Facebook users were disappointed when Facebook was started giving trouble to its users yesterday.
Facebook users in the United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Thailand, and other nations had to face difficulty logging in the site while others were shut out. Some users came across various troubles like difficulty in uploading photos, posting on each others wall.
Many of those users started reporting the problems on Twitter, with many of them venting their anger. The most affected were the users from US.
Facebook itself used its rival site to announce the problem, tweeting, “Some people are having trouble accessing Facebook . . . We are working to fix this ASAP,” from its Twitter account.
“Because of isolated server problems, small percentage of users faced problems accessing Facebook, and some specific profile features,” said Facebook spokesman Matt Hicks.
The problem is resolved now. Spokespeople for the company said technicians had isolated the problem and repaired the server. Around 5:30 p.m. Eastern, Facebook announced the problems were all clear.
Facebook has generally eluded hiccups such as yesterday’s wide-spread problems and has never shut down completely. Ironically, Twitter has generally had more technical glitches than Facebook. The entire service was down for several hours last August after getting hacked.

It is not fixed. I started having problems Saturday morning. It is Sunday afternoon and I still cannot get logged in to my profile.
404 – Not Found
Nothing is Fixed. I and a bunch of others can get on myspace but not facebook…Since you have been screwing with making FB a better site, it has been nothing but a screw up…and I am not the only one who is tired of the BS. Sorry, but FB is going back into the “Dark Ages”…you don’t know, or the Dip Stick who made you think “he knows what he is doing” has caused some advertisers to wonder why they should spend money on problems…problems you make for yourself.

Links stopped working yesterday afternoon: 1. Page with Requests for Gifts links do not work. 2. Apps will not respond to “publish” while playing games…only “skip” works…or click on the x to close the “publish” window. I also noticed my little “lock” is no longer on my profile page and I can’t post on it. For about 3 min. late last night I was able to post and accept 1 gift and then the same problem returned. 3. The css home page only allows 10 posts to be seen. Adjusting the number of post to see is no longer there. Many of my family post never showed up yesterday…my grandchildren had post I did not know about:(
The problem IS NOT fixed. Nothing works from my mobile. At all.
