Yet again I am frozen out of my own facebook account!

I have reset my password so many times now it's beyond a joke.

Can't even reset the password this time - even with the reset code THEY sent me!

It isn't as if I'm massively active on there, but it's useful for staying in touch with far flung friends and relatives :(

Am I the only person who has this trouble?   Thinking of deleting the account permanently now, it's just too frustrating to go through this carp all the time

Come to think of it, it's the only site I ever have trouble with :(

That is such a shame.

Dont want to jinx it but I have no troubles.

Agree tha is very useful for keeping in touch with those far and wide, also offspring.

No, Dill, I have exactly the same problem and have even ended up with two sites because I can't seem to get onto the first one >: ( I'm not sure why I bothered since I barely used the first one.

I find LinkedIn plays up in the same way though...extremely irritating.

I had password problems last year :( Couldn't get a reset code at all, so had to set up another account :( Tried emailing all sorts of people (including Mark Zuckerberg) - what a waste of time :( Didn't get a single 'personal' response, just a load of standard replies :( Facebook has terrible customer service IMO. Anyway - a few weeks after I set up my new account, I mysteriously got an email with a reset code - much too late tho' :(

Don't now why I bother with FB anyway, I only use it mostly to keep in touch with my family. It's a complete waste of time and drives me mad how people live their lives on it :)

I had that problem for a while - I try very hard not to get logged out now because I never can be sure I can log back in.  It happened after I had been looking through all the settings.   It said there was an option to show you if anyone was trying to use your account - so thinking I was being clever I ticked yes.  I then had an e-mail to say a computer with an ip address (is that the right term?) from Birmingham had accessed my account at such and such time.  I am not in Birmingham so I said no it wasn't me.  Hence the problem started.  I managed to undo it all in the end - but like you had to keep putting in a new password every single time.  Don't think my present password consists of very nice words (and numbers and capitals making it more difficult to break - but can I remember it????!!!!!)  So Dill - if you have changed any settings at all I would check what you have done.

Just to add - my ip address must be Birmingham - but how on earth can anyone know that!

No hadn't changed any settings at all ???

Hadn't used the account for about a week?

I had set the computer to remember my login details as I get bored trying to remember which password it now has - as it's been changed so often!

Weird that it wouldn't accept 3 of the 4 reset codes they sent me???

don't live my life on there, don't have 100s of 'friends' (collected like stamps! ;) ) only people I actually know face to face.

Maybe that's the problem?

Facebook have not been using a secure source.  Apparently at the top of your page, the address should start http and if it doesn't you need to change it as you can get hacked.  Change it in your settings.

> Apparently at the top of your page, the address should start http and if it doesn't you need to change it as you can get hacked

Should be https for the secure server

No I don't collect friends either.  I have some friends from agility and family.  Was able to see videos and photos of my grandson when on holiday and keep in touch.  I play silly farmville too - trying my best to keep those just between the few of us that play.  Tried putting settings so that only they could see the posts but then nobody could see my wall at all.  Now I do every individual post from the game.  Not sure it is working. ~Don't think I have https thought. 

> Don't think I have https thought

I meant though!   Now I have changed that.

The https bit is annoying :( If you set it up, it's OK until you go into an application that doesn't support it. It then goes to http, until you log back into FB again - which most people don't do as they stay logged in .................... :(

Just discovered that.  How useless.  As I said before - I am reluctant to log out because I may not get back in again without all the hassle that Dill has mentioned. 

Hehehe!I should work in 'puters me!!!  I meant https(wanders off embarassed....)

OK I'd like to know how to set the HTTPS thingy.   I can set it the https, but will it stay like that?  Do I have to do something else?

Seems so as long as you don't play games!!! 

OK thanks :)

I don't play any of the games, they'd be too addictive LOL  If I could work out how to find them   Yes, I'm that much of a numpty on FB

A little off topic but have you watched The Social Network - it's a great film about the origins of FB.  My kids (15 & 16) got bored half way through (went off to update their FB pages I expect!) but OH and I really enjoyed it

Yeah, we had the same response from our kids (15 and 13) when we were watching this film with my husband and I finishing watching it.  Kids thought it was 'lame'!!
I accessed my fb account when I was in London recently and I had an email to say that my fb account was accessed by someone in Kent.  I dont know how far apart these access points are but I just agreed that it was me and moved on as this has happened to my sister on numerous occasions when she accesses her account other than at home.

> and I had an email to say that my fb account was accessed by someone in Kent

Probabally means that you ip address comes out as Kent - it doesn't bear any relationship to where you live.  It must be your broadband provider.
