Facebook

Is it me or is facebook loading slowly or not at all sometimes ?

Using opendns.

This web page is not available
The connection to www.facebook.com was interrupted.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this web page later.
Check your Internet connection. Reboot any routers, modems or other network devices that you may be using.
Add Google Chrome as a permitted programme in your firewall or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted programme, try deleting it from the list of permitted programmes and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure that the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, adjust your proxy settings: Go to the spanner menu > Options > Under the Bonnet > Change proxy settings... > LAN Settings and deselect the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox.
Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

Not having any problems with other sites.

Still having problems with it loading, pain in the arse as I'm meant to be doing some work on a facebook page for a client

This alone will keep me out of the IT sector for the foreseeable future. Too many "sites" and companies think Facebook is a good alternative to a proper website.

It pays the bills though

I'd agree with you Ben but unfortunately a great number of people spend all their time on Facebook so that is how companies advertise to new customers these days even if the aim is to drive traffic to their own site.

I wish Facebook would disappear along with Twitter.

I use LinkedIn which was supposed to be a Social Network for professionals but even that is now being invaded by the drongos that inhabit Facebook.

I can't stand LinkedIn, I know I should use it and do something with my profile on it but I just can't be arsed!

Glad to see this affecting others too, I thought it was just me or Facebook, although no one else I asked on FB were having issues.

Looks like they've been changing things again, which is causing it. The news display has changed from highlighted to top stories. I imagine there are a load of other changes too, but I havent checked.

Remeber seeing something somewhere about timelines now being enabled.

Loading speed of the homepage is now back to normal for me by the way, can't speak for the other stuff as although I'll try and help anyone on the forum I can I won't be sigining back up to that again.
