Who broke it?! LOL I was trying to refresh a feed and was wondering what happened...checked for update, even restarted my phone. Glad it isn't just me. Means more scrapping, less distractions.

Now I have to work on Shutterfly albums... man, it's going soooo slow. up to a minute per layout to load onto the page in the album... it's taking me 4 hours to do one album as it crashes all the time. Must get this done for unlimited pages.

I'm at work and they're both blocked so I didn't even realize, lol. Granted I can switch to data on my phone as I have way more of that than I ever need.

I was cursing it out...lol I can't promote my pages with it down! I too thought it was me. Didn't realize how reliant I was on FB until this. Well not FB itself but messenger. I need another way to contact some of my friends.

We were just talking about this over lunchtime. Whatsapp is down as well and we can't communicate with our friends in other countries. Thankfully a lot of us do have each other's cell numbers to text back and forth to one another. But goodness with messenger free and on the computer, it's a million times than resorting to finding my phone and using the tiny buttons to talk!

Did anyone else watch 60 minutes last night? I'm hoping FB & Instagram took themselves down to fixes themselves!

As much as I hate wasting my time on FB, I am having a lowkey panic attack without it. Thank Goodness for needing to finish up some DSD things here to keep me occupied

This wouldn't surprise me. You would think after the huge TMobile hack other sites would tighten their security.

Yeah, I was getting on to check on the happy birthday messages on my feed (yes, today is my birthday) and kept getting the message that there was a typo in the url.
Guess the only messages I will get are those that were posted before it went down. LOL One article I read said that with whatsapp also being down, it is affecting lots of workers that use it to communicate on work stuff. And, the outage is world wide. |

Yes I noticed too but needed to grab a kit from one of my designers from there! It was still in my old feed on my phone so I was able to email it to myself. lol so silly to be so reliant on those social media.

Wouldn't it be nice if the designers could just host their CT groups here instead of on FB?! I'm only on FB still because of my scrappy requirements. I wish I could drop it all together. I'd love to see the forum here upgraded so it was more user-friendly, with better notifications and the like, but I don't see that happening. A girl can dream though.

Personally, I detest FB and rarely go on IG - I only use them for scrapping stuff now, and they're not my first choice. I just found them to be a huge timewaster.
Forums: I miss them. I used to be very active on a few forums (mostly paper scrapping) years ago (2 peas & there was another one that I can't remember the name now ). I really love the aspect of forums over FB groups.

a few mins ago... some saying they were hacked... but they won't confirm...
A company spokesperson said that it apologised for the problem but gave no indication of why the outage began or how long it might take to fix. “We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products,” spokesperson Andy Stone said on Twitter. “We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience.” |

I just wish messenger worked. Several chats entertain me through the day.

Yeah, agree, especially in the last 2 years...... I love scrolling through IG and of course Pinterest. Now we might break Pinterest. LOL.

my BFF and I talk all day every day on messenger..... we both agree we wouldn't have made it through the past almost 2 years without our chats...... we don't have a backup plan..... when things are back up and running we NEED to make a backup plan.

And that obviously can't be WhatsApp, they are down too, which is how me and my bestie chat. This sucks! Remember back in the day when there used to be so many different messengers.

So true! Of course I don't like phones, so mine is only set up as a 'wifi box' for my apps, no texting option either. Ahhh. lol

I think the last time I had a different messenger was back in 2009 when AIM was still live. Then slowly the chats moved to facebook.

I thought I did for a moment. I was trying to upload a file when it crashed so naturally I thought it was my network being bad. So after resetting my wifi, I finally figured out the outage was bigger than just me

I think this is eye-opening… how much they control when it comes to our connection to news, each other, and so much more. It almost makes me want to quit FB/IG entirely to be free of them. I hate that if they shut down it shuts down my life in a lot of ways. Wow. Haha
