RE: [Chrysler300] Chrysler 300 facebook Group

Hello Ron,

The short answer is no.   The reason why follows:

Our club Facebook page was set up some years ago as a “page” not as a “group.”    A “page” only permits “visitor” posts from non-admins as you discovered.  In order to do what you are requesting, the current page and all of its content would need to be deleted, and a new Facebook “group” would need to be setup similar to the “Forward Look” or “Chrysler 300 Appreciation Society” groups.  These require membership and continuous administration of content.   Also, Facebook requires a 30 day duration to actually delete a page, and we can’t have two Facebook entities with the same name at the same time.  

Given this scenario we admins discussed the pros and cons and decided to leave it as is.  I also polled the club attendance at a meet business meeting on the issue (I think maybe the Holland meet) and the overwhelming preference was the leave the club Facebook page as is.

The workaround, which I mentioned last Thursday at the business meeting in Minneapolis, is to send your photos to me and I will post them on the club Facebook page.  If you have a large number, mailing me a thumb drive would be helpful.  If you want to send small batches of photos via email, that is fine too.  Sending a  large numbers of photos at once to my email will overwhelm it.

Another solution is to post your photos on the “Chrysler 300 Appreciation Society” and I will share them to our FB page, if possible.  It doesn’t always work, however.  FYI the “Chrysler 300 appreciation Society” has no affiliation with our club, nor is the admin even a member of our club.

Hey Everyone -
 
Can the admins of the facebook group for our club open up the group for posting ? I'd like to post some photos of the convention. But the only way I can make that happen is if they are relegated to a side column on the Post tab. Hard for people to find or see.
 
Thanks,
 
Ron
