Don't upload every single vacation photo separately - make a freaking album like a normal person. I have one friend on FB who does this. She takes hundreds of photos and uploads each one to a separate post with an accompanying informational 'tour guide' paragraph. Drove me freaking insane until I blocked her. Tonight I have someone who is currently trekking across the volcano on Hawaii and is uploading every step with a new photo and caption. She's not usually a prolific FB poster, but she's blocking up my feed with dozens of photos of black rock!!
OK, vent over.

eh, you don't even have to hide her. Just go uncheck "following" (button on her page) the images won't show up in your feed. When she is back and done with vacation you can go turn them back on.

I had someone do that in my feed as well. Luckily I was able to "hide all from" and don't see them anymore.

Just click the button that says "following" and thier stuff won't show up in your news feed. Easier than blocking/hiding. When you are ready to add them back just go click "follow" again. easy peasy. Attachments:

I know - how hard is it to create an album? I like seeing their pix, but an album is a lot better.  |

Is it possible that she doesn't know how to create an album?

She's probably uploading via mobile - I'm not a mobile user so I have no idea how it works but it seems that there are an awful lot of mobile users who struggle with albums

Eh, her wall, her choice. I like what others have suggested. That way you don't have to see it. Someone posted a picture of a patient with Anorexia. She wants to build awareness, I guess. But it was upsetting to me, so I tried to hit the "hide this post" button. It's not there any more. I had to hit the "see less from this person" in order to hide the post. Ugh. Why did they take away the "hide this post" button.

I don't remember the reason why, but Facebook does not allow me to upload multiple photos at a time, which makes uploading pictures a pain. Yes, I do upload them to a specific album, but I still have to do one at a time. As a result, I don't upload photos very often, but when I do, concern about clogging my friends's news feeds is not going to keep me from doing it. All they need to do is just unfollow or hide me if it annoys them. No big deal. I periodically unfollow friends and later follow them again, depending on what they are posting.

Ugh...I'm going through this now, too. I have a friend who is documenting every single possible detail of a trip to Disney that is a surprise to her daughter. Posts like a trip to the airport coffee shop, carrying the car seat through the terminal, blowing bubbles with gum, the video on the plane. They just got there yesterday, but the posts started three days ago and I have counted 18 so far. This is going to be a long week!

Ok, I have a "friend" that is for the most part extremely negative and judgy. Yesterday she posted that "a house close to them almost burnt to the ground and is right next door to the volunteer fire department. Wont be donating to them anymore"
Ok, so this pissed me off royally. They are VOLUNTEER and they do not live at the fire station!!!!
And the whole donation thing....she VOLUNTEERS for the local animal shelter/rescue and is ALWAYS after donations. Maybe people should stop donating to her!!!
She is not from here and is constantly making broad statements about this area. "Everyone here" "All these people" etc.
Just move back to where you came from for Petes sake!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha. It is the 21st-century equivalent of going to someone's house for dinner and having them ambush you with a 350-installment slide show of their trip to Bermuda.
At least you can hide them. It was always awkward in the 70s when the lights dimmed and you knew you were trapped.

Oh yeah that would be super annoying!
I have a few:
I don't need to see a post every few hours about your relationship with God and how much you love him, I think all your friends know that now lol
If you don't want to know spoilers from TWD or any other show that is on a different time slot then me or others on FB or any social media site hey here is a thought stay off the damned internet and you won't get anything ruined for you and oh yeah just because you can't watch it until Monday night don't expect me to not talk about it on FB until I get the all clear ugh lol!

I've noticed in the past few years that people no longer do vacation albums on facebook because they need to post daily from their iphone one or two pics they took, I'd prefer to see an organized album with 50 pictures, no more.

Their FB, their choice. I really don't get why others get so pissed at how others use their own FB page.

I get ya OP! Annoying. I have an Aunt that shares everyone on her feeds pictures. I get annoyed because I've seen all these photos before from the original posters. Luckily, she only gets on FB every few months.

Is it possible that she doesn't know how to create an album? It's a possibility, however she seems to be a expert in everything under the sun. You name it, she can do it. She's generally awesome so I'd be surprised if she didn't know how to create an album. Shes also a science nerd so she's just super excited about walking the volcano. I just got back from a long trip and went straight to work the next day. I think I was just jet lagged and cranky at all her posts. Perhaps I'll post all 588 photos of my vacation individually!!! |

Can I add my FB vent, Timehop. Please for the love of mankind do not repost all of your Timehop photos. We saw them the first time. Yes, I realize your darlings are the best ever, nobody has ever had kids as smart, cute and adorable as yours but stop already.

Maybe she doesn't care what you think OP? I don't like things like 'If you don't like this cat picture some baby unicorns will die and you love cancer' type of pictures or people who are the FB DJ and need to post their favourite songs all day long. I do realise I don't own FB, so I just unfollow people who irritate me. You can do this too. I've unfriended people over their incessant game requests also.

Facebook used to group those type of photos into one album, and it now it seems like it posts each photo separately. Not sure what they changed, but now I wait until I get home as I don't want to fill my friends' feed with pictures. I think some people don't realize that's what they're doing, because it used to be set up differently.

Timehop is a ap that shows you what your facebook status updates were for that day in past years. Kind of a "this day in history" but it was your day in history. I love to see what my life was like the past 5 years on this date (I've been on fb 5 years. It only shows the years you have been on fb so it may be more or less than mine). And timehop has a button to re-post it. I love looking at my daily timehop but I try to be careful about how often I post the old gems. |

Many of my facebook friends are LDS so it's the SAME religious shares from various sites over and over. I love the feature where you can hide all from 1 website.  So, I'm not blocking the person and I'm only hearing about their personal lives. |

Timehop will also show you what you posted on Instagram & Twitter (and other social media sites) for the last 6 years. It will even look at your phone photos and show you those too. |

She probably wants to make sure each photo gets seen especially if she is narrating each one. Usually when photos are uploaded all at once to an album, people just like the album post and ignore all the individual photos. |
