  • My Facebook account is broken

    Ok, I know this is a long shot, but...

    My Facebook account is suddenly totally hosed.

    My News Feed is blank. My Timeline is blank. Messenger is gone. None of the items on the bar -- Friends, Notifications, Help, etc. -- work at all. I cannot post new messages.

    I have tried clearing the browser cache, closing and restarting Facebook, using a different browser, rebooting the computer.

    My primary browser is Palemoon. My second choice is Opera. Facebook does not work at all in either. In IE, I am able to access a friend's account. From there, I can "see" my Timeline, and it *appears* normal, but I cannot post to it as one normally can to a friend's Timeline (assuming proper security settings).

    In Lunascape, Facebook is usable, except that it continually resets to a zoom level unpleasantly small.

    I have *not* tried disabling add-ons or creating a new profile. Since the problem arose out of nowhere in the middle of the day, and since it persists across multiple browsers, I see no reason why the problem would be add-ons in one particular browser, especially since they did not change in the middle of the day.

    Suggestions?

      Not sure if this is related but... Facebook’s latest Messenger update for iOS is making the app crash constantly

      I'm always still in trouble again

        if it doesn't look normal in firefox or chrome, then you should probably email facebook support. Maybe they can reset it.

                Facebook on my laptop, to be more explicit. I don't have a smart-phone, so it never occurs to me to specify.

                Anyway, it fixed itself, just as it broke itself.

                I used alternate browsers for about a day. The experience was not pleasant, but at least FB was usable. I also checked in every few hours with my favorite browser. The first many times, it did not work. Mostly blank page. "F" logo in the corner, items on the blue bar present but non-functional. Then, suddenly, all was back to normal.

                  It was fine on my laptop. And like you, FB just all suddenly fixed itself on my phone. Haven't checked my Asus, but I guess it's the same.

                    sounds like you might have picked up a virus or something DB.

                        I'm assuming it was the odious FB engi-nerds engaging in their habitual unnecessary tinkering.
