Okay shoot me now, but I need a computer techies help for this one!

When I load up face book, it keeps giving me script errors, which means the pages don't run properly and functions don't work, like sending messages, wall posts, anything basically!

It's starting to really irritate me as it basically has rendered the programme useless to me.

I have cleared the Internet history, temp files and cookies, flushed the dns, but nothing is helping.

Any suggestions? I'm suffering withdrawl over here!

Hi Chocs, I am having same issues so most probably it's on FB's side. I think it will be sorted out soon.

From what I have seen with the occurence of these problems, as they are using more and more AJAX (behind the scene transfer of data without page refresh/alteration), there might be some issues occuring from it "behind the scene" also.

Honestly, I think they are over-AJAXing.

I'm on etisalat and I just logged onto FB but everything's fine with my side...

btw... I'm using Microsoft Internet Explorer v7

what browser are you using?

this will be important to sort it down fast!!!!

why don't you try using firefox and see what happens... or just wait it out for a couple of minutes then clear the internet cache then visit FB again...

Just a comment, my Facebook is working fine

Tried all of that! This is on my work laptop. On my personal one at home it runs fine. I have tried turning off spyware and firewalls - no good!

It did work okay for about 2 hours yesterday, but not working today.

Maybe your company has installed a firewall

Oh and FYI, no one else in the office has an issue. So it's either something on my laptop or my actual FB page.

hmmm... do you have 3rd party apps installed on your browser?!?? try resetting your browser on default settings...

Mine's a bit different, it works at times, and you encounter scriptiong errors at times. At home or in the office, same same.

Ok!!!!

go to internet options in your control panel and move to advanced tab and click restore advanced settings button then try FB and if still not then, in general tab of internet options click settings button under browsing history and check the option everytime i visit the webpage and for the disk space to use keep 8, then try FB now, if still not again then try updating to the latest version and try FB.. this may solve the issues....

PS: If you're using IE!!!!!!!!

but the odd part is a day before FB was accessible using the same laptop along with the same browser settings!?

have you tried visiting other websites that has heavy scripting apps featured??

Done all that! No change, still doesn't work!

Also my MSN Messenger just decides to boot me off, and refuses to sign back in again!

and your the only one in your office experiencing this problems right now ?!?

you can try this at your risk!!!!

in the advanced tab of your internet options click Reset button under reset internet explorer settings and try FB...

if not then get the latest IE version and install it again!!!!!.....

Tried using Firefox - still doesn't work. Same issues.

Trying to get updates for explorer but it's taking ages.

Yes, I am the only one with these issues, so there has to be a problem with my laptop or FB itself!

AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Nothing works!!!!!

try using this browser then!!!!

http://www.google.com/chrome

give it a try!!!!!

Can't. Software upgrades and add ons have to be done by IT.

They just upgraded me to Explorer 7. Guess what? Still no change!

...in relation to the topic, developers are having issues as well.

But how come it still works from home, and even the guy sitting next to me is having no issues!

upgrade it to IE 8 and restart your laptop then give it a try!!!!!

AJAX is good, but too much of it? No, thank you. Irritating.

QUOTE (An excerpt)
Here's a piece of advice for those who prefer reading millions of bytes of Facebook musings to fine literature: Facebook said was still trying to decide how to handle the issue of archived "Soundboard" messages. (Right now, only the most recent 20 one-liners appear to be accessible at any given time.) Pride and Prejudice, however, remains available at your local bookseller or library.

It's very difficult to explain it without covering several pages of this board...but it's something like when you send an sms over new year and it doesn't go because of network overload, sometimes it's first come first serve...well the difference is, mobile tells you message unsent or network is busy. With AJAX that works behind the scene, the message is behind the scene as well when problems occur.

However, this is just one angle of the story. It might be possible that your problem doesn't have any relation with this at all.

By the process of elimination in my FB problem case, it is definite that my scenario is caused by this.

FP, I'm sorry but I didn't understand any of that.

The problem is PHP script errors! It is in ONLY on my laptop! So clearly I need some sort of software upgrade or something to fix the PHP response errors.

So I have found nothing on the net that can help and no-one else seems to have a clue.

Hi Chocs,

Try this page http://www.mokatrade.com/prof.php

This page uses PHP & AJAX. Navigate by clicking "Next Product" button

If it doesn't work....we can therefore conclude.

Nope, that works fine! It's not FB, because I hopped onto my work mates PC and it works fine!

It's my piece of shit laptop!

I think you might have a conflict with some Add-Ons in your laptop.

Sorry, I couldn't help much. It's difficult when we can't touch anything.
