On my home computer I'm having problems with facebook. It has no layout at all and doesn't even show some pictures. Most of the links don't work..... HELP!!!

what web browser are you using and what operating system? - unless it is windows 98. can you view other web pages?

I have tried using both Firefox and internet explorer, and they don't work. Other websites do work on my computer. I think my computer is acctually Win Xp dispite that I'm listed as Win98

normally i'd clear the cache the first time a web page loads incorrectly. could you get access to facebook on the home pc before?
if not is there any web blocking software installed on the pc?
if yes, try reset the web browsers to default settings.

I'm pretty sure it worked before, when I asked a friend about it, they said that it usually fixed itself... but thats not happening.
My parents do have K9 installed on the computer, but I don't think it's blocking it at all or else it would say so.

in IE you can set the security and privacy to default settings and clear the cache. if you are using FF make sure scripts are running.
post a screen shot of the webpage that you get.

what does this have to do with programming

I took 2 screen shots, one from IE and one from FF.
I tried to post them, they are both bmp files, but they failed to upload

**freddyhard** · 09-01-2008, 07:37 AM

i use photobucket.com for remote images. if you have an account with some one similar upload them there and paste a link in the post. although BMPs should attach.

i have compressed these photos, here they are

**freddyhard** · 09-01-2008, 09:31 AM

did you try and log in?
i get a slightly different screen, with and without scripts allowed in FF, but in both cases i could log in - if i had an account.

Maybe style sheets are disabled?
