If your like me and run a Facebook fan page, you might want to comment or like post as yourself, using your personal account so your friends can see the comments.  There are a few steps to follow to set your account to personal while your on your fan page.

Step 1: While logged in and on your business fan page, click the “Edit” button.

Step 2: Click the “Your Settings” link and un-check the box that says “Always Comment and Post on your page as …”

Your going to have to remember that now you are in a manual mode so to speak.  You have to manually select who your posting as on your Facebook fan page.

So now head back over to your Facebook fan page and take a look at step 3.

  7. Even with this unticked I am still not able to post as myself. Is it a bug? I think I did have it ticked at one point. Also is it possible the page type makes a difference with this?

    hello! Can anyone say, if the method has changed? I used to do that this way but the settings has changed at least on my facebook.

  10. Jeroen den Ridder says:

    Yes, it changed and this setting is outside the logic of the other settings:

    Step 1: While logged in and on your business fan page, click the “Edit” button.
    Step 2: Click the “Modify page” link and choose “Use Facebook as ‘your name'”
    Step 3: On the top of the screen, just below the Facebook logo, appears an option where you can define if you want to respond with personal profile or fanpage profile.

    (i translated the options from Facebook with Dutch settings so minor differences are possible)

    Cheers, Jeroen

      Hoi Jeroen. Bedankt voor je antwoord. Ik kom er echter nog niet helemaal uit. Het zou geweldig zijn als je me zou willen helpen. Wat ik doe: Ik ben ingelogd op facebook. Onder de paginainstellingen kan ik de standaar optie (als wie ik standaard reageer zegmaar) niet vinden. Wel lukt het me om, als ik klik op facebook gebruiken als {ik}, te reageren als mij zelf. Helaas kan ik de standaard instelling niet vinden.

      Ik ben nieuw op disques, maar neem aan dat ik een notificatie krijg als ik een reactie op deze reactie op een reactie (haha) krijg? Zo niet, kun je me ook op facebook/twitter even opzoeken. Alvast heel erg bedankt.

        Hallo Giorgio,

        Als je persoonlijk bent ingelogd dan kun je in het linker menu je pagina(‘s) aanklikken. Dan verschijnt je pagina en helemaal bovenaan – net onder het facebook logo – verschijnt de instelling hoe je de standaard weergave van je reactie kunt wijzigen.

        Werkt dit voor je?

        Groet, Jeroen

          Hi,

          Super bedankt voor je reactie. Je bedoelt deze balk neem ik aan? http://puu.sh/5zPeg.png

          Dit werkt inderdaad. Hij onthoudt de instelling ook als ik me inlog en weer uitlog. Echter zou ik deze functionaliteit ook willen hebben op mijn telefoon (pages app bijv). Als ik daar op like klik/ een reactie plaats op een post van een van mijn paginas, like ik deze als de pagina waardoor het bericht is geplaatst. Ik zou dit graag als mijzelf willen doen.

          Groet,
          Giorgio

    Mine doesn’t look like this. A couple days ago it changed now where if I go in as myself, it just takes me back to my personal page. If I try to do a search and enter in just as ME, like I always used to, it shows me as my page admin again. No tagging. No ability to share my posts or work to my personal page. Did they move something or change a setting? Where is it? Or is this just the way it is now?

  17. Sved as a favorite, I гeally likе your bloǥ!

  18. My wife and i have been really thankful when Peter could finish off his preliminary research
    out of the precious recommendations he grabbed out of your web page.
    It’s not at all simplistic to simply be freely giving techniques which
    often the rest may have been making money from.
    We do understand we have got you to be grateful to for that.

    The explanations you have made, the simple web site menu, the friendships you will help instill – it’s
    got mostly spectacular, and it’s really leading our son and us do think the content is exciting, which is wonderfully essential.

    Thank you for the whole lot!
