I have that back now on FB - it went for a while.

My current annoyance is figuring out why people are seeing posts I make to groups that they are not in (and vice versa) - but not ALL such things. I get musical things but not (e.g.)ice hockey or morris minors.

Damn Zuckenberg - I'm perfectly sure the entire way Facebook works, the driver of Facebook's whole philosophy, is because, when he was younger, he got left out of what people were doing, they didn't tell him or invite him and he is on a mission to 'fix' this for everybody else.
