Facebook

[Scarlett]

Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I'm going mad and only had one response in technology. I am on facebook and have all these new (old) friends wanting to be my friend, which is just super. However, several of the links have just stopped working. I click on them and nothing happens. So I can't reply to messages, confirm friends or update my status. This started happening yesterday. I even can't message facebook to ask for help!
Does anyone know if this is facebook or my PC's problem? THANKS so!

Are you using a different PC? Because that happens to me on the computers at work, but at home it's fine.

Is facebook just a UK site out of interest, have just seen someone on there who could possibly be related to me and would like to know.???

Facebook started at universities in the US - there are people from all over the world on it.

As to your prob Scarlett, I've had that on FB occasionally too - normally sorts itself out eventually.

Are cookies enabled on your PC?

[Scarlett]

I'm not sure Sasha. How does one enable cookies?!

If you are on facebook, please have a look at this. I was on it and got out when this came to light. It is up to each individual and many won't be bothered by this, but I found this report really unsettling. I felt that by staying on facebook I was condoning this kind of bahviour and control over our privacy. But, you must make your own mind up. Best wishes

Facebook and your privacy ...

[Sasha13]

That's an interesting report that you've posted - I must admit things like this did cross my mind, but it's easy to set up your profile so that there is no personal information - and anyone who puts phone numbers and email addresses on any public site deserves what they get if you ask me.

Scarlett - to check for cookies go to 'tools' then 'internet options' then select the 'privacy' tab at the top. If this is set too high it may affect Facebook - mine's on medium and I have no problems - just logged on now ok.
