    It's almost midnight on Feb 11, and I can't log into facebook. I'm wondering if it's my account, or a general problem. Anyone else having trouble?

    Well, I guess that settles it. It's Tom. :)

    edit: Sam, how can you say 'time delay' when it's already tomorrow at your house?

    Time delay, that is an "other side of the IDL issue, I think Sam was talking about the lag to US time. :)

    I got into FaceBook no worries. Don't want you to develop a complex Tom, but it's you.

    Crud, it must be me. Maybe I've been banned already.

    Yes, but not at the moment. I can't log in. I'm in the middle of email tag with FB support, trying to get my account fixed.

    I think you'll find things have changed for the better. Most of the worst offenders have migrated with their antics to the House of Politics. Although, it could still be said that most of the Pancake banter is half baked. ;)

    Is this to keep it from reproducing?

    Yes, exactly. It kept going after my leg, which isn't too bad this time of the year, but in the summer when I wear shorts...

    Yes but I don't really use it. I registered to see something, I forget what. I'm not into the popularity contest.

    So here is another wrinkle in my sorry facebook tale of woe: my wife decided to join facebook. When she tried to register, it did the same thing to her. It just jumps back to the login/register screen. She is running from a different computer using a different browser. I'm starting to think facebook has us blocked by IP. I wonder if my ISP has something funny going on?

    My facebook problem continues, without any help from facebook. I have asked them to delete my account if they can't fix it. I don't like having a dead account with my name on it, floating about in space somewhere. I keep getting friend requests to which I can't respond.

    You facebook users out there, let me know if qbee42 disappears from facebook.

    Thanks,
    Tom

    Better hope Facebook changed its TOS. Deleting your account still grants them access to anything you've put it on there for eternity...

    Didn't they backtrack on that recently? It'd be a shame to pull everything down, just as I was getting 'hip' to it. Not to mention everyone pulling their info out.

    I heard that on Global this morning but I haven't had the time to figure out what was changed.
