I'm an admin of a local business, but when I want to comment on things it oftentimes defaults to commenting as that business, instead of as my individual/personal account

is there an easy way to DISABLE the "comment as group/business" feature on facebook, or toggle it somewhere?

well, that's a pretty basic workaround....just create a whole new account to post a single comment?

really unnecessary, and pretty silly of FB to not have its "switch page/accounts/identity" feature or whatever the hell it is work like it should...

Pages are supposed to keep the identity of its creator hidden, that's why posts have always worked that way. If you wanted to comment on things as yourself, then a Group would have been a better choice.

From a different point of view... you asked for a solution. I came up with a (maybe not so quick but pretty easy) workaround. You really can't appreciate that someone (who, by the way, is a volunteer and not a paid worker) took some of his time to help you out. Phew.

Anyhow, I do agree Facebook should only make posts show up under your page's name only while you're logged in as it and not as your profile..

not saying i didn't appreciate the help, just meant that the "make a new account" solution is ever-present in online forums, and isn't really a novel idea.

thanks though
