Is there a Bug or other problem with Facebook Page 'invite friends' feature ?

[DmitriiK]

Hi.

Have you tried in different browsers? do you have pop-ups enabled?

[Dan-Lawrence]

HI Dimitri

yes i have also tried firefox and same issue , the loading box pops up and swirls around a bit (to indicate a dialogue box is about to load) but then just disapears.

I presume if pop ups were not enabled the dialogue box would not even begin to load ?

cheers

Ok, I figured it out.

There is a misleading and not full info on the article you linked to.

So, to make it work you gotta:

1. log out, log in as yourself;
2. on LEFT side column find the business page
3. then on cover photo, by "message" click three dots icon
4. click "invite friends" if you want to invite friends
5. click "suggest page", if you want to use email uploads

Works like a charm

Good stuff Dimiti thanks for that !!

All good up until point 5 where i dont see a 'suggest page' option , where do you see that in the list of friends after you click invite friends or somewhere else ?

all best

Oh, that's when you click on that three dots icon, it's right below "invite friends".

Im not seeing it anywhere on that drop down list and have checked a couple of other pages i manage too and its just not there, do you think its being phased out and already has been for some users (also as per the penultimate comment on that SME article thread) ?

See the screenshot below.

thanks again Dmitri but i definately don't see that option. Since i don't do you agree this could be being phased out ?

[DmitriiK]

[Dan-Lawrence]
