How To Post A Blank Status Update Or Comment On Facebook

How To Post A Blank Status Update Or Comment On Facebook

Posting a blank status update on Facebook is not a new trick. Many of you already know about this old trick. But still there are so many people who do not know this Facebook trick. Actually this is done with some special key combination. Type either “@[0:0: ]” or “alt+0173″  ( of numpad without qoutes ofcourse) to post a black status update of comment. 




As you can see the snap, i have posted a blank staus update. 
But I also found some interesting facts about this blank status and comment trick when i was playing this trick today. I was unable to add a blank comment on this update. Facebook was showing a error message, saying, "You must enter text before adding a comment." 


It was strange for me because i had already added a blank comment with this trick.

Then i tried this trick on the posts on my friend's wall and got the same error message, saying, "You must enter text before adding a comment." 
Then i again tried in on a Facebook page. i added a blank post with a blank comment without any kind of error as the error it was showing in my wall.

It shows that Facebook has tried to patch this trick to prevent blank comments but it forgot to patch it on Facebook pages.

How to report/block a person in facebook timeline profile

Block a person in facebook timeline profile

Few months back Facebook rolled out new timeline profile which will be the default profile of all users by the end of this month. Most of the users have already switched to this new timeline profile. But in this timeline profile, most of the people are not able to find out the option to report/block a profile. In older Facebook profiles, that option was available in the bottom-left side of the page in the left sidebar. But new timeline has no sidebar of this type. So many people have doubt whether Facebook has removed the option to block or report a profile. 
The answer is simple. Facebook always cares about the privacy and security of the users. So it cannot remove the option to report/block a profile. But in new timeline this option is arranged in some other place. You only need to find it. If you do not know where to find this option, follow these steps.


  • Go to the profile, you want to report or block.
Find the gear icon just right of the message link. See the image.

  • Now click on this icon, you will see the option to report/block the profile.
  • Now select the options from the given list of option.
