Is it possible to delete a conversion tracking pixel from the Facebook Ads Manager and how? I have one pixel that I don't need anymore but I can't find an options for deletion. Is there an option which I just can't see or there's really no chance for removing it?
If someone else is wondering, too, I got this answer from Facebook:
Unfortunately it's not possible to delete a conversion pixel once you've created it. The good news, however, is that we're removing the conversion tracking pixel in the second half of 2016. I'm unsure as to whether or not they'll be completely removed from your ad account, but be on the lookout for that update to see if you can't get rid of them then.

Because MAUF app has been dead since July 2017, I was looking for another way of changing colors in facebook messenger to the ones I want. Found something here: http://wanna-be.pro/facebook_messenger_dialog_color/
I succesfully intercepted XHR request, managed to change it a bit (color) and sent the modified version back to Facebook. Unfortunately, nothing happened.
I tried playing with it a little bit more, and noticed it changes color only if the specified color is one of the 15 facebook offers us to change in a normal way.
Is there any way to set a custom color now, or has the facebook changed it in a way it's not possible by any method now?
Facebook fixed this by checking to see if the requested color matches the pre-approved colors.
This is server-side, so there's no way to change this except the black color on secret conversations. There's no way around it. Unfortunately, we have to suck it up with the garbage suggested ones.
I have tried searching for a way to download some basic stats, or even a time series plot, that tallies the amount of facebook messenger activity between myself and my significant other. This is a much needed step to expedite some paperwork we need for a government application. Scrolling through a multi-year history and counting which days we used Messenger seems tortuous. Even if there was a way to download a vector of timestamps of messages between us, that would help a lot. I could code my own plot for the paperwork. Some blogs have mentioned using the "download a copy of your facebook data" from the support inbox, but I do not see that link on the appropriate page anymore. Does anyone know where it moved to?
Thank you.
I haven't tried this myself, but hopefully it works:
Go to your settings (the little downward pointing arrow, then choose settings),and right below all the options within the main box there should be a message saying "Download a copy of your Facebook data.", click the link, start the archive and apparently it should work. But whether or not it has timestamps and such, is a mystery for me (but likely).
edit: If this does not work, depending on your computer/volume of messages, what you could also do is open the mobile browser messenger (to reduce processing power needed), and start scrolling up within your conversation right up until to the top, then ctrl+a and copy everything to a word document. But obviously this would not work for conversations in the multiple thousand message territory
Facebook recently announced the introduction of messenger codes which can be used to add new contacts and, more importantly, communicate directly with businesses and business pages (which is why I'm interested in it).
It took me ages to find it but on the bottom left of the messages tab on my Facebook page I have the option to download my code in three different sizes - clicking the disc will open a modal window where you can click the Download button and choose from 300, 600 or 1000px PNG file downloads.
NOTE: While they are PNG files the background is not transparent which seems like a bit of an oversight to me but hey ho that's what Photoshop is for I guess.
The problem is that while I can download my code I can't find any way to test it on printed materials (or even electronically at the moment!). The scanning feature doesn't seem to have been rolled out for me yet (I tried re-installing the Messenger app to see if I got a newer version but that didn't work) and nor for anyone I know (I'm in the UK). The codes are bespoke to Messenger so can't be scanned or tested using any other app.
I'm probably too far ahead of the game but is there any way I can test to see if my code scans correctly, or anywhere I can go to find out? I would like to use it on some promotional material which is likely to be long term materials that I don't want to have to update in the near future (several years, by which time it's likely these codes will be more commonplace).
I also need to know what the redundancy is like. For example the high redundancy QR codes I generate can have up to 30% of the code covered while still being usable, which is great for design purposes. I can't find any official documentation as yet for these codes at all, let alone what is required, what the spec. is etc.
I know the most likely option is 'sit and wait' but I really would rather not if possible. I've never been very patient...
Thanks
UPDATE: My Messenger app has now been updated so I can test, but I'm leaving this here in case anyone knows of another way to test perhaps? If someone doesn't have Messenger on their phone for example.
I'm trying to get version of a photo that FB uses as the background image for album layouts where one side is always exactly 206px and the other one at least the same, for example https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/p206x206/10401476_409218399235620_1454525834273554679_n.jpg?oh=eda59fce63113796b35c46cc4bec162a&oe=55760EFD&gda=1433681435_6b4729404e05493108c271a50c753d7f I've scoured both the graph and SO, but am having absolutely no luck here. I'm aware that you can get 3 versions of a photo using type=album/thumbnail/normal ie https://graph.facebook.com/409218399235620/picture?type=album (you'd think this one would work, but they probably never updated it to redirect to the new size?). I've tried all kinds of variants of this knowing that the graph documentation is pretty crap, to no avail.
I've also used the Explorer to for example pull up ?fields=images, but it's never one of the listed images there. I've tried using widths, replacing parts of the URL etc. etc. I am running the checks with a valid access_token.
I've pretty much resigned myself to just resizing myself, but given the time I've spent on this, I thought I'd at least put it out there in case someone else has had the same problem, and come up with a solution.
Our website was recently redesigned and since then I have been unable to get the correct image to appear when I choose link.
For instance:
If I post this link:
http://www.horrormovienews.net/article1184.html
It does not show the image of Ethan Hawke as one of the choices for me to post along with this story. I have asked a few other people (co-workers) and some friends who live around the USA, PA, NC, etc. and they can not get that pic as a choice either. One person who lives in MA can see it when he posts a link.
(This happens to every news story in our network of sites since the theme was changed on the sites)
Another bizarre thing is it WILL show the image for this story:
http://www.horrormovienews.net/article1160.html
but not the one at the top of this post.
I have even used the Facebook lint tool about a week ago to try to refresh the cache.
I have tried to many different things to try to fix thing. I changed the image path, the size of the images, etc. Nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing it? Any help would be much appreciated.
You need to specify og:image tag. See your results here: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.horrormovienews.net%2Farticle1184.html
Fix up those warnings and then you should be able to share the link much more consistent.
