Not only is Facebook unethical with user data, but their untallented
developers seem to be mainly good at getting in each others way.  I'll bet

FB doesn't own any browsers so they're not important.


Didn't you hear, FB is for old people now.:-)



Yeah, my ex-wife probably has FaceBook; another reason for me NOT to have it..

Well, I mean more hosed than usual, of course. FB is hosed by design.
:-)

The problem with that statement is that it implies that Facebook was designed. 
It is a perfect example of software that grew up without adult supervision.

Re: really OT facebook help

I hate to tell you Dave, but if you're using Facebook, you're beyond 
help.  Not only is Facebook unethical with user data, but their 
untallented developers seem to be mainly good at getting in each others 
way.  I'll bet that the changes were only tested on the Facebook mobile 
App, because well FB doesn't own any browsers so they're not important.

Re: really OT facebook help

thanks Bruce. I thought it might be after trying it in all 3 of my
browsers. I posted from my phone ok but it only shows up in my
timeline and not in the3 news feed.

Agree with your comments.

My wife complained to me about this exact thing this morning, Dave, so
I'd hazard a guess that FB is presently hosed. Try again in a couple
of hours.

Well, I mean more hosed than usual, of course. FB is hosed by design. :-)

really OT facebook help

[David J Brooks]

Need some help if possible. On all three browsers on my Mac ( Firefox,
chrome,safari) when I try and post a status update I get a transparent
blackish screen and the status box disappears. I click on an x on the
black screen and it goes away but the status box is gone. Have looked
on goggle but nothing thees sites suggest have worked. Just started
today no recent uploads. I can access and Send from my phone It seem
to be ok with that, using Chrome.

Ontario election coming up soon and i need to post my rants.:-)

Plus i cant do a lot on the phone that i can do via the computer.
