I have been searching everywhere how to “un-hide” Facebook friends, once you have hidden them. It is ever so easy to hide comments from your friends, as the icon pops up every time your mouse scans over the right hand corner of any of their comments. But then when you begin to miss your friends’ erudite and entertaining comments, how do you get them to appear again on your homepage? I started searching for “How to Un-hide Friends” at Facebook - no help. Most advice from Internet search engines postings claim one must use Firefox browser to be able to “un-hide” friends. Don’t you get weary of every problem on the Internet being caused by not using Firefox? Well, I don’t have Firefox. When things don’t work in Internet Explorer, I use Chrome or Safari. So there!

Fortunately, I found a posting that described how to un-hide your Facebook friends, and it works, even in Internet Explorer. So there! But then you wonder, why does Facebook make hiding friends so easy, but un-hiding them (undoing the hiding process) such a great secret? Seems it is just another of those “Great Mysteries of Facebook.”

How to Un-hide the Friends You Have Hidden at Facebook

• On your home page in Facebook, highlight the filter in the left-hand panel that says “News Feed.”

• Scroll to the bottom of the “News Feed” and click the link that says “Edit Options.”

• In the box that appears, click the “Add to News Feed” link for everyone you want to un-hide, then click “Close.”

VOILA! Thanks to “Tech for Luddites” for the help.
