Facebook issues

Facebook, tonight is making me feel like a mental patient. I update my status, or comment on something else, I refresh, and it's like I never did it. So I re-enter what I had to say, and then I have a double post. Sorry to bring up a facebook issue

Is it just me?

BTW, I have tried a re-install, with no joy.

This happened to me with a comment on my friend's status today.
Not sure exactly why it's happened at all

I think facebook has sucked for the last month, and that excludes the chat, as that has sucked from day one.

I'm glad you've tried reinstalling FaceBook, as I was about to suggest you do just that.

Mine has been fine, but all I've done is spammed a few peoples walls with silly youtube vids!

I do that on a daily basis, but I found that it isn't as good as a fresh install.

I don't think they can cope with the volume of users. They've released a thin version of FB for people with 'slow connections'

Perhaps they should sort their infrastructure out before blaming the users broadband!

I think when it comes down to it, this is the issue, do they not claim that they have 250m users, which is the same population as the United States.

I for one, welcome our new(not exactly new, and I'm sure google would have something to say) facebook overlords

Yeah, data mining ***.

This is half true, the went back on themselves, when they though that they could claim copyright over all photos posted. The Only bad thing about facebook is he apps, which, when they appear only my page, I hit 'hide said application'

Surely the point of the new Facebook lite is for those who live in countries where broadband is not the norm rather than as some sort of excuse for problems they are having.

I would happily use facebook lite. It grates me that they called it facebook lite, but it's better than wading through crap.

You know what I hate, I get a notification, and I get all excited, but then, you realise it's someone that has tagged you as a capricorn (insert your star sign here)

Yep, mines a bit buggered at the moment as well. Keeps throwing up error messages.

Are you getting mainly 'ajax' errors or 'network' errors? I seem to be getting both at the moment.

Seems to be working as advertised for me at the moment.

Well if their servers couldn't handle the banality of the great unwashed they would never have got facebook off the ground now would they

That is true, but if it is true, how the hell did bebo ever get off the ground. Does anyone with an ounce of intelligence use that? I doubt it.

Off topic, but as uninportant as facebook is it raining as hard where you live as much as it here in east London? I hope it lasts till when I decide to go to bed, as it really lulls me to sleep!
