Facebook notifications not working

Posted by David Hurst in Guides, Rants, Technology on July 7th, 2009

I’ve finally fixed this annoying problem.

Users of Facebook will be familiar with the notification icon in the bottom right of the screen that lets you know when people have commented on your activity etc., and I’m guessing that if you’ve stumbled on this page then your Facebook notifications have stopped working too.

The fix is simple:

  • Click on the notifications icon to open the Facebook notifications window.
  • Click on ‘See All Notifications’ at the bottom.
  • In the list of authorised applications on the right hand side, under ‘Other Applications’, tick the box next to ‘Feed Comments’
  • Job done!

Yep, you never unticked the damn box in the first place. Who knows why this happens?

I hope this post helps you out - leave a comment below if so.
