Is anyone else havng trouble with the chat thing on Facebook? Ive been trying for weeks to get it to work but all I get is an exclamation mark in a warning triangle and the message "Unable to connect to chat at this time."

How the HELL can I torment people if the damn thing wont work properly????

Its never worked properly for me, apart from about three times which is annoying because it makes a good alternative to the MSN thing which I rarely use.

I hate the MSN thing because there are hundreds of people on there who I havent spoken to for ages, and when I DO go online I get mobbed by them all asking for an update on what Ive been up to for the past five years or whatever and I spend all my time explaining to them all in their seperate little boxes.

A new and extremely amusing development from Facebook! Now not only do we have viruses to contend with, theres a lovely little surprise when you "X" Facebook away.

It reappears and the "About blank" page appears, again and again and again and... You "X" those away and you get the Programme not responding warning up and the About blank pages appear and appear and... You hit CTRL ALT and DEL to try to end it all from there and it says Not responding!

Eventually you have the immense pleasure of being able to shut down the comp from the mains because nothing else works!

I love doing that! I really really do!!!!

A pain but I'd rather have that than FB broadcasting them to the whole world. :)

Does anyone know where to cancel updates such as not showing everyone a change of status? Next it'll be Clare85 is no longer listed as having a birthday in May when I take my birthday off. Rubbish!

I use facebook and it's great for keeping in touch. It's just a shame that aquaintances from the past can find you too! (ok, maybe not all of them are bad ;) )

I agree this is the only problem with facebook people who you do not want to find you actually do!!
