Won't replace it for me. I don't do FB.

Is it possible to unlock the page so everyone can view but not post? I am not a FaceBook user but I have been to many FaceBook webpages where I was able to look around. Another benefit of having a FaceBook page is in case of a server failure or what have you of the ChinaRiders.net website people can go over to the FaceBook page for status updates and to find out whats going on. I found this to be very useful recently on another forum that crashed over an entire weekend. You would think the world was ending all the trouble that server crash caused.

I can unlock it i think. Just don't want spammers.....

It has been unlocked from the get go. While it used to work in the past, it seems that now there's no way to show a profile to other people who are not a members of the site. I definitely do not like this......

Figured it out. It is a GROUP thus you have to be logged in and anyone can post. The public ones are PAGES where only the owner can post to the main area. I have a PAGE for my business you should be able to see...... https://www.facebook.com/M-R-Home-Se...posts_to_page/

FYI, I used Facebook to keep up with Family spread from Illinois, to the Carolinas, To Florida and a nephew in the Army in Korea as well as dozens of friends throughout the country and actually the world. I also use it for news as i don't watch TV. It's not a bad tool in this day and age.
