[Trainer-talk] Facebook question

[Laine steward]

Jim, 
Usually when i do this in the instructions it says "click on the photo of the person, people you want to invite" so once I chose "invite"  all the peoples'  pictures are there, i hear their name and "clickable" after it, and just press enter on the persons name. I've hear a "select all" link or button, but never tried to use it, i'm usually only trying to select one or two people out of 200...
there is no audible comfirmation that you've "clicked" on anyone's picture so you just have to trust... which is hard to do... 
Facebook keeps changing things, and it seems to be different when you create an event, or add people to a group, or when you're trying to add friends in different apps, so I don't know how much this will help. good luck
Laine
