How to view your FarmVille posts and requests on Facebook

Many posting issues are related to Facebook's updated News Feed interface, which has made it hard for players to find game requests in feeds.

If you are experiencing the following, we've compiled some easy steps and tips to help you find your posts:

     -  Unable to view your posts or neighbors posts
     -  You shared a post to ask for quest help or feature help and cannot view it on Facebook


How to set up your News Feed to view recent posts (your neighbors and your own): 

1. Log in to your Facebook account and click Home (upper right of screen) to make sure you are on the News Feed page.

2. Above the top news post, click Sort and select Recent Stories First from the drop-down list.

If you do not see Zynga game posts, continue to step 3.

3. Scroll down using your browser's scroll bar on the far right side of the window. (Using the mouse scroll wheel will continue to open a long list of feeds.) You may have to scroll down a couple of times to reach the bottom of the News Feed as the scroll bar will refresh a couple of times.

4. At the bottom of the News Feed you will see a bar with two options: More Stories and Edit Options.

5. Click Edit Options. A window titled Edit News Feed Settings opens. This window shows the friends or applications that are set to be hidden from your view. For example, if FarmVille is in this list, that means you will not see posts from yourself or your friends who post FarmVille help requests.

6. If your game is listed here, click the X next to the game name to unhide related posts from your view.


Make sure to click on "new stories"
When you are viewing your News Feed, be sure to click on "new stories" which appear at the top of the feed. This will allow you to see the latest posts.

How to check that your posts made it to your Facebook profile: 

For Facebook Timeline profiles
- The timeline profile may compile multiple game feeds in one box. Click on "More" to view your other posts.
- There may be a delay for the post to appear on your timeline but it should appear on your News Feed. 


with timeline profiles, click on "more" to see other similar game posts


For original Facebook profiles
- The posts should appear on your profile page and also on your News Feed. We highly recommend using your News Feed to find your game posts.
