Facebook won't load

Post by twl845 »

Hi, For some reason, Facebook either won't load at all or will eventually, and then I can't navigate within Facebook because other pages won't load. Its been like this for a few days. It's the only site that has the problem as far as I can see. Does anyone else have this problem? My first guess would be that their server is down, but for 3 days? I suspect it might be something else. Thanks in advance.

Works for me. Have you tried clearing your cache?

Thanks for the response. I have FF, Opera, and IE on my computer, and it does it on each browser.

I am having the same problem. Both Mozilla & IE. Eventually it loads but it takes a really long time. It's been 3 days now. I know other people in my area are using FB with no delay.

Thanks for the heads up. I can't even unsubscribe because even if I finally get through, I lose them if I try to click on another page. :crazyeyes:

Maybe do a malware check.

Did a malware scan and a AV scan and I'm clean. Other than not being able to load Facebook, my computer is fine. Thanks for the thought. :)

My Facebook mysteriously came out of its coma, and has been OK. I hope I don't have the problem again.

It's not your cache. It's not even you. It's at the facebook end. As I said in my original post, I think it might be the server that feeds you. As I said in a subsequent post, all of a sudden it just cleared up and has been OK ever since. If it happens to me again I'll delete it.

Hey something I came across with firefox. Try loading it, wait for it to freeze and then click stop in the browser window. When I do that I can hit the login page but you have to do it for subsequent pages as well

I have been experiencing this for awhile now and that works sometimes.

They appear to be doing some upgrades with some 'user name' feature. That may be causing it but I don't know.

i am from bangladesh. i am having the same problem for last 10 days. i have tried reinstalling the operating system(both win xp xp3 and vista ultimate). tried IE6,7,8, opera, safari, firefos, google chrome... no hope. facebook just doesn't respond.

i have formatted root drive several times. i am completely virus-free for sure (symantec corporate edition, updated even yesterday).

even more astonishingly, everybody around me is using facebook, no problem at all. also, i used another laptop with my internet connection, no problem.... i just don't know what to do....

If anyone finds out the problem I also need a solution. I can use my computer for every internet site I need except facebook. I can not navagate throught the pages. Very frustrating. I am using Vista, perhaps when I upgrade it will fix itself.. :(
