Facebook Shutting Down Pet Accounts - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

yorkietalkjilly · 10-01-2013, 12:02 PM

How do you get a notice they are shutting you down? Do all your photos and posts just disappear? I currently have about 99 posts of some kind waiting to be read - I think they are from follows or something - but have gotten no email or anything from them. I hope one of those 99 waiting posts aren't one of the notices.

I never got an email, but can't find Momo's page...how do I find it so I can change it to a like page? I have the hardest time navigating FB, don't go there bc of it. So many things going on & so confusing, once you're on there, it takes the whole dang day to get off loll!

It's so confusing to me, I usually just stay off of it. But when I link on anyone's FB page, my FB name and Home & other icons are up in the right top of the FB window and I can link to it from there so far, even though I do just apparently have a pet account. I can no longer get to my FB page from a Google search as before but can link to it from other's FB pages, even those I'm not friends or anything with due to my FB pet name up in the right hand corner. But I guess my account will be gone soon, too.

Is Momo the only FB account you have ?
What is the profile name ?
Maybe I can help..

I know that some people did not even get a notice they just deleted them..
There is a way to back up your info .
I will see if I can find the link someone posted..

I still have it so far. But you think even when it's gone, I can get my pix/posts and friends to go on my pet fan page?

It may be different for different accounts but I have a couple of friends that lost everything without notice..
It is so sad..

I've never had Momo's personal page but I'm glad I'm able to click on TopLinePet. I can still go shopping while surfing Facebook!

When I logged into my account which was under Max's name, a message popped up that said I was trying to promote a business. All of my pictures and timeline were erased, but I had the opportunity to convert the page to a blog.

Shame - I guess old Mark Zuckerberg was not going to make enough profit on our pet pages and after all, it's all about the money so that's that. I hope a new, better, similar but more popular site opens up and just shuts him down. And if they made it somehow where the pix and things were easy to transfer and the site was user-friendlier and easy to navigate, it would be really great. I know that's prob. not possible, but I can wish.

After Bill Gates and Microsoft making me miserable last week after a Windows Update changed everything - working trying to get my Word Starter 2010 files to open for half a day(still can't create a New Document as I used to) or else buy the Microsoft Office program which I don't need, I'm sick of these filthy rich guys trying to get still more $ when they have so much they have to give it away by the millions to keep from being taxed.

You know they likely could have tweaked their software so that they could have made an exception for the marketing, ads and various uses they make of our accounts for money. They frequently make me so angry with their very arbitrary changes and dictums and hope they have a very viable rival sometime soon - one that allows for those of us who just want to share pet stuff so that we, too, can enjoy the social media networking experience in our own way.
