Facebook Has Problems With Latest Release

Facebook released a new version of their site code in the past few days and it has been causing some problems. A number of people contacted me regarding issues they were having. One person in particular had problems with CSS files not being accessed properly and as a result pages were breaking. Another person contacted me to alert me to cross-site-scripting vulnerabilities in the current version of their code.

While I don’t know all the details behind cross-site-scripting vulnerabilities, I do know that it tends to be a popular method for hackers trying to maliciously access websites. As of yet I’m not sure if the vulnerability has been resolved but the new version clearly has some issues. These types of issues have frequently arisen previously and Facebook has typically been quick to respond. This is just part of running a large site.

It would be great if Facebook gave a more thorough browser test as well as security test on their staging server. Then again, when your site is being accessed by millions of users on a daily basis, something is bound to go wrong that you couldn’t have even tested for. Have you been having problems over the past few days with accessing Facebook? 0

I havent had any rendering issues but this morning I could not login…then I saw an email from the facebook saying my password was no longer secure and I would need to create a new one. I didnt know what was up, but a few coworkers have had the same issue this morning…I wonder if it is all related?

Yeah, I have had a similar problelm as Andrew in that I haven’t been able to log in. I am having further problems in that when I try to reset my password, it emails my now defunct college email… Lame.

Andrew, your account was probably phished, Facebook resets passwords when this is detected and removes spam sent from your account.

My wife probably had the CSS problem last night — she remarked to me that she was seeing screen elements overlapping strangely…

Where to start!

Facebook completely broke all CSS for 20 minues site wide last week.

Then they have some servers that are mangling the CSS (this happened for 18 hours site wide last Friday, but is now intermittent)

Currently I’m seeing them try to scroll the Invite form into view. I have one page with the invite form at the bottom, and it scrolls that page so the user can see it (Forced Invite anyone?)

“Another person contacted me to alert me to cross-site-scripting vulnerabilities in the current version of their code.”

I would like to know more about this from a technical standpoint. I may be wrong here, but aren’t most FB apps hosted on 3rd party servers? (I’m just starting to study FB myself, so I am new to the conversation) ie. servers owned by the developers of the app? Wouldn’t it be prudent to allow certain amounts of cross site scripting in the first place and then limit access to the server to such scripts via the servers own configuration files?

If users are complaining about scripting vulnerabilities shouldn’t they first look at their server configuration? Well, that depends on the nature of the bug. Who are these people and can you provide a reference for their concern? I would love to check this out in more technical detail.

I can log in to facebook but the pages are not loading properly, they take ages to load then when they are done, it doesn’t look at all like the normal pages do, it is all spaced out and simplifyed, it’s been like that for 2 days now.

Cause everytime I go to facebook the page is all messed up, and no images load, also it says Javascript is disabled;well its not…….. anyways when I go on firefox and I use the web developer application; while on the facebook page, I look under CSS and it says that all of the CSS is disabled, so I enable them all and refresh the page, but it all goes back to “messed up mode”, anyone got any solutions?????

Whenever I even try to get to facebook (ie, type in http://www.facebook.com into my browser window), I get automatically redirected to http://www.mtnl.com. What’s up with that?? And if I try to get around it by typing in the more detailed addresses, then I get the “page cannot be displayed” message from IE. Grrrr!!!

I have been having issues with facebook today. Whenever I try to log in my account will come up for a split second and then the internet application I’m running will close. This has happened with both firefox and safari. It will close and just say that there is an error causing it to quit unexpectedly.

I have to try logging in about 20 times before being able to do it successfully and after only a fex mintues it logs offf. there is no problem with the password but instead of logging in to my home page it gets redirected to the log in page.

p.S. i just read comment number 9 by Tasneem and it looks like we have exactly the same problem except that it’s been going on for at least four days.

I was on Facebook for 20 minutes last night and today Safari opened the page and suddenly shut it down and I can’t get back on. Everything else is running and loading fine.

For about two months now I cannot get facebook to load properly in any browser. At first I thought it was a Firefox issue, but now I am having the problem in IE, and Flock.

Essentially what loads is the mobile site, and I can’t seem to get around it. I’ve cleared the cache, deleted all cookies, and temp files, and it still wants to load the mobile site. I can log in, but it’s a pain to browse a mobile site in a full browser.

I can’t seem to find anyone anywhere discussing this problem, but here.

At first I had login problems too, but they have finally progressed to where the only way I like accessing facebook is from my phone, and that loses a lot of functionality especially when it comes to pics.

I am having the exact same problem as the last post (number 14). It seems to load what looks like a mobile version of facebook. This started 2 days ago. For now I’m only having this problem with IE. I can view facebook properly with Firefox.

I can't even get in my new facebook now. I already loathe it. trying to transfer my friends back to myspace.

Yes! For the past couple days facebook chat has not been working. It says the number of friends online is “undefined”. Then last night I tried to log on, and it doesn't look like facebook. You get a white screen with some words in black (times new roman ish) and there are some squares where I guessed you could put in your username and password, It will log you in, but you see no pictures, no nothing. It's so sad! I've been having problems with other sites today as well, so I don't know what's going on. AIM and Hotmail haven't been working too well either.

OMG! facebook totally works on firefox…..I don't know what's up with internet explorer then :(

Help! I cannot post or click on any links, including friend requests. I have written Facebook 3 times and they have done nothing, not even notified me that they received my message. Do you know what I can do? I am tempted to delete my account.!!!!!

Since a few days my Facebook account is not working well.I have requests from friends which r pending. I'm trying to click on the requests to accept them but there is no response. Can someone help me please?

Hi,

I cant access Facebook at all, it takes forever to try and load to the home page.

I am having no luck with accessing facebook, its been happening the last few days but this weekend it has been consently.

Can anyone who can access facebook advise them there is a huge problem? or is the problem only happening with me, can anyone else get on to facebook

ps… For the people who can actually get to the login page is lucky… mine doesnt even load to the login page.

the new FB has caused so many problems

About two or three days ago, both my wife and I on different computers and different browsers experienced the same problem, the site now appears in a strange narrow format down the left hand side of the screen, almost like a mobile type of format as others have described. It is awful and we have no idea how to fix it! It sure would be nice if someone had an idea what we are supposed to do about this!

how the hell do we log in to facebook i get to put my email in and then i can get into my page but nothing loads up …….i dont see anything not even my inbox ????? can someone email and let me know what to do to get it working again ………..tbalina@hotmail.com

I have an application on facebook using PHP. But the problems are
1. The applications area are small and full pages are not coming in this area. No scrollbars are coming. Pages are cut off after some portion.
2. After login in facebook account, user can not move back to its account from the application server. This is happening only in IE browser.

Please help me asap.

My wall has disappeared. I cannot update my status, I cannot open my applications,I cannot open notifications or chat. And at the bottom left of the screen I see “error on page”. Facebook hosts, all you have to do is send us all a message saying yes there are problems and yes, you are working to fix them. Thank you.

Since Friday, November 7, 2008 I cannot get into any facebook applications. I can open my facebook page, write on walls, send messages, change profile photos, but cannot open Bumper Sticker, Pack Rat, Flair, Green Patch, etc. . . every time I attempt to open I get the standard
“INTERNET EXPLORER CANNOT DISPLAY THE PAGE”

Very frustrating. . . . . . . . .

Since a few days my Facebook account is not working well.I have requests from friends which r pending. I’m trying to click on the requests to accept them but there is no response. Can someone help me please?

Any suggestions?

I have only had my Facebook for less than a week, and am already extremely frustrated with it. It told me to change my password. Now it tells me that my e-mail address isn’t even registered there. It’s strange to me that if I don’t, how am I still getting notices that I am being signed as friends to different persons that I know? HELP!!!

I seem to be having some of the simular problems as others. When I do get on facebook it will not let me do anything. If I try to update, or go into another area it just sits trying to connect. I can’t get into anything. The bad thing about FB is you become very addicted to it. I use it to stay connected to all my friends and now I am totally out of touch. :(

my page is all broken cant find any messages etc please help

I cannot access my facebook or hotmail account when i try it says my password on both are incorrect can you please help me i dont know what to do have set up a new email addy to reply to regards

This new facebook is a dam pain!
It needs reverting back to the bloody old one

Facebook User - March 23rd, 2009 at 2:11 pm

I’m having the problem of trying to go somewhere on the Facebook website and it says that there is a problem with it. It mainly happenes after i try to log on to yoville and then other places after that. Please do somthing to help Facebook… this is really annoying!

I too am having the same problems as eveyone else. I manage to log on but then I get a message saying that there is a problem and the page closes down. The problem is only with Facebook!. I agree it is really very annoying!

I have been having a problem with FB for the last week. When ever I bring up FB it asks me to log in even though I have checked the remember me box. Then when I get on, every time I change a page it asks me to log on again. I have emailed FB 5 times in the last week, still no answer or resolution. I am very annoyed and frustrated.

Once I sign into facebook I cannot view my page. Please help me. Is there something I need to turn on or off?

Once i get on the site my homepage won’t load, I can’t see nothing please help.

I have to try several hours to get on to my account..It keeps telling me that it there are maintanance problems…It has told me this for 48 hours now….I have managed to get on 2 times in the past few days….Are there really problems with my account like it tells me?

I am IT (37 years). Did you test this release?

Many of the pictures of my special friends (my Shih Tzu EWOK and WOOKIEE) are not showing up, and that upsets me greatly.

Last night, I was clicking on my pictures and displaying someone else’s dog. Other clicks retrieved nothing. Are the addresses to my pictures lost?

I have not been able to use facebook in days. Won’t load. All I get is a white screen with a few words/links at the bottom. Useless. I have no idea why it wouldn’t work for me when it does work for others.

Genesai Black - June 10th, 2009 at 5:53 pm

I have been using Facebook with no problem until 20 minutes ago. I was doing fine on Firefox and Internet Explorer (with IE running better than Firefox for most applications). I closed Firefox browser and tried to open Facebook on IE, and whammo!!!…For some reason that has just popped up a few minutes ago, I can’t access the homepage at all. When I enter the url, the login page flashes for a second and my IE browser automatically and abruptly closes. Can anyone out there hint me as to what causes this? It must be a Facebook glitch because I can access all of other internet activity via IE.

Hiya I mainly access Facebook via my mobile but the past couple of days all I get is a white screen. any ideas what I can do to fix this?

I also cant open the webpage i tried to open it in a different broswer but nothing. I can use any other website whats up with facebook?

Facebook won’t load. I get a white page and nothing else happens. I have tried different browsers to no avail. What is the problem?

well i am still able to get to farm town and to my inbox but as far as my profile or homepage…. nothing. it shows im logged in but all i see is a blank page. it was been going on for several days now and im wondering if this will ever get fixed or if it does, i hope it will be soon.

I can only get to farm town by going through the farmtown forum. I can’t click on the red F or pull up applications. I can get to pet society by clicking on the paw print.

I can’t add no comments to facebook, can’t go to any other apps. Its been like this for several days, its gotten so old.

i have been having problems with facebook for the past 3 days. i log in and everything but i can’t access my profile and home pages, etc. if someone send me a message about another person’s profile, i can usually see it. for example, today i was sent a notification to add pictures and comments to secret profile for a friend’s birthday and it worked, it did everything. but trying to get back to my info was a headache. i keep getting “a tab has been recovered. a problem with this site caused internet explorer to close and reopen this site”.

For a few days now I haven’t been able to get into my facebook account. I keep getting the message that Outlook Express has shut it down due to an error on the facebook page. Huh? I can sneak into my inbox via a link I found on search for “finding new friends”…but as soon as I try to go to my profile, homepage, or a specific friends page…it gets shut down by Outlook Express. Any suggestions?

Get Digsby or the FB yahoo widget and you should not have anymore problems w/fb

Yesterday when I logged on I saw that Windows (Vista) had updated numerous files. When I tried to log on to facebook, I was informed my password was incorrect. I tried a few more times, ultimately changed my password. When I tried to log on again, Facebook started creating a new account. I stopped after putting in my birthdate, realizing what was happening. I changed my password back to what it was before. Today I logged on to my account at work and everything was fine. I tried tonight at home to put in the code from the last password change, however, when I went to log in I couldn’t get to my old account. It is still trying to set me up a new account. Is there anything you can do to delete the account (same name & email address) that facebook is trying to start. I want my old account back with all my friends, Farmtown & Bowling.

I get into the Favorites to get to Facebook and it reads (code) I put in the 375 code it gave me and says go to your e-mail,but there is nothing and it tells me the code is wrong or changed.

So annoying! Couldn’t log in because password was incorrect, tho it wasn’t, had to request password change, said they sent e-mail but haven’t gotten it (more than 24 hrs ago) Tried opening a new account, big mistake, ended up with 2 new ones that I don’t want. Don’t want my friends
far away to think I’m ignoring them!

I havent been able to get on facebook on my computer at work for the last two days. I don’t get this because my pc at home pulls it up fine. I really wish they would get these problems fixed. I am just so frustrated

I am a new user to facebook. I can log on and see my home page. However, I can not accept new friends or send a message. The statement “Loading” appears and nothing happens, (even after 5 min).
I have tried turning off my security software, PC cillin.
If I use my husband’s laptop, with Sophis, then facebook seems to work for me.
Can you tell me how to set my security settings so that I can use facebook.
Thanks,Ann

I am having a lot of the problems everyone else is having. What is up with this?? How long do we have to wait to get the problem resolved?? I am tempted to find another site and take my freinds and family with me. Please resolve this issue.

Seem to have the same problems as everyone else, thought it was my decrepit machine and mobile link. Any idea’s when it will be back up and runing??

Help! I cannot post or click on any links, including friend requests. I have written Facebook 3 times and they have done nothing, not even notified me that they received my message. Do you know what I can do? I am tempted to delete my account.!!!!!

I can’t log on to my account and it keeps saying that there is a “site issue” and it should be resolved within a few hours. However, it is not resolved and when it finally does let me on I can’t see my “wall”, only my info page. Others can’t even view my profile. This is quite frustrating.

For the past few days, I have not been able to COMPOSE a message in my INBOX. I try to fill in the usernames that I’m trying to send the messages to & the message box simply disappears.

i have been having problems with facebook for a few days now… not jus logging in, but all sorts ?? can any 1 help?

Haven’t been able to check messages, play games or leave comments. Now I can’t even log into my account. I keep getting an error message that due to maintinence my account is unavailable try back in a FEW HOURS. Good grief hours?? I hope its fixed soon because its already been more than that, more like a few days from the looks of the other posts.

When I try to download anything like Farmville it kicks me off telling me my internet connection has been shut down. I can not confirm a friend request and am constantly getting the error on page message. Any ideas?

Could you please help me,when i keep adding my girlfriend to my friends list she is only there for a few hours then she dissapears from my list ,when i go to her name it says my request is pending….could someone please answer this question…?

Set up a new account several days ago. Today it said I needed to enter a code but I never got a confirmation email to get the code. It was being sent to a valid hotmail address. Can anyone help? Is there something I am not doing?

I have not been able to log on to any of my usual apps, keeps telling me I’ve changed settings and I have not.
Then I will get a re-direct error message.
Please help.

I can’t login my farmville and farmtown since yesterday after they said they had a technical problem and takes 24 hours to fix it. Before this I can enter my farm but they fix the problem,I can’t enter my farm and what upset me is all my gifts that my friends gave to me are missing after I accepted their gifts. At Farmtown,I am not only lost my gifts but also my hedges that I bought and so is the coins.
What really happen. Its turn bad to worst after they fix the problem. HELLO I need help here.I love my farm and hope you guys do something about it ASAP.

I have had difficulty logging into FB and accessing features from my homepage, when I take either action this crazy script I’ve never seen appears on the full page and at other times partially.

I have not been able to log-in to face book for the last 2 days. Says there is a problem with the log in page. Is anyone else having this issue?

I haven’t been able to log into Facebook for 4 days.
Says account unavailable. Have tried password reset and it says it isn’t available at the moment.
Have emailed Facebook 4 time for assistance and not received a response.
I am really frustrated as I need to access this in order to contact some friends I am visiting in a few days time.
I need help urgently - any suggestions?

I am not able to access my account either Michaela. It says the account is unavailable because of site maintenance. It’s been 3 days for me and no one has contacted me regarding it, really not sure what to do!

Try updating your browser, delete your history and clear your cache…that’s all the help I can give you.

Since a week more or less I cant log into facebook anymore because it tells me “wrong Email/Password combination”! Im using a password I used for over 6 years and spell the name at least ten times the day, and it allways worked fine until now! Ive been asking to reset my Password, but no Email arrives to tell me how!? A friend still sees my profile and is able to enter it as friend, but I cant anymore! Strange and sad I find!

the website will let me on it but i can not do anything there.please fix the problem.thank you

Glad to hear I’m not the only one having problems with their Facebook account. I havent been able to login for 3 days now due to site maintenence. I sent an email to their help area. The response they gave wasn’t related to my issue.

I am having problem accessing the wall section of Facebook. It just goes to a page that states that the page cannot be found. What is the problem? 10-07-09

i’m having problems with viewing my profile page,i can only view my home page. i cant view my profile page and my friends also cant view my profile page. please i need help asap

I haven’t been able to get on facebook either due to this site matenance issue. All my friends are ok but me. Please someone help me fix this

I have had the same problem..site maintenance for the past 3 days. I received one email from facebook telling me to sent them details on my issue. I have sent another email with no response. I am not impressed!!!!

Exactly the same issues here. haven’t been able to log on since sat night! What is going on? Site maintenance? What is that all about?

For the last 6 days I cannot log on, Account Unavailable comes up, Your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance, it should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Whats up, my friends cannot get my page either.

Any ideas?

It’s been 9 days now since i have been able to log into my account due to ’site maintenance’.surely a massive online networking site as large as facebook should be able to sort it out? its so frustrating,no replies to emails etc
What is going on????

I have had to change my password each time I try to log in. This is becoming really frustrating! When will they have the kinks worked out?

For the last 2 days I cannot log onto Face Book. Page just keeps trying to reload. I use Chrome and Fire fox and both do the same thing.

I know it is not my computer since everything else loads up just fine.

I log onto facebook and it shows facebook wall for few seconds then I get kicked off.
Before I would type in facebook so I can log on and it would automatically let me into facebook with out asking for password. It skipped the log in page and password. Strange, I always log in and put my password in, I never save my passwords. So I deleted all browers , temps, cookies and passwords so I can get into facebook… this time I did log in, but still few seconds into it got kicked off and directed to another open page I was on on different tab.. What to do? I would like to get on.
I never could get on to farmville,,,,,when I first tried..I had problems ever since on facebook with different things…is farmville the cause? Is Someone hacking in? Help

There are still a lot of issues with facebook. I hope they will fix it soon. pages wont load, chat not working right, freezing browsers in apps, plus much more. It is really a struggle playing their apps.

The last 24 hours I have been unable to access my facebook account. It tells me the account in temporarily down due to site maintenance, and to check back in a couple of hours. It’s been over 24 hours. BUT, my husband can access his account perfectly fine?
What’s UP? LAF

So ive been having serious issues with my facebook account and its getting really frusterating..
when i try to log in it takes a million times before it actually logs me in then once i get in i try to check my inbox of messages and it keeps telling that there is issues why it wont let me view them and when i try to look at my friends request it wont let me and when im online it shows there is 0 contacts online to chat with then all of a sudden people will try to talk to me and when i try to talk back to them it says i dont have permission to chat with that person.. its very very frusterating! i cant view anything!!! pointless!! please help me!!

The last 10 hours it is not possimble to log in to my fb account.It tells me that there is a technical promlem to the site and to try to log in again but I’m still having the same promblem.MY ACCOUNT IS NOT AVAILAMBLE.What am I suppose to do?

I have been playing farmtown for quite a while now. I really enjoy the game. I have been on level 34 for about 5 weeks i still can not connect to that levels gifts. Each morning i go on i have lost the fuel i had in my gift box the day before. As of this date i have lost over 10 fuel gifts and i can not use my seeder machine. The white line under my points has not moved in a month or more is it suppose to move I now have over 23 million pts. If you could help me with this i can advise other players who have the same issue. thank you very much.

as of this morning we were not able to get onto facebook at either of our computers. Is there a major facebook issue that has caused this? If there a recommended course of action for internet explorer users?

Hi, read through the posts above and feel as if the issues I’m having fit right in.

I can login to FB but cannot go to the FB tab. I can access my profile but that’s it.

No games - Mafia Wars, Yoville, etc.

When do you think this will be fixed or should we be doing something?

thx - Barb

I can get on to FB, but I can’t get to my profile page? i can do a search for myself and see some of my wall posts, inbox, friends, but if I click on the profile tab, i get an error message.

The last few days I have not been able to get into Farmville or Cafe World. I can access my Facebook page and other friends’ pages but not the games. Please help,and soon. I’M ADDICTED TO THOSE TWO GAMES!!

Thank you,

Linda Zettner

HELLO FACEBOOK!

LATELY I BEEN HAVING PROBLEM IN WORKING ON FACE-BOOK. I CAN’T LEAVE A COMMENT BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT POST, AND THE CHATTING SITE HAVES A PROBLEM TO START. THE ONLY WAY I CAN LEAVE A COMMENT IS ONLY WHEN I USE MY CELL PHONE! BUT IT’S NOT COOL AT ALL BECAUSE I WANT TO BE ABLE TO CHAT TO MY FRIENDS IN FACE BOOK! PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO THIS MATTER! THANK YOU ZYNE TRUEVINE!

and the beat still goes on, nothing but problems, really, the site is useless to me right now, what the heck is going on???? and WHY ain’t it fixed yet?

Bleh…………

Vietnam….Cannot access facebook Login page as I receive a message “DNS Unknown”. What has changed? I checked if the government has banned the site but have unvailed no such information. Any suggestions?

I can’t access the facebook homepage. I can go to my own profile but when I click home I get a blank page. I have no problems on another computer. Also some apps like happy aquarium wont play for me. What can I do?

I am having a problem with my status updates. I can update it but noone can see it but me… Is there a way to fix this?? Help!

I cannot connect to facebook at all, I am in Vietnam and have been unalbe to access facebook for 2 days… whats going on????

Hi, I’m in Vietnam too and like everyone I can’t get into Facebook, each time I type the web address it can’t find the facebook server. Is there a problem with facebook? Can anyone verify what is happening? Thanks.

all of my requests have dissappeared

I got message to say facebook would need to the IE8 version to work to it’s best capacity. Now I’ve done so, I’ve not been able to connect to home page or even own profile. I can see what friends are on, that’s after hrs of waiting for ages for it to get that far. It’s more than frustrating as I thought FB was a fantastic avenue to tune into friends and family. Least on IE7 I’d have a few issues of cross messages but still be able to tune into friends n family.

COME ON FACEBOOK - GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER. SURELY AFTER X AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS YOU’D OF SORTED THE ISSUES OUT BY NOW!

I can log in to Facebook but the homepage doesn’t load..it gets stuck halfway..after looonngg moments of waiting it says “done” but d page is blank but d menu bar shows. when i click “home” it tries to do something but nothing happens really..same thing with “profile”..d only thing dat works is my inbox..so i access applications there etc. Being on Facebook supposed to be fun,relaxing and getting/keeping connected, but so far, i only get loads of stress from this. I hope this will be sorted out ASAP. thank u Facebook people.
