I was reading Kim Komando's tech tips this morning and realized there is another button next to my messages called *other*. It's kind of a spam folder but also might have messages from other people you know who are or aren't your friends on Facebook. I found one from someone who is a friend on FB so I'm not quite sure why it was there. Anyway, just in case some of the Peas don't know about this button, thought I'd share.

Yeah. I have to use it on for my local buy/sell Facebook page.

Yes. A man from Pakistan told me that "I am gorgeous woman" and I didn't discover it until more than a year later. *sigh* I might have missed out on my one, true love  |

Yikes! I just saw a message a friend left 3 years ago!!!! I'm sure he thinks I'm a total bitch for not responding. Hmmm...I may have to take care of that.
I wonder why messages from actual Facebook friends go there? Weird.

I'm off to check my "other" button.
ETA: I had 14 messages! Only one of them was a message I wish I would have known about and responded to the message. It's good to know about the "other" button. I'll check it more often.

Yep. Someone pointed it out a few years ago.  |

I had one message that Facebook left in the box but deleted the words because it was sexual in nature. Really FB, why bother to put it there if you're going to delete what he said. |

Thanks for the PSA - I just found mine. There's nothing on it for over a year so my own Pakistani man telling me I was gorgeous lost out too. Do you reckon it was the same man?

The trick is I can't see the Other box on my mobile device though so I would have to log on to the computer ad that isn't always convenient (as I sit on the computer to type this HAHAHA).

I didn't know about it until last year and found a message from a cousin I hadn't been in touch with for years - about a year after she sent it. Oh dear. |

Just found out about it two weeks ago, glad there wasn't anything important in it.

My husband received a message in his "other box" from a woman saying he was just the kind of man she was looking for.  |

I knew about it, when it caught my eye for some reason. I check it fairly regularly.
I told my office receptionist about it...she promptly checked and found a message from one of my clients asking her out for coffee (she declined, cos she is older than him!) now, I give her a hard time about it after he has been into the office........

I had this problem too but I downloaded the Messenger app and any messages I receive give me a notification and I can see on my screen as soon as they are received |
