Did anyone reg PleaseComeTo.Boston?
By the way, sorry to be a little off-topic, K, but is anyone else having a problem with FB today? When I log in it’s a blank white screen.
That sounds like good news to me…
lol
Interesting: https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&q=facebook+blank+white+screen
I must say, some aspects of this could not be any more “thought provoking” either, but unfortunately I “can’t” reveal why…
Ok, while strictly speaking I was never a “detective,” though I would definitely love to have been one and wish I had for a part of my life, I have done some detective work and found more answers and useful info…
But here’s the kicker: you can’t find this by merely trying to log into your normal FB desktop account, because all you get is the white screen, and I don’t even use FB on phone:
“Facebook Will Be Back Soon
Facebook is down for required maintenance right now, but you should be able to get back on within a few minutes. In the meantime, read more about why you’re seeing this message. Thanks for your patience as we improve the site.”
“This usually means we’re making an improvement to the database your account is stored on. While this process won’t affect your account, you temporarily won’t be able to access the site.
Keep in mind, we don’t do site maintenance on all accounts at the same time. It’s possible that your friends will be able to access the site while your account is still unavailable.”
Did someone say database? 🙂 Yes, I know a thing or two about those… 🙂
Thank you for your hospitality and indulging me, Konstantinos…
