You can’t TAG your own Page?

Latest update (or perhaps just a bug) is that if you have a new page you cannot TAG it in a status update.

By using the @ symbol you could TAG a person (only your friends) or a Page (if you LIKED it) and your post would then show up on their wall.

In the status update box just type the @ symbol and then start typing the page title or persons name until you see the one you are looking for in the drop down that appears below.  In the example above I knew I wanted to TAG my friends over at 210 Consulting.  I started with the @ and the just 21 and up they popped.

It seems this is just effecting the newer styled pages and not the older ones.

Hopefully this is just a temporary bug.  Speaking of bugs

Does Facebook have BUGS?

You bet they do!

Behind the scenes there are always issues being addressed, ALWAYS.  Internally they call it Bugzilla and according to the latest developers blog post

bugs

Can you imagine over 4,000 active bugs that need to be addressed right now?

If Facebook isn’t working for you chances are it’s just a bug.  Sleep tight!

    I don’t know if anyone is monitoring this right now…but here it is 2012 and I can’t tag anyone I know. JUST people and companies I do not know. This has been a problem for about 3 weeks and I have been everywhere looking for help.

      Yup, I monitor everything. That’s the good news.
      The bad news is that Facebook is full of bugs and glitches and issues. Always has, always will be.
      Can’t tell you what’s wrong with your Page or your Profile but I hope it starts working soon for you.
      Just by chance – are you trying to tag friends while you are “using Facebook as a Page”?
