CatholicMom Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I sent someone a "message" on facebook thinking it was Facebook's version of a PM that they would be notified of when they check FB. The message was a very important one that I want to make sure they get. Will they be notified of the message and almost certainly read it? And a message is private, right?? As in only they and I can see it? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan C. Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 If you post on their wall, then it will be seen. If you made a person to person message (it opens a small box), then it is private. Usually you will get a little red number in the middle icon (on the old format), but there have been times that I don't get that and have to look at the "messages" and see if there is a number by it. I was waiting for a friend to answer, and she did, but I never got the little red box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueinNC Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Your recipient may also get an email version too if he/she has it set to receiving email notifications if pm sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatholicMom Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 ok, phew. I definitely didn't put it on her wall. I'm certain I sent her a message. And when I click on her name it on the right it brings up like a little IM conversation, it seems. That's what confused me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiddenJewel Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Your recipient may also get an email version too if he/she has it set to receiving email notifications if pm sent. It rarely sends notifications for new messages anymore. Things got wacky when they merged the PM and chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiddenJewel Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 One thing I do with FB is if I send someone a message and do not hear back is to post on the person's wall that I sent a message. That way if a notification was not sent it won't be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwesternMom Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The other thing to consider is that some people don't check FB very often. So, it may be that she just hasn't seen it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
