Q&A: How do I get my Facebook Ticker back?
Question from Debra: Hi Rick. Weeks ago, I pressed the “Hide Ticker’ tab in a moment of boredom. It has disappeared now and there’s no option to get it back.

Q&A: Why can’t I message someone on Facebook without paying $1?
Question from Jamie: Hi. Just yesterday I tried to send someone I wasn’t “friends” with two pictures they had asked for. Facebook said if I wanted to have the message go directly into their message box, I had to pay a $1.00.
I also sent someone a link in a private message, and she could not take the link from her private message and put it to her site without paying. Is this Facebook really doing this or just another scam?
