News Feed Request Issue due to Timeline Activity Log Update

Share:

Facebook made a bad change for gamers. When Mafia Wars requests didn't make it on our walls and then into the news feeds a common workaround was to go to the Activity Log and highlight the request. This option is no longer available. At this time I don't know how to go back and get your request into the news feed if it doesn't post. Allowing Zynga to autopost will pretty much hide your requests because you need to write something on them so they show up. You can disable autoposting via the Spockholm Mafia Toolbar but if the request doesn't show up on your wall due to Facebook limitations you won't get any clicks. Since we can no longer go back and highlight these requests, I'm not sure what players with this issue will do. Please comment if you know of any workarounds.

  1. In Facebook, click on the the down-pointing triangle (arrow?) in the blue bar at the top of the page and select "settings". Then from the menu on the settings page, on the left side (for me, anyhow), choose "Apps".

    Choose "Mafia Wars". I get a pop up window. Scroll down to "This App Can:" and where it says "Post" ... uncheck it, then SAVE!

    Back in the game, Mafia Wars will pester you about that choice, but you can click a box "don't ask me again" when it does.

    And THEN you need to put something in the comment field every time you post. I just put in a . then post.

  2. You can use the MW addon Post as my Behalf fixer plug in , and use the client options to auto add a comment to your posts so they show on your timeline ..

  3. Demon auto adds text to all the auto posts to circumvent the no text on a post issue from long ago... It costs money, but is an option and yet another reason to consider Demon if you are a daily addict/player...

    1. Click the little black and white MWAddon icon to the right of your browser bar. At the bottom it says Configuration with a little wrench, click it. It will open a new page and at the bottom of it, you add your comment. After you check the box and add your comment, make sure to click the save and close button. Hope this helps :)

  5. I don't understand.. facebook knows most of the games require begging your friends for something, so why are they trying so hard to prevent these posts?

  7. Its not just a Mafia Wars issue - my posts for my other non-Zynga game (the ones in the scrolling box, not the ones I type on - they still appear for both games) have also disappeared from my Timeline. Both of them disappeared at the same time two days ago. I think Facebook are messing around again :o(
