jhb171achill Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 If you set it up, it's possible for you to vet - or to confirm or refuse - permission for others to post. Some FB pages will show a message to the effect that if you or i post something, it won't show up until or unless the mods approve it.

Irishswissernie Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 The name Wilson Adams rings a bell although in my present state of health/mind this might not mean much. Years ago I used to have an internet group for Irish railways which I closed down when Messenger or somebody stopped providing Group facilities. Some of the lads on here were members. Wilson Adams moniker was K9 and he was OK. I havn't a clue how he managed to become an Administrator of your Group though Tony. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I knew Wilson, yes K9, years ago and I always found him to be reasonable to deal with - perhaps PM him? He’s very much interested in things UTA and NIR…. He collects photos too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRi1959 Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 I have absolutely no problem with the Group or Wilson. I cannot understand how my link opens his group! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmie353 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Would you happen to have the link to your own facebook group for your page? Just to confirm the URLs for both groups, to rule out a re-direct to the group that Wilson is an admin of. Another question, was the group creation date is the same as yours?

GNRi1959 Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Mystery Solved today........ my Facebook account was hacked so I closed the account. Wilson was offered admin privileges - obviously, FB do this? so the first link I posted, was my link. now it’s Wilson’s.

mmie353 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 That is about all you can do? Not sure if you can reach out to Wilson and request to be added as an admin to the site, explain that you were the original admin for it and see if you can get anywhere. I always try to set a password for an account using the mindset, a password that should be difficult for someone else to hack over than what is an easy password for me to remember.

I’m not really bothered about the admin of this, it’s how FB works that does. I changed every password I use only yesterday after I was notified of another Messenger hack from a FB friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
