Are you one of the thousands or perhaps millions of people confused by the new Facebook “Live Feed”?

When I switched to the new feature a few days ago, I only saw updates from some people and sometimes those were many hours old. I figured FB was on the blink again.

So eventually, I posted something to that effect on my own status and a friend sent me a set of instructions on how to fix that problem. But, the flaw there was that it called for me to click on an “Edit Options” link that I could not find. I spent quite a long time looking for this devious little link but still could not find it.

And many other people are still looking for the infamous “Edit Options” button – So many that someone created a group on Facebook just to explain it!

This worked for me, though I had to go back and switch to News Feed and back to Live Feed a few times before I saw the correct settings box to show up.

So, from that group, here is the answer to make that link appear and edit your Live Feed settings so you won’t miss any of your friends’ posts, links or updates. Whew! :-)

IF YOU DONT HAVE “EDIT OPTIONS” BUTTON DO THIS -

1. Make sure you select ‘Live Feed’ at the top – should say ‘Live Feed’ followed by View News Feed.

2. Scroll all the way to the bottom. If the ‘Edit Options’ link does not show in the right side of the ‘Older Posts’ blue box at the bottom, hover over anyone’s post above, and a ‘Hide’ dropdown appears in… Read More… Read more… Read more the right corner of their post. Click on ‘Hide’ and it should drop a box that says ‘Hide (persons name)’. Select that person to hide them. You should now see the ‘Edit Options’ in the bottom blue box to the right of ‘Older Posts’.

3. Click on ‘Edit Options’. If it does not bring up a box that has ‘Number of Friends’ in the bottom left, then cancel and go back to the top of your page. Select News Feed. Then re-select Live Feed…. Read more

4. Click on the ‘Edit Options’ link again. You should now see the ‘Number of Friends’ in the bottom left. I read somewhere the 5000 is the maximum number of friends a person can have, so to see everyone’s posts, change that number to 5000
