    For like three months now, I've not been able to get to Facebook. I added it to trusted sites, I've cleared my internet cache, everything it says to do. I've even reset my internet several times, all to no avail. I just emailed Facebook, and I'm pretty sure they're just going to tell me exactly what I've already done. Anyone experience this, and do you have any fixes?

    No. I'm using the latest version of IE. Would that affect anything?

    I am using firefox, and yet facebook is only loading but never actually loads a page. I then tried it with opera and I get in.

    Hmm well lately Facebook removed the network subdomains (washington.facebook.com/home.php for example), maybe that has something to do with it?

    I use Firefox and I haven't had any issues, so I don't know what it could be.

    Likewise. This doesn't make sense unless it's your ISP.

    You can try the OpenDNS website.

    I've got no problems using Firefox. It also loads up rather quickly for me as well.

    Yeah, no problem on FF for me. Fast load and all.

    As I said, try using a proxy, just in case they for some reason blocked your IP or something.

    I use Firefox too and so far I haven't faced any problems. Try to run the website in Firefox, maybe it'll work.

    I've tried almost everything you guys have suggested, and nothing's worked, not even proxys.

    Just out of randomly curiousity, although I doubt this...check your hosts file... start > run > notepad C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
    If there's anything in there aside from 127.0.0.1 localhost, then that's your problem.
