Another Facebook query

[bright.ton42]

If I want to send a Comment notice to friends, ie a link to a video on another FB page,  I thought you just clicked on Comment then put in the friends name but it's not working .    ????????

That's all I usually do bright. Do you mean it's not autofilling when you start typing your friends name?

Sorry, I should have said auto suggesting

No it's not lurker and it should go blue shouldn't it?  All it does is stay black and stay as a comment I made, lol.  If anything's going to go wrong with Facebook it will be for me, it hates me.  .

Dunno about the going blue thing? When I type (e.g.) Tri in the comments box a list come up with all my friends whose names start with those letters Trish, Tristan, etc. I then just tap on the one I want and it goes into the box in full and in bold. then they get a notification I have mentioned them in a comment.
Sorry, I know that's not a solution

The cause is in either the friend's or the video poster's privacy settings.
