Facebook bug: none of my friends can view my profile, wall, photos…

August 20, 2009 • Facebook, PROgramming by Emanuele Feronato • 11 Comments

Today I discovered an interesting Facebook bug: when I log in, every thing is alright but none of my friends can view my profile.

When they click to view it, it takes them back to their homepage.

And also, any comment I make doesn’t appear for my friends, but I can see them clearly when I log in.

Maybe FB staff needs some php classes… :)

… any clue?

I tried to login “from the other side of the world” as said in a forum (thanx Bob) but nothing happened.

It feels like a part of my “second life” has gone… it could be an interesting post… AFTER my account has been fixed.

    Wow, that really sucks. Even though I don’t have a Facebook, I know that some people (more like most people) get really attached to Facebook, and this is exactly why I don’t. It would be like losing a well loved friend to them, and I agree that you should write a post about losing your “Second Life”. It would be interesting.

    I’m having the same problem now too. Not sure why. But this profile that Im trying to access is a profile I view like a couple of time per day. The problem just started yesterday. Funny, that I can still view this persons profile in my iPhone.

    Hey, man. We ran into this problem while working on MSN Games Hexic. It may be someone posting content on your profile that later got flagged. It over-reacts at first, and later seemed to calm down after Facebook had moderated the bad stuff.

    Almost as cool as the PayPal in Cuba stunt.

    maybe your (chat) status is offline/invisible to others

    Is this everybody else or just her? Is it possible you accidentally blocked her or something? Only thing I can think of.
