is it just me but during the 8-10pm early evening window, is facebook is pretty much unavailable for you?

sometimes the first page doesn't even load, other times the site loads but links fail to work or random pages or functions seem not to work to take ages to respond?

i don't use facebook that often it's certainly not a way of life for me in, but it is useful to catch up with long lost school friends and work colleagues, but it's actually as frustrating to use as friends reunited is/was.

I've had problems with it tonight, it either works, or then I get 'Cannot find server', but usually on the whole it's fine to access.

Facebook can be quite odd with me - Firefox's awesome bar usually suggests 'dundee.facebook.com' as the entry-point which seems to be randomly completely unavailable whereas http://www.facebook.com usually works fine. Never been able to work out why as I assumed these subdomains were aesthetic.

On Fridays during the day I normally have "Your account is unavailable due to scheduled maintenance. We apologize (sic) for the inconvenience."

Why does Facebook have more scheduled maintenance than other sites?

Meanwhile a mate has posted a video of Joan Rivers on Loose Women today. He posted it 9 hours ago. "This video is currently being processed, check back later".

Perhaps the server died of boredom! It IS loose women, profanity or not.

I just knew Metropol members wouldn't be afraid to try out the 'New' Facebook. Everyone else seems to complain and switch straight back. Why can't they embrace change?!

Welcome to the future: It's broken!

One can't be seen using a site that caters for non-widescreen users now can one?

Indeed.

How analogue that would be.
