Facebook Posts Wont Scroll Down

For those Sachem alumni that have migrated to our Facebook group "sachem alumni 1959 1965"  Some are having troubles with Facebook pages that wont scroll down.

Facebook posts wont scroll down... solution

I got my scrolling back... Facebook added a few features and I had to click a few items in order to get my scrolling back. If your scrolling is working, dont touch a thing!
If your scrolling has stopped, first record your present settings on paper, then try the settings that I have set. The settings are to be found in the left hand column of our Facebook page.

IF IT WORKS DONT FIX IT! 

The tabs that are discussed below are in the left hand column of a Facebook group.

Here are the settings that I am using.
-------------------------
If you see a "discussion tab" click it.
If you see "(Filter results)"
Click "most rescent"
Posts from: "your friends and groups."
Posted in group: "Any group"
Tagged location: "Anywhere"
Date posted: "Any date"

AGAIN, IF YOUR SACHEM FACEBOOK PAGE IS WORKING DO NOT TOUCH ANY OF THE SETTINGS! I SET THE ABOVE BECAUSE MY PAGE SCROLLING DISAPPEARED!
DONT FIX IT IF IT AINT BROKEN! LOL!
The real culprit is the POSTS FROM: Anyone... this is a private group and non members are not allowed to post!

Today everyone was catching Sea Robbins, and Fluke, at the Shinecock canal inlet! Yah some even caught sea weed! Everybody threw the Sea Robbins back in the water! When they caught a Fluke it had to be of the Monster man eating verity! LOL! It had to be 19 inches long! LOL! So... Everybody threw the fluke back in the water!

And now it gives me great pleasure to introduce the winner of today's fishing extravaganza... Lucy the seagull ! LOL! Lucy the seagull, has a doctorate degree in maritime survival. Our sea gull has learned to stay near the fisherman at the end of the day when they dispose of the bait that they used for fishing! LOL! The only one that went home with any fish is Lucy! LOL!

But it was still a lovely day, watching the birds and the fisherman! Yesss!

(Double click the photo to make it larger!)

Taking photos of the Davis Park Casino from the Sandspit marina, across the Great South Bay, which is over two miles away! I keep taking the same photo under different lighting conditions. I use this technique to test cameras!

Looking through the bar window, I could actually see my spirit sitting at the bar drinking draft beer, and listening to 60's music. LOL!


Can you see any other spirits at the bar? Yesss! LOL!
