Bit of a weird one maybe, but I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this.

I have my own personal FB page but I also have another photography page - not for commercial purposes (I'm not that good!) but I do like to post what I regard as my favourite images there. I recently uploaded an image direct to the page (as opposed to uploading it to an existing album). I can see it and lots of other recent images on the FB app on my phone. However when I'm viewing via a browser on my macbook, I can only see much older images on my timeline - although the images are there in the Photos section.... Unless I actually opt to use FB on the browser as XXX Photography (the name of my page), in which case the Timeline is up to date with all the recent uploads showing!

Obviously I want anyone visiting the page to see my recent images without having to go digging into albums to find them.

I've had a good look around privacy settings etc. but I can't figure out why my Photography page is behaving like this.... Any ideas?
 
They are marked as public and I know that they are visible to anyone within the actual albums. It's the fact that they aren't displaying in the Timeline that's odd. And the fact that they are visible in the phone app but not on a browser (have tried two).

Anyone following the page is clearly getting notifications of new uploads - as I get 'likes' from them when I post. But I also get 'likes' from non-followers with who the image has been shared, so it's definitely not a case of the wrong permissions having been set.

Very frustrating as I'd like to build up the audience for the photography page but if folk are coming across it and only finding old images on the Timeline from months ago I can't expect them to follow the page.
 
It is not unusual for Facebook not to show your own content in your timeline

Yeah I know but when I'm logged in as my photography page - that's when I CAN see the images in the timeline... it's when I visit the page as myself that I can't....

Here you go. Most recent images are Lackagh River and before that Millennium Bridge. When I look at the timeline as a visitor however, the most recent entry is an upload of images from Scotland - in December 2014!

Thanks for checking that Neil, still mystified as to what's going on but good to know that they are visible to you.

Yeah but you misunderstand me Keith.... based on your logic, it wouldn't be strange for me not to see the images in my own 'Brian Maguire Photography' timeline when logged in/using FB as 'Brian Maguire Photography' - but I can see them. It's when I log in/use FB as myself - i.e. just Brian Maguire - that I can't see these recent images which, to all intents and purposes, are on another FB user's page, if that makes more sense....
