Facebook Has Once Again Changed Its News Feed, So That By Default,

you can only see updates from people with whom you have recently interacted. To change this, click on 'account', then 'edit friends' then at the top, drop down menu, click 'All Friends'.  The  problem is, you have to reset this every time you go back into Facebook because it will again say 'recently interacted'.  Why won't it stay where you set it?

Because the setting you are changing has nothing to do with posts, the setting you are looking for is under the "Most Recent" link on your wall. Click on the drop down arrow and choose "Edit Options" and then change the "Show posts from" opion to "all of your friends and pages".

This is an old facebook change and somewhere along the line the message has been altered to the inaccurate one you are seeing.

Hope this helps
