With the way Facebook works, it is crucial to be sure all posts you have scheduled to Facebook are spaced well.
We've found making sure there's at least 5-10 minutes between any post leaving your account is helpful in the extension having time to upload and publish your media (and is a good deterrent of Facebook not blocking your account for posting too fast!).
To aid in this, you have a Queue tab located on your PostMyParty dashboard.

If you find that turning the extension off on one computer ends up turning the extension off on both computers, your Google account settings need adjusted.
