For some reason, I cannot access facebook at home. When I put in the URL it just spins and goes nowhere. I can't access all other sites, but that. However, I can access facebook on my smartphone. It's just weird. Is this only happening to me? And why are all the other websites working fine?

How come?
Rambo cannot access Facebook! Laughing

Which web browser are you using?
Try to use different browser like Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, or Opera.

Let me know the result?

Contact your home ISP --- maybe they're still blocking fb. (See Ankara terror attack: Turkey censors media coverage of bombings as Twitter and Facebook blocked.)

It's strange. For some reason, when I use Google Chrome my facebook seems blocked, but when I just used Safari like you recommended, I got in. Don't ask me why. Why would it not work on Google when it did before?

It seems Google Chrome and Facebook are not in good agreement, that's why it did not work! Laughing

Evet, maalesef. Yes, unfortunately. Anyway, at least it's working. I read of others having problems. I will see later about how to get chrome working with it later.

Update: I went into settings and checked the updates and what not, and that seemed to do the trick. You have to tinker with the settings.
