hack is still unknown, but Facebook is still investigating the breach so hopefully they’ll get it all sorted out before too long.
