Ecclecticmum Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Because its starting to drive me insane. Like this: Kerry Anderson > House of Ideas I worked with the fabric last night, it was amazing!!! 29 People Like this View 24 more comments Alison Novel * 24 minutes ago Jean Anderson Did you try the fabric? 25 minutes ago Jorge Frederick * 26 Minutes ago Ben Sanchez * 26 Minutes ago Lily Warrer * 27 Minutes ago And so on, what does the asterisk denote? There's liking which puts it in your feed, so theres no reason to add a comment of starring to like something or add it to your newsfeed. I have to scroll through a heap of these to find actual comments, its rather annoying. It looks like a lazy way of agreeing or something. Please tell me what it means before I go coo-coo! Thanks!

Hikin' Mama Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'm not sure, but I assumed the person was marking it so if someone else commented, they would get a notification. But I've wondered the same thing as you have. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busymama7 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 It is a way to follow the conversation and get notifications when someone else answers it. Just liking it won't do that. You can follow a post from a pc but not on mobile so people reading in their phone will do it. I know its annoying. Doesn't stop me from doing it though :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecclecticmum Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Thank you! Understandable, if still annoying. I had been trying to google everywhere and nothing about it was coming up. It was like a weird secret handshake everybody was doing :p If I didn't get humougously annoyed over fb on phones, I would probably use my phone too. Unfortunately, I have never figured out how to view posts others have made on a page, it only shows the owners posts, so I gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to load a FB app - just logging into your account via the browser gives a mixed up or incomplete view. But I don't use FB on my phone; that's just what I've been told.

milovany Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The above isn't the case on my phone. I don't use an app for FB, just go to the website and log in. I can see everything although it's more compact and arranged a big differently. I have a Nokia phone with Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
