Facebook Deleting My VF Roost Posts Again!

zraipel · 08-03-23, 10:17 AM

I am trying to sell some of my Lauren Brooks DVDs, so I posted on VF Roost. My post disappeared after about 30 minutes. I just reposted it, but I'm not sure it will stay up (never mind, it disappeared in the time it took me to type this post!). This happened to me before when I had a big list to post, but this time the list is short, so I'm not sure what the issue is. I've never had any issues on any other FB group (recently sold something not DVD related with no issues).

Last time I created a blog to post from but I don't want to go through all that just for under 10 items. I'm not interested in trading for these, would just like to sell. I posted replies to someone else's post on Roost recently and it's still there, so I don't know why I am unable to post a list of my own

This is frustrating. Is there another place people here actually look besides Roost? This board and Roost are my target audience and I'd rather not have to try with eBay.

Hi - I just looked and I see 2 posts from you in VF Roost.

Here is the link to VF Roost that I viewed: https://www.facebook.com/groups/357899254402542 Hope that helps. Perhaps it is a weird permissions to view glitch?
ETA: or perhaps try changing your sort within the VF Roost group from 'Most relevant' to 'New posts?' Or another thought, perhaps you can go to your Facebook activity log (under Settings & Privacy) to view it from there. I had this issue one time that I posted and couldn't view my new post (not in VF Roost but another in FB) so you are not crazy!

That's bizarre! With all the mess on Facebook how can fitness DVDs get singled out?

I always check New Posts but I am not seeing it there. That's so weird!! Well, I guess if everyone else can see it that's all that matters, although I don't know how I'll know if anyone posts a reply. I'll try to check my settings and see if I can figure that out. Thank you!!

ETA: I went through your link and could see my posts

I deleted one so there wouldn't be a duplicate!
Also adding, the first time it happened (with the longer post) it was definitely FB removing the post because I got some kind of message about it from FB. This time I'm leaning towards it being something in my settings since it can actually be seen and I didn't get the warning message from FB.

Good luck!

i just commented on your VF Roost FB post. Please check to see if you got a notification, and let us know.

p.s. those are good prices!

I am able to see everything now and was able to respond to your post. Thank you for helping me check it all out

ETA: The prices are about the same as what I was able to get them for during her big DVD sales. I bought duplicates because I really like her workouts but am really just trying to get rid of some clutter, so if someone else can take advantage of similar pricing (since most of her stuff is now out of stock) I'm happy to help

This just happened to me and it was totally because of my settings

. Almost missed out on something good because of it.

Definitely need to change the sort within the VF Roost group from 'Most Relevant' to 'New posts' and then within the post I had to change from 'Top Comment' to 'Most Recent'. You have to do this each time you visit, unless you are the owner of that group.

I actually starting sorting by New Posts, and then All Comments. If you don't choose All Comments, you might not see all the responses!! I hate all the Facebook settings
