I have a problem. I was normally invited to an event and I RSVP as “attending” the event. Everything's going fine till I accidentally remove this event from My Events. Now whatever I do I cant see it anymore. Although when I logged in from a friend's account and checked the event I can see it and I can see myself STILL Attending it. Is there any way I can add this event to My Events again?

Your tips are great. Thank you.

Have a real problem I want to ask about. I accidentally created five separate event pages for the same event (Facebook kept telling me to try again later, when all the while it was actually creating the event and messaging people). In addition to embarrassing myself by sending out so many duplicate invites, now I have five separate event pages. I created it from a group page that I administer.

The best option would be to consolidate the pages, but I think that is impossible. The second best option would be to delete the extra pages, but no where can I find a "remove" link for the events. Here's a screen capture -- http://screencast.com/t/ZTM5OTk0Z. I am trying to avoid canceling the events, which would then re-message everyone yet again and probably confuse people in the process.

Any advice would be very much appropriated. Thank you.

does this remove me from the event or remove me from seeing the event?

No remove option? That isn't something I've run into before.

To be certain, I would try navigating to the Event page itself, and looking for "Remove from My Events" underneath the event photo. You should be able to find it here: http://screencast.com/t/OWRkNDU2Y

Now if you're facing something different, why don't you show me a screenshot and I'll see if I can help you from there.

That acronym is a new one to me. Had to look it up.

I always insist that you should consider any information you put on the internet to be public information. Of course, we should be able to expect our credit card numbers aren't accessible when we buy things on the internet, this and others are extreme situations – but if you've put something out there, understand that you've PUT IT OUT THERE.

My roommate set the event to private so everybody who hadn't given an RSVP was blocked from seeing it. I logged into her account, set it to public, logged into my account and RSPVed yes, then logged back into her account and set it back to private.

FWIW, if the organizer has made the event “public,” then your attendance at the event is also public information (i.e. accessible to anyone via search, whether or not they are your FB “friends”), which may or may not be something you want the whole world to know about.
