Comments on: Invite People To Your Facebook Event http://socialmediadiyworkshop.com/2010/02/invite-people-to-your-facebook-event/ The online workshop to help small business learn to use social media Thu, 17 May 2012 17:08:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Charlene Kingston http://socialmediadiyworkshop.com/2010/02/invite-people-to-your-facebook-event/comment-page-1/#comment-32745 Charlene Kingston Thu, 17 May 2012 17:08:46 +0000 http://laughingcrowpress.com/socialmediadiy/wordpress/?p=71#comment-32745 Dan, I'm sorry I can't help you. Facebook recently made major changes to how events work, and I have not created enough events to have them figured out now. The help center is frequently out of date, so no surprise that it isn't helpful. I know people love Facebook events, but if you really want a full event management system, try another online tool like Eventbrite. Dan, I’m sorry I can’t help you.

I have not used the updated events enough to be able to answer your question. Facebook recently made major changes to events.

Is that still possible as I don't see an icon to send out reminders to guests.

I'm not sure about the Share link and how it works now. The Facebook Help Center is out of date. You can post your event link on your page wall (like any other link you post on your wall/timeline). This way, it gets into the newsfeed for some of the people who like your page. (Recent research shows that perhaps only 16% of the people who like your page see any one wall post!) I'd also recommend pinning the event so it stays on the top of your wall/timeline. I wish I had a better answer for you, but I'm still trying to figure things out.

It is shown in their news feed? If not, what good is the Share link? Thank you.

I'm assuming that you created the event from your profile and not a business page. There are more features and options for people than businesses. I've been through the Facebook help, and I can't see a clear answer. The challenge is the nature of public events. You can block that person from the event. Here's the page inside the Events FAQ that are helpful (https://www.facebook.com/help/search/?q=block+from+event) Here's how to block a person (https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=201663299874847#How-do-I-block-a-person-from-an-event?) and here's the impact of blocking a person (https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=149341781803149#What-happens-when-I-block-a-person-from-an-event?) Give this a try. And do let me know what you discover. That’s a great question. I’m assuming that you created the event from your profile and not a business page.

I created an event and it was open to the public. Friends invited their friends and so on and so forth. However, there is one person who keeps commenting negative comments on the event wall... and I was wondering how to block JUST that person from viewing or writing on the wall. I'm not even friends with this person. Will blocking them from my FB account do the trick? Or is there more I can do? Thank you! hey Charlene! I created an event and it was open to the public.

Pages don't have the message option, so that icon is missing. Only people have the message option. Have you heard the big announcement yesterday from Facebook? All business pages will convert to the timeline format on 30 March. Stay tuned for more details. The blank message space is always blank when you use Facebook as your page.

On a similar note now when using the business page for fb I have no a message option up on the top left where before I only saw new likes added and the timline with a space in between. Now in that space is a msg column but obvioulsy its empty at present. Is this just for fans to msg me or have Fb plans for the page to msg Fans or do you know anything about it. FB help centre is a s useful as ever. Thanks.
