After Hiding a Friend on Facebook, How Can You Add Them Back?
When someone posts too much on Facebook -- or makes a few irritating posts -- a convenient option is to hide him. This stops his posts from appearing on your Facebook wall, but does not remove him as a friend. Unless you tell him that you hid his posts, your friend never even knows that you did so. At some point, after your temper has cooled or if you simply miss your crowded news feed, you may wish to add your friend back. The way to do so is not particularly obvious unless you know exactly where to look.
