This is a Facebook issue not a GCU issue.

If you have a Personal Page and a Fan Page, technically your account will always default to the personal page. With the very recent changes on Facebook, I believe if you EDIT your profile, there is a place where you can choose to have all posts made as your Fan Page vs your Personal page.

Think about that carefully however, it will mean that all personal posts you make will be as your Fan Page Profile. I decided to leave my as is and yes that means that GCU and other places post to my personal page not my Fan Page, but I look at it as additional exposure.

My personal friends and family get to occasionally see posts from GCU which drums up business that is a bit different from that on my Fan Page. If it really bothers you that GCU posts to your personal page, then stop using the FB button in the email and instead click on the card link, grab the Sell Code and add it manually to your Fan Page.

I never thought about grabbing the sell code. Doreen, you are always full of great ideas. Wink

Thanks!

Welcome!

"One is glad to be of service"

Anyone want to guess what movie that line is from? Grin

Sounds like a line they might give to Jack Nicholson. But no guesses here, not that much of a movie buff and trivia is hopeless with me. Don't ever let me be your partner at a trivia game! lol
