Facebook forcing me to create an event when I just want to do a post?

Tech Support

I wanted to do a quick post to my organization’s FB page to let people know about an upcoming event. I wanted to just post a paragraph of text and a photo of a flyer, but FB won’t let me do that. It’s insisting that I create an event. It will not let me post it without doing an event.

Is there some way around this? I don’t want to take the time to create an event. I just wanted to do a quick little post. I even tried posting a test comment and then editing it to swap in the info I wanted on there, but then FB again insisted I create an event.

Any help is much appreciated.
