Mashable - The Social Media Guide: Facebook News Feed Broken For Some Users

  • Hadass Eviatar · 3 months ago
    Thanks, I was beginning to think I was losing my mind! My News Feed is completely wonky, things keep appearing and disappearing, sometimes in multiple copies.
  • jordanday · 3 months ago

  • ELISA · 3 months ago

  • Dave Elchoness · 3 months ago
    It's true. It happened to me. And I'm completely confused and distraught. This is why we need the public healthcare option for psychiatry.
  • Isabel · 3 months ago
    Yeah, we are suffering that in Spain too!
  • Robert Vann · 3 months ago
    I was just about to tweet about this ridiculous FB status FAIL, but noticed the article in my tweets instead. FB FTL, mashable/twitter FTW.
  • Jose Rojas · 3 months ago
    I've been seeing this bug off an on for weeks now.
  • jdblundell · 3 months ago
    mine and my wife's are busted. she thought it was just her profile and ended up deleting all her lists out of frustration.
  • ry263an · 3 months ago
    ya its really annoying. I thought i was going crazy.. but This just solved my problem, all my feeds are from saturday.. so now how do i keep up to date w/ my friends!!!
  • jenp · 3 months ago
    use twitter
  • ry263an · 3 months ago
    i DO! lol but a majority of my immediate friends don't really know anything about twitter, facebook is just easier for them all
  • andi · 2 months ago
    how about calling them? ever thought of that?
  • Raph · 3 months ago
    Have experienced this problem on and off for days now. Quite annoying.
  • alex · 3 months ago
    I have having problems too
  • bridgettobin@aol.com · 3 months ago
    yesss
  • Helio Navarro · 3 months ago
    a mi tambien me pasa, i a veces ni si kiere abre el facebook
  • chloe · 3 months ago
    i thought it had somthing to do with the fancheck virus.
  • Rachel · 3 months ago
    I was told the same thing, remove the fancheck application as it has a virus, I did that and untagged myself from friends fancheck but still have problems. Maybe it was a virus that has done some damage already?
  • Piers Gray · 3 months ago
    No it's definitely not the fancheck virus, because i've been suffering as well and i have not been anywhere near the fancheck application or been tagged in any pictures put up by the application. Apparantly theres a new layout to facebook coming soon so it may be problems with them updating the site
  • Chris Boivin · 3 months ago
    Thank you SO MUCH! Thought I was going crazy or victim of some whacked out virus or something (and that may be the case, but still).

    My news feed has been showing the same feeds, no right-hand feed of photos/posts, and no options to show older posts or to view my own wall/status updates. It comes back every few refreshes or so, but just really annoying.

    On the iGoogle widget, however, feed is fine. So must be w/in main facebook page?

    hope it gets fixed, but again good to know that others are enjoying this annoyance. Thanks!!!
  • glorybeful · 3 months ago
    Facebook is acting reeealy strange today! The Feed is being goofy!
  • JustDotDotDot · 3 months ago
    Also I am seeing a lot of issues with the chat bar and sending chat... Duplicates, slow sending, and lost messages.
  • Gabe Ortiz · 3 months ago
    Broken for me too.
  • jassigal · 3 months ago
    Thanks for helping me to confirm that I wasnt the only experiencing such problems with Facebook!
  • Stephanie Dawson · 3 months ago
    Thank you for being so relevant and reporting this! So it isn't just me having this issue. I wonder if it could be linked to that "fanpage" app used to check and see who your biggest fans or stalkers of your page are. Today I heard that the app should be deleted because it plants a virus on your FB page in 24-48 hours. However, I was not having trouble with my news feeds until I removed that app. Hmmm....
  • Ingrid King · 3 months ago
    Started having problems yesterday. I'm assuming Facebook is aware of this and taking care of it? I know we can count on you to keep us updated.
  • Dan · 3 months ago
    Same problem here in uk.
  • Jewel Trotman Fryer · 3 months ago
    Yeah,
    Sometimes profile pictures don't show up. Pages slow to load, multiples of things, things missing.
  • imjustmike · 3 months ago
    I had this problem using the Opera browser, doesn't seem to happen in Firefox for me though... Weird
  • Suzanne Hight · 3 months ago
    I'm using Firefox, and it's been a problem for at least 48 hours, so I don't think it's browser related.
  • Sean Long · 3 months ago
    Yeah, using firefox here, too ... and also getting the same sort of issues.

    Repeats and out-of-orders I can live with. It's losing the whole feed that's a problem for me.
  • Mark Anderson · 3 months ago
    I'm having trouble with the Like link. Just redirects me to the top of the page and throws a DOM error.
  • Gary Winter · 3 months ago
    Thought I was going mad... sometimes last weeks stuff, refresh and its back to normal then gone again...
  • LindsayMAllen · 3 months ago
    My account has been doing this since yesterday, but it's gotten MUCH worse today.
  • PT · 3 months ago
    Latest Facebook update is from 2hours ago :\
  • Scott Allen · 3 months ago
    Broken in Firefox. iPhone is fine. Facebook work holiday blues...
  • PeppeC · 3 months ago
    aaaarrrrrrrrrggggggggggggg!!!! :@
  • Aaron · 3 months ago
    Yep I've been having that problem recently. Posts from as long as a week and a half ago were popping up and everyone was out of order, chronologically speaking.
  • Carol · 3 months ago
    I'm having time warp issues with the facebook newsfeed. One minute I'm seeing items from 3 or 4 hours ago, next minute, I've travelled back to the future.
  • Jennifer Bunker · 3 months ago
    Some of those problems have been going on for weeks. Further, this weekend, several of my FB friends disappeared completely from my view, although they could log on and see their own page. When one of those posted on my page, the comment was there, but no picture or identifying information was showing. For several hours yesterday, a long series on comments on one of my status updates disappeared from my view, but could be seen by others visiting my page. Emails from Facebook now take several hours to show up, as do notifications. On and on and on. Disappointing. </rant>
  • suzd · 3 months ago
    It is acting VERY weird. I had posts (friends, news, etc.) showing this morning then at 11 a.m., they disappeared and the last post showing was from a friend at 11:13 p.m. last night. Each time I click "home" posts show up, then the next time I refresh, the go away. It is very strange...and a bit frustrating.
  • @mwaddell · 3 months ago
    Yep - mine's all jacked up too
  • Leila Taylor · 3 months ago
    At least 30 of my friends today (and myself) are having this problem intermittently in the past few days. Mostly claiming it's the Fancheck app...... It's still happening
  • David · 3 months ago
    My news feed is completely wack...also I can't send messages (it gives me a convoluted "HTTP Error #12152"), and chat seems to be really slow. Many of my friends have been complaining about it too...

    I agree, status.facebook.com would be an AWESOME idea...I'm honestly surprised they haven't implemented it already...
  • Steve Tolley · 3 months ago
    Sad Face*
  • jefftb · 3 months ago
    Yes, I am having similar problems. Old news items are showing, it will say I have new feed items, but they just more old ones.
  • aliguana · 3 months ago
    yeah, mine goes like this: today 6pm, Friday 9am, Sunday 2pm, today 8pm... and if you refresh it then it goes all Pete Tong. Started around 3:30 gmt today.
  • Michael Moore-Jones · 3 months ago
    Yeah my news feed is absolutely screwed! Is it related to that application that some believe is a virus or something? It's called Fan Check.
  • mehterr · 3 months ago
    for the last 3 days it happens 2 me 2... greetings from istanbul... ;)
  • Christina · 3 months ago
    I'm having problems too...
  • suzd · 3 months ago
    Maybe Facebook is doing this on purpose just so we realize how much we NEED and LIKE their website. hmmmm....
  • @rreedpc · 3 months ago
    For several days I have been having posts doubled in my Facebook news stream. Not all of them, just the first five or so, but it's annoying.
  • Nicola M. · 3 months ago
    Déjà vu in Italy from this morning... :(
  • SKITZ31 · 3 months ago
    yes mines been funny for hours now, its not saving posts,showin old status updates and the chat box is playin up !!!!!!!!!!! was happening to other of my friends too !! NOT HAPPY
  • Samantha · 3 months ago
    Yep, have had newsfeed acting up on & off this afternoon.
  • saamimatloob · 3 months ago
    First the DNS Service error and now news feed error ..facebook seriously needs to pull its act together , i been getting this error from yesterday , and facebook is running a lot slow as well.
    Is there any word from facebook on this.
  • farmertomato · 3 months ago
    Facebook today is like Groundhog Day--the same news feeds over and over. Completely unusable for anything for me. Facebook has no mechanism for feedback or contact of anything else--they're sort of living in a fool's paradise with no real communication from their users. This doesn't look like it has a good future.
  • jtthegreat · 3 months ago
    Yep, me too :(
    Thanks for the heads up though. :)
  • Autostrada80 · 3 months ago
    Live Accidents: Police smashed on a highway! TO see video click on my nick name
  • Name · 3 months ago
    Yup, I am having the same issue. Usually refreshing a couple of times gets things cleared up temporarily.
  • JH · 3 months ago
    Yes, problems noted on my fb page. I'm trying to stay calm about it ;)
  • Sarah · 3 months ago
    yes, been happening for a few days now. huge chunks of time go missing on FaceBonk. Earlier it was only showing a few posts from over 8 hours ago. Now is showing a few posts from the last hour then a gap of about 12 hours - hitting Ctrl+F5 gets a different selection of posts every time - still, this has happened before, a few weeks ago - i'm sure they'll fix it eventually, they usually do - still, a tad irritado
  • Joffrey · 3 months ago
    Same problem.
  • Singulus_Director · 3 months ago
    Apart from disappearing a couple of times, this cured on 'reload', It's not my Facebook Tumblr Newsfeed Application thats recking havoc. It's this new HTML Source Editor and it's associated 'Preview' Application. It's good to know it's not personal, however.
  • Striggity · 3 months ago
    I'm definitely experiencing these problems. at first I was able to filter through friend groups and see the current updates, but now that's not even working. ugh.
  • wild · 3 months ago
    Yesterday was caotic. Today has been ok, but tonight it got even worse than yesterday! Now I get only old posts, and noone from the last hours! :-(
  • JacquiBee · 3 months ago
    I've been having problems since yesterday!!! I'm glad I found this site...
  • Danny Bixby · 3 months ago
    Despite this happening to my facebook feed, it's fairly fixable...at least for me.

    When I notice it starting to be messed up, I just reselect the news feed from the top left...ish. Simply reloading facebook, or returning to my homepage doesn't seem to fix it, but I've yet to have a time where reloading the news feed deliberately didn't fix the problem.

    I know that seems absurd....but here we are.
  • Ken-Tore · 3 months ago
    The news-feed didn't update for several hours. Then it updated, but repeated the same updates over and over again. Looks like they are having serious problems. My wife encountered the same issues on her account.
  • aww2417 · 3 months ago
    Had problems on and off all week, but today is by far the worst.
  • frodoguy · 3 months ago
    Yup, having problems here too. The news feed does not update, cannot change to networks or any of the other categories. My profile wall shows only my own updates, nothing from friends or apps. The news items on the news feed are out of order and some are as much as 2 weeks old.
  • Lori Anderson · 3 months ago
    I would rather have old feeds and be able to see my FB page than not being able to log in AT ALL... due to 'maintenance'
  • Lori Anderson · 3 months ago
    Account Unavailable

    Your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. It should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience

    What a bunch of BS.. a few hours my @$$!!! At least some of you can SEE your FB page... this message has appeared every time I try to log in... for the last 24 hours!!!!!!!!!!! freaking douches couldn't even let users know...I am so PI$$ED OFF!!
  • Zoe Nicholson · 3 months ago
    I am missing 2.5 days. It leaps from 58 minutes ago to Friday. Pesky Mercury went retrograde Friday night and will go direct on the 29th. It is interesting how it feels like getting the morning paper without entire sections. Wish I could call the newspaper carrier and ask for a new one.
    In any case, yes FB needs a status line - like tweetdeck has.
  • Kate O' · 3 months ago
    It's more than the news feed for me, it's all of Facebook. As I just said on Twitter, "Am I banned from Facebook today or what? Every time I go to log in, it's as if I'm trying to get into a trendy nightclub in sweatpants."

    It's the dreaded pink error message that keeps popping up, saying there's some sort of maintenance with my account. Who knows. I'd sure love to see it resolved quickly, though.
  • haha · 3 months ago
    IT's working now ahah. I clicked on this link for mashable to read this article and all of a sudden my fb started working fine.
    LOL
  • Trystian · 3 months ago
    I'm not having any problems with the news feed but my facebook profile has been displaying an "unavailable" error message since usernames were rolled out, around early June I think. Facebook support has not replied to any of the multiple bug reports I've sent. I'm really not impressed with their service, for obvious reasons.
  • Mo · 3 months ago
    Mash, It's happening to all my friends who incidently have installed the FanCheck app.Something very fishy. Blocked, removed and reported, newsfeed seems fine. Some guys can't even remove the app
  • Hellow · 3 months ago
    I'm getting things as old as August 20th.
  • indri · 3 months ago
    Thank's for the confirmation..., i thought only my FB that running news feed error.

  • Austin Harris · 3 months ago
    My feed is all screwed up.
  • Suzanne Hight · 3 months ago
    I've been having problems with my news feed for the past couple of days, tweeted about it numerous times. Are all their support people off for the holiday, or are they simply not paying attention?
  • Andrew Ballenthin · 3 months ago
    My group page has not been accessible all day. It keeps saying "Page unavailable
    We're sorry, this page is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. Please try again in a few hours."

    This has been going on for over 9 hours now. I have all my research resources aggregated there for the book I'm writing. If something gets messed up I'm in a very serious world of hurt.
  • Evan Pederson · 3 months ago
    Just started seeing this in my feed too. I freaked out at first because I live only a couple of miles from where the "Station Fire" in Los Angeles was burning, and one of the top items on my page was a days-old post from a friend saying it was out of control.
  • Bonnie Irving · 3 months ago
    I Just got on Facebook and Noticed that... It said there was 19 new posts... when i clicked on them. they were ones from friday and saturday and Yesterday...
  • Kimskah · 3 months ago
    I am having a very difficult time today reposnding to posts. I also got a message from a friend in my Inbox, and all it says is "Hi." This person ALWAYS has more to say than that, so I am wondering if FB is getting hacked....
  • helkington · 3 months ago
    i am also seeing old status and not being able to get some peoples photos up when i have already looked at them before
  • steelerfan · 3 months ago
    I cannot even get in to my FB account. Says it is down for maintenance and has been like that all day. My kids can get into theirs though.
  • Kimskah · 3 months ago
    I am having a VERY difficult time posting and reposnding to posts. Also there are issues with photos. I found a message in my Inbox from a longtime friend, and all is says is "Hi." She is DEFINATELY not a one word person, so I am curious if FB is getting hacked...
  • hyprcaffein8d · 3 months ago
    Glad to know it's not just me. I can't even facebook connect to mashable. I was in the middle of a 'discussion' through my comments. I would like pick up where I left off. The entire weekend is missing for me. Goes from late Friday to last evening.
  • Sue Cosby · 3 months ago
    Happening for a few days but today is over the top. Newsfeed is totally wonked, old posts showing up left and right. Even people I have hidden are showing in the feed. What? Oh, no --- I never hide any of my dear friends. That was a misprint.
  • steelerfan · 3 months ago
    I have not been able to log on all day. Says down for maintenance but my kids can get into their accounts with no problems.
  • Name · 3 months ago
    Not only is my news feed on the blink (intermittently shows only posts from a sev days to a week ago, then shows todays if I log out and back in) but if I click on a friend's name from the news feed it doesn't go to their page AND deletes all their posts from the news feed - you guys have a really big problem, better get on top of it as I'm def. not the only one experiencing this. You also need a better system for reporting problems.
  • Beverly Bryant · 3 months ago
    Me too.
  • Suzanne Hight · 3 months ago
    Oh, and what does it say when you have to go to Twitter to find out what's wrong with Facebook? Are you listening, FB? How about some two-way communication here??
  • WonderRandy · 3 months ago
    yep - it's all over the place. Refreshing the page sometimes helps, or sometimes remixes everything...
  • Sam · 3 months ago
    I was beginning to think it was the "Fan Check" app that was causing that, but obviously not. :P Well Facebook needs to sort itself out!
  • hellojamie · 3 months ago
    I had the fancheck app installed and was experiencing the same issues with my page. I immediately uninstalled it AND changed my password and my news feed returned to normal.
  • athoob · 3 months ago
    Yes Newsfeed has lost its memory. In fact it's been like that for couple of days!
  • Kathy Fowler · 3 months ago
    Facebook will tell me there are 19 new posts. I click to get them, and get the same posts I already had (the most recent being several hours old), but no longer any message about new posts. I can refresh and still not get anything more recent than a few hours old; refresh again and finally (maybe) get current posts.
  • Karen · 3 months ago
    For what it's worth, I noticed last night that I was getting old news feeds and I thought it was weird so I logged out. Now I can't log back in at all...not even on my iphone. I get a message stating "Account Unavailable Your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. It should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience". I'm hoping this message is a sign that the Facebook people are on it and are fixing the issue. Although, I've been trying to log on for about 5 hours now.
  • helenmcg · 3 months ago
    I've been unable to access my facebook account all day as have several of my friends and family; the message is account temporarily unavailable for service but that has been for 12 hours now.
  • Matthew Lowery · 3 months ago
    I have it, and I thought I was the only one lol!
  • Proscenium · 3 months ago
    Midwest, USA... News Feed all over the place... repeating entries... entries appear and disappear, then reappear when returning to home.php... 14 to 28 "New" items at a time... and the usual nonsense with FB Chat moofing.
  • docqualizer · 3 months ago
    Facebook has been giving me the site maintenance message now for over 7 hours...And I noticed yesterday a huge hole (albeit momentarily) in the posts from my friends. Maybe Facebook is finally feeling some growing pains...
  • ivagancheva · 3 months ago
    hi everybody, I have the same problem. I hope this Deja vu to stop soon :) from 2 days I`m reading the same information, not very nice :(
  • Richard L. Floyd · 3 months ago
  • MaxRyerson · 3 months ago
    Same - my feed is all over the map. Whenever I revisit it from another page it's entirely different with posts from various dates over the last two weeks. Also entirely different depending on the browser. Also having problems sending message using IE8: simply no send button and the To: box goes off the right side of the pop-up box. Message work fine in Chrome though. Am in France right now in case that makes any difference (i.e. have people in different parts of the world experienced something different). Love the idea of the status page.
  • Johny Ho · 3 months ago
    Problems with the feed? It's been completely down for me the whole day.
  • Kevin Fernandez · 3 months ago
    Been having this problem since last night.
  • gerry clancy · 3 months ago
    I have been having this problem last two days now it keeps repeating meesages from hrs back i need to hit refresh button every two second just to get updates.When it shows up uyou have 2 new messages whan i click on it it takes me back to the same posts that i read 5 or 6 hrs ago its starting to get annoying now wish they would fix it soon only so much you can put up with
  • Burak · 3 months ago
    Read this just when I was wondering if it was only me. This problem has been going on for me for couple of days. News feed not updating, skipping some updates. Comes back and goes!
  • Jen · 3 months ago
    Mine is down as well. Everything is coming through with mixed up dates. Multiples of the same post from days ago and I'm even not getting the option of clicking on "older posts" at the bottom of the page. It's getting really frustrating!!!

  • jess · 3 months ago

  • woodytyronewoodchip · 3 months ago
    Yep mines the same, only showing random odd ones from days ago, then repeating the same 10 down the page, no new ones are coming up at all, and my facebook chat isn't working either >.<'
    But at least i 'aint the only one :)
  • Victor De La Torre · 3 months ago

  • Sandra Price · 3 months ago
    yup yup. me too.
  • Mim Eisenberg · 3 months ago
    In addition to the news feed problem, what's happening when I click on a link to a comment on a post (either from e-mail or Notifications) is that I'm sent to the user's main links page, not to the specific comment.

  • Lo in SoJo · 3 months ago
    was just googling a few hours ago to try to figure out what was going on. agree that a status site for fbook would be great. i assumed info would be on the facebook blog, didn't realize its just an advertising forum for the site.
  • Sean Boulton · 3 months ago
    Workaround - don't click the "x new stories" link that appears at the top of the feed. Just click your "home" link instead, and it'll load the new stories properly.
  • anthony faber · 3 months ago
    I've been getting this and recommend the following:
    1. Click on the "Home Page" button at the top of the facebook page.
    2. If that doesn't work, try it again. No luck?
    3. reload/refresh the page. Still bad?
    4. go to your mailbox or your profile then back to your home page.
  • Name · 3 months ago
    Some of my status updates and photo uploads from my mobile phone today never made it onto my profile--weird, because others from today did, it was inconsistent.

    My news feed is also acting weird with loads of deja vu moments, but to add to the problem, our Facebook page is down for maintenance for 8 hrs already! That makes me very upset.

  • Omayra Serrano · 3 months ago
    So funny that this article came out cause I seriously thought it was just me. Stuff would come up from days ago and I'm like, why is this showing up again! Ya, seriously, Facebook needs to be more informative when things aren't working quite right. Thanks Mashable for bringing it to my attention that I haven't lost my mind!

    My problem is with using Facebook on my G1 cell phone. I have been experiencing problems for the last few weeks starting with losing my comment button first, not being able to see friends list, then not being able to read email, to yesterday's Dejavu wherein status newfeeds were from the day before yesterday. Obviously it's virus related and I don't know what to do since this only happens when I use Facebook on my G1. Please help.

  • lespearson · 3 months ago
    LOL - QUOTE 'a minor inconvenience' NO! the whole idea of the website revolves around the feeds. Especially for the game feeds such as Mafia wars. With the feeds broken you may as well close down the site! It would not take two seconds to knock up a clour coded Status Legend at the top of the feed page. Green - all is ok, Yellow - maintenance expected or underway, Red - down due to major problem. Job done!

    Thanks for the heads up , I know a few others that had the same issue, but nothing was being reported 2 hours ago about it. You guys always come thru!
  • hieplt · 3 months ago
    It's like the displaying of Frienfeed data in Facebook some days ago: Many old data was displayed in FB. Maybe this messy because of the same reason, FB and FF are trying to do something in the lab?
  • lorrainemk · 3 months ago
    mine's been off kilter all day, repeating old feeds, putting things out of order, bringing back 32 old feeds at a time etc. seems to be better now, but....

    Interestingly enough, mine has been screwed up since at least Saturday night. Didn't work right for a while, came back, went away. Seems to come and go.

    Yes, things look okay on my FB feed now but earlier today and some yesterday were out of order or just older and not new posts. Thanks for this info.

    I added some people for app games & tried to set up the privacy rules ALL day before it finally took but, that's the only thing it finally did. The rest of the day I haven't been able to do anything without getting kicked out or slow feeds - apparently the same thing that everyone's going through. I sure hope it gets fixed soon!

  • GH · 3 months ago
    FB has screwed up my photo album! After showing the pics for several weeks, they are now not showing up! Only the comments about the photos are showing up. And of course, FB has no one to complain to...just their FAQs, which are basically useless. WHERE ARE MY PHOTOS??? They only show up if I "edit" them.
  • Baylink · 3 months ago
    Yes, the News Feed has been intermittently broken all day, in a way that suggests that they're playing with the code, and it leaked into production.

    Items will be sorted in odd orders, instead of reverse-chron, hidden items will be displayed, non-hidden items won't; hitting F5 to refresh will sometimes bring up a normal page, sometimes bring up the same broken page you had, and sometimes bring up a *different* broken page.

    I wish someone would remind them that AJAX doesn't have to be used *everywhere*; base pages can still be sent in their entirety.

  • JC John Sese Cuneta (謝施洗) · 3 months ago
    For me, it started last week then it stopped a few hours later. Then it started again now.

    I think every service online must have a status page. It could be status.something.com or something.com/status/ (or they can just redirect one to the other).

    Will be very helpful if we have status pages ^_^

    This morning, this problem has struck me again ... in a new form: the newsfeed keeps telling me I have no items to display, AND NO FRIENDS. When I go to directly edit the newsfeed, only three peopel show up ... out of over a hundred. :(
  • Sean Long · 3 months ago
    Oh, and in a possibly-related issue: one of the games I play, "Mafia Wars", is having trouble sending/accepting Join requests; people I know I've added as friends send in-game Join requests, and when I accept them ... the app reports that "we're not friends".
  • Charlio · 3 months ago
    Yes, I am having problems with my posts from my iPhone and my computer no matching. If I post, comment or delete something from the phone it sometimes doesn't show up on computer and visa versa. The MOST frustrating part is that there is nobody to talk to at FB!
  • hugues · 3 months ago
    I have pb with my feed since saturday night. For your information, an hoax is available in a lot of feeds (at least in french) saying that FAN CHECK may cause those pbs

  • Resmetho · 3 months ago
    Facebook has gradually been going crazy over the past week. Yesterday it timed me out after I was looking at something in another window for like 5 minutes, gave me the Facebook white screen of death when trying to load the homepage, news feeds are sporadically going back in time, and then there's that stupid developer idea of notifying everyone when anyone writes anything on a discussion board you've posted on in the past 2 years! Annoying!

    my facebook hasnt been loading at all for the past week and half?? does anyone kno what this could be is it to do with 3 network??
  • Gogs · 3 months ago
    Yep. Those people's status I can see I get 2 copies of, the rest I can't see at all. I've had blocked/hidden 'friends' and apps re-appearing on the homepage too. Technically speaking, it's screwed.
  • Name · 3 months ago

    i thought it was my computer at first, but it is facebook causing the problems. My news feed is screwy or I get FB has failed. I can't leave a comment and why do I keep getting Sat and Sunday news when its Tuesday.
  • Sharon · 2 months ago
    I noticed this article a few days ago but hadn't had this problem until just now. My news feed is out of chronological order and not refreshing. The news feed filters are not working correctly either. I'll keep checking back to see if it's been fixed, but until it is, I'm off to twitter.

    So far, there's no acknowledgement by Facebook on its own Facebook page that anything's even amiss.
  • jb · 2 months ago
    Ditto, all screwed up this morning. News feed and all filtered lists show the same junk... an unsorted mixture of a couple of yesterday's posts combined with a bunch from Sept 4. Every few minutes it works correctly for a couple seconds, then breaks again.

    I think its a dodgy app called fan check. if you have used this app or have been tagged in on of the pictures it produces then you must delete the app and/or untag yourself from all fancheck produced pictures.

    Some people's status updates are missing from my feed. My feed has been weird for a couple of weeks, with status updates that are a few days old appearing as if they're new, and some current status updates not showing up.

  • Mike · 2 months ago
    News Feeds used to show everything but after a little while, nothing. Tells me to add more friends so I can see info in the news feed. Funny thing is, if I add back a hidden APP, the nes feeds reappear for a little while but will eventually disappear again. I can click on the Links/Status Updates/Photos on the left side and see everything...but not everything in the main news feed like I used to. Annoying as hell and I cannot believe FB hasnt fixed this issue yet.

    Recently, in addition to suffering from Facebook feed Déjà vu, I have also experiencing other posting difficulties. Some time I wan't able to enter any post, or I couldn't find any of my posts. The option setting for my News feed never works, it tells me there are hidden post, but when I click the option button it tells me there is nothing been hidden.

    My Status Updates from last week have all disappeared on my profile - but only when I'm logged in as myself. They are there as normal when I log in using a Friend's data.
    As for new Status Updates: they show for 1 second, then they disappear (when using my own log in data) - but they all do show up in the News Feed....
