Some Facebook posts not visible

I'm not a big Facebook user, but recently I've experienced an odd problem, hopefully someone may be able to help.

I get a notification on my phone (Android) that "Your friend <name> has posted in <group name>".  When I click on the notification, it takes me to the group page, but the post is nowhere to be seen.  I've tried playing around with the settings to show New Posts, Most Relevant, etc., to no avail.
But if I log on via my Windows desktop, lo and behold I can see the post.  This has happened a few times recently, in different groups that I'm a member of.  Since I can see the posts on my desktop, I'm guessing it's not because I don't have permission to view the post or anything?  Most strange.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • There appears to be a few strange things of late with FB. eg. Until recently when viewing and fb page, whether you are a member of the page/group or not, by clicking top rt, you were able to "save to Homescreen", but no longer.

    Also, using www.facebook.com was the norm, now there's basicfacebook.com or mobile Facebook.
