Facebook

Hi all, anyone on here on facebook? if so as I am having trouble accessing it can you please tell me if its down - I can access everything else I need/want but facebook playing up.

Mine is fine beryl

Not down but very, very slow for downloading my stuff mostly videos. Everyone's on it because they are at home.

Oh dear, that's all I need - was hoping it was network wide and not just me. Thanks for looking nanajacqui

But not you, Terry, you're a bad un.

Good point TerryW = our post clashed on timing so missed your it when first responding. I shall try and be patient with it, never had a problem before so it threw me. Thanks

Firefox behave I've already got someone calling me a sod on here.

No bother, Berylh.

I'm not on farcebook so it is not me slowing it down. I did read somewhere that using microwaves at the same time can slow everything down.

BTW, mine is fine.

Just re checked in and still playing up, a message came up saying 'timed out' never had that problem before, any ideas guys.

I've not got one. But, if I had, it'd be fine too!

I know you haven't, that's why your voice is so high pitched.

IT's BACK thanks all for your comments

Glad we helped fix it.

berylh do you clean your computer periodically for cookies etc programs running in the back ground

Peter only had this laptop a couple of months so haven't as yet. How often should it be done and is it easy to do? I'm a bit of a computer dunce with some but limited knowledge about a lot of tech 'stuff'. Perhaps I need to do a course on that type of stuff so there will be no need to panic if something goes wrong.

Berylh this is what i use take a look at it and read about it
and ask a family about it and its free

ccleaner i hope this helps you

Beryh Do you have a PC or a Mac? If a MAC hold down command and tab at the same time and all the programs you are running on background will pop us. Delete them one by one.

I don't have a PC but if that is what you have, I am sure someone on here will be able to help you.

Running too many programs may not be your problem, of course, but it is worth a try.

Thank you peter I shall explore this.
whacker my new laptop is a chrome which I have found to be very different to my past computers and is taking some time to get used to, I even had to buy a new printer as couldn't
connect to it.
Have to say as I am now 2 and a half weeks into isolation/sheltering I have come to rely on social media quite a bit to keep in touch with everyone and just to know that there are people out there.

berylh I think a lot of people were having trouble with accessing parts of facebook.I would hesitate to cleanse anything on your computer at this time seeing that facebook is the only programme you are having trouble with.

Thank you fossil, I appreciate your comments. Since facebook came back online late last night all seems to be well, although confess to taking a deep breath each time I log on just in case.

Berylh at the top right of the page are 3 vertical dots. Click on these dots and it will show history. Click on history and this will show every thing you have opened. On the left of the screen it will show delete history. Click on this and it will give you a panel with time range- browsing history-cookies-and cached images and files. Tick each box and enter 4 weeks in time box then delets history.
