Hi Gordon, this is a while back…

But due to a facebook event in honor of a friend passing I will still say something about your comment. You said something which is very important and finally ended my search for the reason my post seemed to have "disappeared" from that event – and other posts, too.
At first I was SO upset, that I thought the person who created the event might have deleted my post – due to the fact that I had renounced my position as admin on a peer-support-page (had an argument with pageowner). And this was the page where I met my friend who died yesterday morning.
So – it is not a glitch but – as missunderstandings easily happen when posts "disappear" – in my opinion it is a stupid feature that facebook needs to change.
And I will complain to them.

And thankyou very much for posting this as it cleared up a great big missunderstanding
kind regards
Catherine

The new version no longer shows a list of past events, so people can't look in one place to see what kind of things our organization has done. Why did they take this off? Now the only way to see past events is to search down through all the wall posts. This is a big problem for us!

a big drawback to the new version of the events page is you can no longer access all past wall posts. in such an event where attendees are bringing a food item for potluck, no one can scroll back to see what is already being covered. its now one page, and that can be covered over quickly with most attendees missing any wall posted updates. perhaps a glich.

Wonderful to see great improvements on facebook, with all the new streaming, tagging, grouping, and events now showing up. Wow, I will take advantage. Another great thing for us to tell our folowers, tribes, teams, groups and fans. LoL, Social loco.

The problem is you can no longer readily see the media associated with the event. You have to manually click "See All Photos", "See All Videos", or "See All Links" which now appear below the list of RSVPs (whereas it used to be above). I know FB Groups sort of went the same way, but at least they added prominent tabs at the TOP of the page instead of tiny text links that anyone can now overlook.

But when are they going to let a Facebook Fan Page RSVP to an event? As a business who has a page on Facebook, we participate in events that are promoted on Facebook, but currently we can't say that we are attending an event as "Our Company" is has to be as our personal profile, very frustrating!

This is fabulous news – very welcome. Being an event admin has been the solution for one client – but can be problematic in how you can reach/message your event invitees. Can't wait to see this and more roll out on events!

Awesome! Thanks for the tip on the added features. Now its time to use them!

Agreed this is a huge feature, especially since the ability for an admin of an event created via a page has long since lost the ability to message it's attendees.
