Facebook Notification Scrollbar Fix...

| 18 Comments | No TrackBacks
fb_notification_iconFaceBook's notification feature display notifications made by applications, and also basic services such as birthdays, wall posts and comments - especially after a long period of time, and on my FireFox browser, they are displayed in a list, which accumulates when you've not logged in for quite a while.

Those notifications - when expanded, can sure go past the browser's maximum window height; now if you got a browser problem like what I've been having with my Internet browser, you might not be able to scroll up or down in that list... but if you want to? read on.
fb_notification_noscrollRefreshing your browser window at this point will not show you those unreadable notifications - but rather it skips them - leaving only a handful of the latest entries displayed... the rest... needs you need to click on your recent activity link just to see the full listing of activities you missed.

Fortunately, there's a workaround to overcome this clipping problem and restore the scrollbar to the notification list - without having to refresh your browser window:

Using Mozilla FireFox...
  1. On your Internet browser's FB window, Hit Ctrl+(minus, keyboard or keypad version) to shrink your browser fonts smaller. By doing so, the browser will make proper readjustments to the window and the scrollbar will be added.
  2. Now that you've fixed the problem, simply restore the fonts back to its default size by pressing Ctrl+(zero, either keyboard or keypad). There you go! Problem solved!
Alternatively, you can also perform the usual menu option of going through View | Zoom on the browser's menubar on FireFox.

Using Microsoft Internet Explorer...
  • Ctrl+(minus, keyboard or keypad version) to adjust the fonts smaller.
  • Ctrl+(star, keypad version only I'm afraid...) to restore fonts back to normal... fixing the no-scrollbar problem.
Alternative method is to click on the Page | Zoom on the menubar.

Hope this helps some of you out there!

Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.

Your website looks really good. Being a blog writer myself, I really appreciate the time you took in writing this article.

Thanks for that - I am such a newbie when it comes to the internet and it never ceases to amaze me how helpful everyone is. Wish I'd gotten into this sooner now!

Mass-Follow.com is hands down the best Twitter follow site around!

Nice website. Great read.

Very interesting way to market on facebook. I also found a way to automate a couple very powerful methods of getting users. You can capture ID by groups or pages or wall posts with this program. Then once you have them you can do a friend request to your logon or sudo profile. This by passes the captcha codes too. There is also a cool chat program that you can setup scripts and keyword to work with. This program, when I use it I can see a spike in my site traffic. It is amazing...

Your rss feed fails to operate inside my own browser (google chrome) how might I repair it?

what a great site and informative posts, I will bookmark your site. Keep up the good work!

Thx for the info..

I am on an IMAC using Safari and can't get my scrollbar to go past just a few posts?
I guess it's what you talked about in the blog but there was no advice for a Mac User or Safari user?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx
