Facebook's gone mad!

Postby themagicwand » May 4th, '10, 23:57



While using Chrome, everytime I go to Facebook it's all in French!! And even changing the language settings has no effect.

However while using Firefox it's in English.

Anyone else experiencing this rather odd glitch?!

What is it with things going wrong in Chrome in this forum? :)
Looks fine to me, I wonder if it's a DNS problem?

Mad innit. I have found that asking Chrome to translate the text, then clicking on the Francais (UK) button at the bottom of the signing in page will restore UK settings. But it won't last, and the next time you got back to FB it will be all froggy-like again. Or alternatively use a different browser.

Bloody French! We want our Roast Beef Facebook back!

grrr don't talk to me about facebook! The other day it went off and decided to message random people telling them how cute I think they are and that I wanted to 'hook up'. Left me with a little explaining to do.

Don't run Facebook Applications. Ever.

I've learnt my lesson, Tomo :D

Although pillow fights and bear hugs are fun.
