Facebook fan page help

[Former_Member]

Does anyone know how to make the fan page wall posts show in most recent order? If I look at my fan page in "admin view" or on my iPhone it shows in most recent order, but if I'm looking at it like anyone else on a computer the wall posts are in a random order....

do you see at the top of the page you can choose Top News or Most Recent? The default is top news- I always switch it. But you have to do it every time.

I receive messages from members of this team, they said they " liked" my fan page, and I can see it on their page but I can't see them under my " people like this".

If someone likes you as their fan page then the "like" won't count towards your overall total. You have to like someone as your personal page for it to "count"

@SunnyLee - I see that at the top of the News Feed page but when I'm looking at my wall on my fan page the posts are never in most recent order...

Thanks BirdsBeadsTX, you save me 2 times today!!!

Actually, I have same problem with you, I just checked mine.

Oh, sorry! I just realized I have that problem too. Facebook! (shaking fist)

If I send a like I see that it gets registered on friend´s wall with my personal profile name and picture, but I want to send the one on my fanpage so I can get likes and friends and be able to register my fanpage address as facebook.com/Fiesta... so do I have to have 25 likes or friends on my personal profile and after that, do I have to ask them to like me again as a fan or can I import those contacts (likes) from my personal account and keep the 2 FB pages (personal and fan/business) separate.
Do I make any sense...

Fiesta- your personal page (where you have friends and info about yourself) and your fan page (where you have "likes" vs friends) aren't really connected. You can have hundreds of friends on your personal page and no likes on your fan page. FB requires that your fan page has at least 25 likes (or fans) before you can customize your URL. A great way to get more people is to use the "suggest to friends" option on your fan page. After you click on that link, you'll get a window where you can select your friends (those who have friended you on your personal page) and write a message to them suggesting that they like or fan your fan page. Does that help answer your question?

Also, you'd have to ask your friends (possibly using the "suggest to friends option") to like your page individually. You can't import likes. A stranger can like your page. You don't have to be friends with someone on your personal page for them to like your fan page.

BirdsBeadsTX, Facebook is now promoting the posts to your page that have the most comments and likes. I thought this could be changed, but don't see where to do that.

Oooh.... that's makes sense! Thanks zehland! As long as I've been on FB (since it was only open to college students), their new updates always throw me for a loop...

[FiestaKidsBoutique]

Ok I think I got it. From my fanpage I go to suggest to friends (I think I did that already???) and ask them to like my fanpage and send the link that has my "business" name on it, not my first and last names, right?
This one:

why is it so long? Most people only have the FB.com/BusinessName

[Former_Member]

You are correct Fiesta. To make your lilnk shorter you first need to have at least 25 fans. FB makes you meet that minimum before it'll allow you to update your URL
