Despite doing research, I am confused about when other people’s posts and shares do and do not show on my Page’s Timeline. I don’t mean comments to posts I have made, but new posts by other people.

I receive two types of email notifications about these posts:

Subject line: X shared a link on (Page Name’s) timeline

Subject line: X posted on (Page’s)) Wall

Just this morning I received two emails, one of each kind. The post showed up on my Page’s Timeline in the “recent posts by other on (Page)” box, in the notifications panel in the upper left corner, and in the Activity Log. The share did not show up anywhere. Both the post and the share were put up by people who Like the Page. I have my permissions set to “everyone can post.”

@bamacrobie @andrea-vahl Have either of you noticed if it says “sponsored” underneath the pictures? Perhaps this is a feature of the Sponsored Post option. I do believe there is a way to turn this off under your Account settings.

FB programmers are just convinced that everything they do is right. so the gal who had the first idea probably had a good idea. then that good idea was twisted and deformed until something was spat out and we have to live with it.
