Issues with Facebook

[DGS49]

On my Chromebook, for some reason I can't use Facebook. I bring up the page, but it stops after one or two postings and the rest of the page is blank and inoperative.

FB is the only site I cannot use.

What is up with this? Is there a setting that needs to change?

Try Ctrl-F5 to do a full reload of the page when you have it open in your browser. This is supposed to re-load all of the scripts and support files for the open website. If you just browse there directly, your browser will use whatever matching scripts it has in cache.

If that doesn't work, you could clear all browsing history, but you will have to log in to ALL your sites again. That's a pain if you have a lot of sites that require passwords.

Before clearing your browsing history, you might want to wait a day and see if it works tomorrow. It might be facebook, not your chromebook.

Facebook is for girls. but whatever.

I have many, many issues with Facebook. Like being banned awhile back because they though I was a "bot", then being welcomed back but having to provide a picture of myself to prove that I was a real person.

My wife uses Facebook because she can keep up with family members and work stuff, but I can't stand it. I have an account but never log into it.

Better off without it anyway.

The marketplace is the only thing I use now....And that is seldom.

I don't think I have any FUNCTION keys on my Chromebook. Above the number keys there are keys with icons.

From Duck-Duck-Go AI (probably the same as Google AI)...

To perform a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) on a Chromebook:

1. Method 1: Press and hold the Search button (usually located near the top row of keys) and simultaneously press the number 5 key (F5).
2. Method 2: Press Ctrl + F5 using the on-screen keyboard or the physical keyboard. On some Chromebooks, you may need to press Ctrl + Shift + F5 instead.

Note that some Chromebooks may have a physical F5 key, but it’s not a standard feature. The above methods are the most common ways to achieve a hard refresh on a Chromebook.

Additional Tips:​

• If you’re using a Chromebook with a physical keyboard, make sure to press the correct keys (Search + 5 or Ctrl + F5) instead of holding down the F5 key itself.
• If you’re using an on-screen keyboard, ensure that you’re pressing the correct keys in the correct order.

Again, I ain't got no F5 button. Instructions for a hard RESET (not "refresh") are to shut down the Chromebook. Hold down the RESET button (while it's still off), then lift off the REFRESH button after it starts up.

That don't work neither. But I'll try a few variations not that theme.

My only advice is to anyone on Facebook, delete it.

Anyone who needs to keep up with family, do what folk did before and after the invention of the telephone - send them a postcard or letter, or ring them.

At one time we had to go to a mates house, knock on their door, and then call them an asshole. Now it's done in an instant without getting up off the couch.

Good advice: delete facebook. It is an invasive spyware app used for no good purpose.

Call or visit your friends and family in person!

I did not read that in the advice I got or gave. Nothing about shut down and reboot. Just press the keys while your browser is open.

Psychology wise, it's not healthy, and as you say, folk are just giving so much info away on themselves.

Research has shown that folk have 3 to 5 close friends, the other 100+ on the friends list are nosey.

I was just on years and years ago.

Maybe many did, anyone you recognised from school, you sent a friend request. Then friends to a friend etc.. Before you know it, you have a few hundred friends. In time, you have a cull and unfriend handfuls at a time. My girlfriend and I hand a joint friend, a lass from school in my year. I never spoke to this ex-class mate, so I unfriended her. The girlfriend gets a message from ex-classmate if somehow she's upset me, so I added her back on. It's called estrangement.

My sister, her boyfriend called Wanker, my son, my niece (sister's daughter). Long story short, I tried helping my sister and Wanker out, but I had to kick them both out, they were stopping with me for a planned time, but he's a wanker. So a few weeks later, I called by my mother's and she said, "You lot and Facebook, causing problems". I said, "What on earth are you on about?". Apparently, I've told my son to unfriend my niece. So I rang my son and asked what's going on. As my son just left school, he deleted his Facebook account and set up a new account, but he never got round to sending invites out. So basically, my niece noticed, mentioned it to my sister. So Wanker told her that I must have told him to unfriend her because of the fallout. So I rang my niece and told her that I don't even have both sons on my friends list because if I do, photos of their mother will come up. I divorced her. So I never speak Facebook with them. She wasn't interested, no apology, and said, "I'm not interested in the petty arguements between you and Wanker". So I told her, my sister, and Wanker to all fuck off. Never spoke to them since.

And then the attention seekers, "Oh, I'm so mad". "What's up Hun". "Can't say, pm me".

And then to the idiots advertising when they were gonna go on holiday, I replied, "Thank you for the information, think I'll go and burgle your house while you're awat". Just to wind them up

So the psychologists were right, so I deleted it.

Then I got a text off my brother, "Have you heard the news "sister" has cancer of the blood". And after all the shit, there is such thing as karma.

So Facebook, WhatsApp, InstaWhatEver and so on, I always advise folk to delete them.

I have YouTube, and I don't comment on it.
