Facebook question

I'll be the first to admit I am a total Facebook goober.
I started a page several months ago because everyone said I should.

So the current issue: If I go to look up someone else's facebook page, I can't, I only have access to my page. If I log out, it takes me to a login screen and I don't have access to anything. If I log in I can only access my page.

Anybody have any pointers how to navigate that god for saken site?

Jim - You need to add them as friends first, then you can view their page. I will look you up and send a request. After that you should be able to view my info.

**Edit** Apparently you can't friend a business page, you can only like it. What is it specifically that you're looking to accomplish by looking at peoples page? Do you have a personal FB Account set up, or just a business one?

I only have a business page.

There was something I was told to see on someone else's page and was told to 'search' their name to go there, but I can't.

So you search a name, you can see the person that want to view, but when you click it there is little to no information you can view?

Since I don't have a business page I'm sort of lost. You can try making a personal page, and it should work just fine. Perhaps somebody with a business page will chime in and help.

I have no experience with a business page but that may be your issue. I dont know if the functionality is all the same there for communicating.

Glad to see you've joined up. When I bought my clutch from you a few months back I tried to find your page.

Nope, there is no way to go anywhere in facebook from my page. There are NO buttons, options, or anything to do anything other than Log Out.
I can get the list of Friends, or Like list, or whatever it's called, then go to that persons page. But I cannot search to find someone not listed.
For example, if I want to check out something on Bean's Diesel page, I have to go find them in a forum and click on a link in their signature to take me there.

How do you find someone from your business page?

Really stupid if I have to start ANOTHER page just to look for other people.
What's worse is they won't accept my Business email as valid, so I had to use my personal email. So even if I need to start another page, I then have to start another email, too. I've sent them a ton of inquires why they won't accept my business email and never heard back from anyone.

I wonder if there is a privacy setting or something that needs to be changed...

I can search for people from both my personal and business pages. I can find people that I know and those that I don't know from both pages.

It may be because you don't have a personal page.c My pages are linked, I can switch between posting as myself and posting as my business.

I think you're right Mark. It looks like the business page is designed to be linked to and used in tandem with a personal page. The business page alone doesn't give you the option to search for people or pages or anything.
