Hello, well I have noticed that the last few days I have been having trouble with facebook. It seems to load slow anymore, and not only that but when I am on my apps it seems to go even slower. I know that my mom said hers have been acting the same way too when she is on it. I in fact was on it this morning and then decided to get off it and do all my earning sites only for today because of it. I like too be able to play on my facebook at the same time as working but it does not seem to load as fast as it use too. So do you have the same problem as I do? Or is it just my computer?

Me too. I'm having problems trying to go from my own profile page to homepage and accessing certain applications. It used not to be like that; but only these past few days only, I've experienced this kind of thing. Before that it was some gaming glitches and I did report the problem to Zynga, seeking assistance and it worked. But now, the problem's resolved, it's Facebook loading problem that's starting.

Well that is what it could be, and if that was the case then facebook needs to update their system and get better security on it. Well I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that it gets fixed soon.

Hello that is the exact problem I have seen. It was just about 4 days ago that it was a piece of cake to get from page to page on facebook and now it is just slow. I really do wish that they would update their system as I really like facebook. It is a shame that some sites lets their sites go and not do any maintenance or updates to them. In my opinion it makes no sense at all to make a site and then just let it go. The only thing we can do is hope that they fix it real soon.

hi, Seppy! I have this problem since I became a member of facebook, but i have thought it is from my laptop, because it is not very fast( it actually belongs to my cousin), but now when you say you have the same problem, maybe it is really from the site, maybe they have some server movements or something like that, i don't know, but hope they will solve the problem

Hello, I am starting to think that it is that facebook needs to update their server.Because if it is not facebook then that would mean there are too many people in the world that has crappy computers then, and I don't think that is the case...LOL

Hello, I have notice the same thing too. I got on today thinking that maybe it got fixed but it did not go any faster. I think I am going to give up on that site till my mom lets me know that it goes faster.

Last night I was having issues especially with some of the games, but so far today it is working Fine for me. It could be you need to reboot your Computer if you have not done so lately, or defrag or just a Glitch with facebook. I know when it is working slow for me, it can be quite frustrating indeed.

Hello, it looks like I will have to log into my account and see if I see a difference. Maybe it could be that the problem got fixed. I think I am going to clean my computer again and see if that makes a difference.

I check it from my phone sometimes and in the last few days I have been getting kicked off because of an invalid security certificate *shrug* I don't know if it's a problem with FB or with my cell phone service but it's been going on ever since people started complaining about the "new look" - the new look that apparently hasn't made it to my account yet because I don't see anything different.

Hello, well it will change your layout too, just won't be right away. I thought it was not going to happen to one of my accounts because it was the same while my other changed but it did change today. I think it is facebook itself that is messing up all the accounts that everyone has. I am not worried about it because I have my earning sites that keeps me busy.

Facebook has been fine for me.It could be your computer.You might want to clean out your cookies,and your junk files.It might just be that facebook's servers have been lagging around lately.

Well I know that I clean out my computer 2 times a day. I am thinking that facebook needs to update their server or something. It is no big deal because I quit doing the apps if they are games that takes to long. So other then that I use it for talking to friends now.

I have noticed the same thing. You go into an application, the next thing you know you have froze up the whole computer. then you get thrown out and no sense going back there because you know what will happen. Maybe they are just getting more and more new members joinging in.

Hello, that is what I am thinking. The more the new members the slower the server on facebook. I wish they would update their server because I then think that facebook would work much better and it would not be such a hassle with the apps, but I don't think they will update the server anytime soon. So I decided that I will not be on it as much as I use to because of it. So I instead just do all my online money sites, which is a plus because if I calculated right that I will have about 30.00 dollars earned up by the end of the month.

There have been a couple worms sent thru facebook via the inbox. These emails look like they are from your friends and that you friend posted a video...if you tried to open that ...your computer probably was infected....You should run a malware/spyware clean-up program and see if that helps ;)

Oh my goodness, I wonder how that happened. Well I can say that I don't open any thing really unless it is a letter. Well there was one thing that people were sending around and I opened it and did it up, it was like a chain letter. Could that carry any worms? I know that I run all of my malware/spyware everyday before I start any work and at least 3 times during the day. I hope that this will get resolved soon.

Hi, Seppy1984! I don't think you are the only one having trouble with facebook. I am also having trouble with facebook. It is loading slower, and the apps are loading alot slower than usual. I don't think it is just your computer. I thought it was my computer to begin with, but now i am not so sure. I have gotten off of it several times to do other things on the computer, only to check back later and it still be doing the same thing. It is very aggravating. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon.

Hello, that is what I do too, I will close everything out and clean out the computer and it still does not help the problem. I too first thought it was my computer but when I noticed that all my working/earning sites don't slow down then it was facebook itself. Although I don't understand how some people don't have problems with it being slow on their computer. But because of it I don't get on it at all, I only do my earnings sites. If I get on it is long enough to do my scratch cards and that is it. I too hope that it get back to normal real soon because I hate trying to use the apps and it works so slow that it just is no sense to play them.

That same problem is true for us here at home. My sister's been complaining about it too, and she's using a different computer. So it's not a computer issue. Anyway the reason behind facebook's slowing down is probably because more and more people are using their applications and facebook has been coming up with new applications (mostly games) out like every other day. I've been playing my town lately, not many have been using this and playing it. You can try, you might like it too. Pretty much like My City, only better (in my opinion that is).

Hello, I never thought of it like this but you are right because I like to play the app called Games and it slows down so bad there. When I play Farkle or Paradise Island it is running perfect. I think maybe facebook should update their system or I honestly do see people stop using facebook. I am glad that you brought that to my attention though. I will for sure try out those 2 apps that you mentioned though because it sounds like it will be fun.

Hello. No, it is not just you. Facebook is haveing some serious problems. it is running slow and most of the games are sluggish and coming up with errors. Everyone I have talked to says it is the same with them. Cafe world keeps losing my gift, but today it is working a little better. Mafia wars keeps freezing up and or refreshing the page on its own. Honestly, if you ever think it is just you, most of the time you would be wrong because facebook is always having some issue that they are supposedly working on. I would suggest just be patient with it or wait a day and maybe they will figure it out and have it fixed. It is very aggravating when that happens.

Hello, well I have noticed that it is facebook alone. I know that when I am playing the App Games I am always losing when I play the tournaments, that alone makes me mad because when I play it I usually win all the time with the Glow Cuts. I sure hope that they fix it soon, because I get so upset because of it. That is why I do just my paying sites only now. I will go back to playing some facebook again when it is fixed.

Now I am wondering really what is going on. Because there seems to be a lot of other people having trouble with it too. Maybe it is just technology any more. Well all I know is that I am done with it till it decides to work better. Well I am glad for you that you have no problems.

I haven't noticed this issue, but it could be you're computer...I find my computer gets slower when I play Facebook games because I have a really old, ghetto laptop, but for general use, it's fine. Or maybe there could be something wrong with your internet connection, and it might just fix itself after a few days. Hope you find a solution!

Well I can say that my computer only acts up when I am on facebook so maybe it is just my computer. I know that I want to get it updated and hope that maybe it will help it go faster. I hope that maybe it does fix itself over the next few days. I guess I will wait and see what happens.
