Default OMG! Facebook sucks!!

I am so fed up with Facebook! I've been pretty much banned from all groups and cannot share my CT layouts anywhere because every time I post it creates this ad thinking I'm selling something. I used to manually change it for every single layout in each post but now I can't do anything at all. What do I do?? I sent a ticket to Facebook but in the meantime I can't even share anything! I can't even post this in the Sweet Shoppe chatter.

And look at the date I'm banned until?? It doesn't even make sense!
I'm freaking devastated!

lol I can't help but chuckle. Banned? You? I was just about to go post my layouts. Wonder if I'll get banned, too? lol I was sort of not looking forward to it...now you've made me even more hesitant. lol

(Came back to add...hope I didn't offend you by chuckling. The ban and especially for how long is ridiculous. Absurd! Hope they reverse that quickly.)

Weird...my notifications tell me that you posted a picture in Chatter. But, when I click on the notification, it just takes me to the page and your post/picture isn't there. I'm about to see if it let's me post...

Well...it let me post. It, of course, had it as if I was selling something but it let me change that setting (which I have to do every single post, too.)

I don't know what to tell you.
Hugs!

That's crazy. I hope they get it straightened out soon. December 4th of whatever year that is is a long, long time to be banned, LOL! (Sorry--trying to laugh with you. Too soon?)

So, I have noticed that if I use my "business page" to share layouts to other groups, the "ad" part doesn't show up. I share most of my layouts on FB from my personal "business" page called "mywisecrafts". I kinda have the 8-10 groups that are ok with actually sales being advertised memorized and usually share to those from my "mywisecrafts" page and then post specifically to like 3-4 other pages as myself and make sure the "ad" format is turned off before I leave the page.

If what I just said doesn't make any sense, you can let me know. LOL.
That year is hilarious on that notice.

Ugh! Yeah I usually post and turn off the sale ad right away.
Maybe I should create a business page but I don’t really want the hassle of managing something else on Facebook.

I do hear you on that in regards to managing another page….one of the positives is it saves you from having to copy and paste for each group…. Since you would be sharing from that page.

I never thought to do that. I have a business page or two...one from my designing days. I should use those.

I've found that my work around is to post just the layout. No description and then just edit it to add the links and stuff and then it works fine.
Sorry lea. That sucks!

When i post a page with my personal account i do five credits, but don't place links in it. I never have seen the sale trouble on any of the layouts i place. Maybe it is because of the linking?

This is a bug according to the news in the support/marketing group that FB has for group admins. It's occurring in all kinds of FB groups right now. I'm not sure how they're addressing/correcting it but lots of people are getting the error. It's incredibly frustrating.

Yes, so very frustrating!!

Also the fact that they changed the sharing feature. I was able to just click all the groups at once that I wanted a layout shared on. Can't do that anymore. I have to share each one individually. Takes forever!

I think you're right. It is the links that are causing the problem. But as a CT member I think the designer really want those links posted so I don't have the option to remove them. Or do like Kiana said and post without credits, then edit the post and add the links. It's one extra step...

I have to do what Kiana does. I post the layout without the credits. Then either edit it to add the description or post the credits in a comment. Good luck!
