I was reading Mari Smith's post, 5 Facebook Changes: Ticker, Photos, Timeline for Pages and More, and was reminded again of the Hidden Posts feature in Facebook (Mari's second tip but be sure to read all five—she's a rockstar!).
It's a bummer if your fans are posting on your Wall but it's not showing up because it's being tagged as spam and relegated to the "Hidden Posts" page instead.
Here's the 411:

Video Notes:
- Go to your Facebook page.
- Click on the "Hidden Posts" link directly under the "Wall" link in the left column.
- To clean out your Hidden Posts, click on the gear icon or the globe icon in the top right corner of each post. Then select "Unhide Post" for those posts which are not spam and you want to show up on your Wall. For anything that is spam or should be deleted, click the appropriate link on the dropdown menu.
- Make sure you check your Hidden Posts regularly!

Thank you so much for the explanation! I've been going crazy the last couple weeks trying to figure out why no one was seeing my posts. Now I'm guessing Facebook is marking my posts as spam. Extremely discouraging because I am posting legitimate comments.
Do you have any recommendations on how to prevent facebook from marking things as spam? Because if I can't get them to stop, then there isn't much value in me using my page to interact with others.
Also, would you recommend contacting the owner of the page you posted to and asking them to check their Hidden posts?
I really appreciate the tip, I have spent so much time trying to figure out why no one could see what I wrote and had almost given up.
I never actually noticed that before! Thanks for enlightening me once again!!
Thank you for this reminder – I had several that were hidden
I was wondering what that was for?! I just made a fan page for my blog and didn't get around to checking what the "hidden posts" button was for. Thanks a lot for letting me know!
That is really good to know! Thanks for sharing!
Amy,
Have you heard of anyone else having trouble with their fan box not showing up on their webpage? Every time I log on, it seems it doesn't come up or finally comes up after a couple clicks–any thoughts?
You have to make sure you are logged into FB as yourself (personal profile) and not as your page. For example, when I go to your blog, I don't see your FB Like Box if I'm logged into Facebook as Blogging With Amy. However, if I go back to FB and switch to my personal profile and then go back to your site, I see the box.
Thank you so much–that is a great help–thanks to you, I also learned to make a button:)
I don't know how I never noticed the "hidden post" link there! Thanks so much for the info. I had several that were hidden as well.
I just went in and rescued blog posts today. Wow! I didn't miss any of them, because they did show up in my notifications, but I didn't realize that they were in Time Out. Bummer!
Thanks for the tip.
I had to do this daily on my old page (nearly 10,000 fans), but on my newest page (only about 2,000) it doesn't happen as frequently. It is like Facebook hates us.
I just saw this was happeing on my biz page. However, I have the new timeling and cannot find the link to Hidden posts. Do you know where it might be? Thanks!!
