Facebook Temporarily Unavailable Due To Site Maintenance
Facebook seems to be having issues tonight with a lot of users accounts. I’ve been notified by some people that when they login to Facebook, and attempt to go to their Facebook profile, they get the following message:
~ Your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. It should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience. ~
With this problem affecting a lot users on Facebook, I’m guessing that Facebook is performing server maintenance. However, there could just isolated technical problems as well.
Is anyone else experiencing Facebook problems tonight?
Has anyone figured out a way to resolve this error message and login successfully to their Facebook profile?
Let us know in the comments!







I’ve been getting that same error message from Facebook since around 4pm this afternoon :( I tried deleting cookies, cache, history, etc and nothing seems to help so far.
I've not been able to get on since sat am… i did all the above as well and that did not work… this is frustrating
I got it Sat Too…now I see my photo has reapeared in my list ( I have two FaceBook accounts ) and my posts have come back on the groups I run .But when I click on the name it says I'm Unavable & will be back soon !!……So i'm halfway back !!
This sucks….FB needs more computers so this doesn't happen again.
It's been over 24 hours now !!!
Been down for over 24 hours now, people think i'm blocking them from my page – but i can access the damn thing from my blackberry. Total rubbish.
I have also been down over 24 hours. I could still log in via facebook mobile, and I could everyone's status updates, but my comments and posts seemed to go nowhere. The lack of info about this issue from facebook is criminal.
Yes me too have not been able to access my account since Sat afternoon very frustrating!!!!!!!!
aaaah! same thing here!
I started having probelms saturday as well, I ve sent several e mails to facebook but theres no technical support # and they re not responding back to even help with the trouble shooting !!!! thanks facebook for nothing
I got mine back , It was down from sat noon till sun 9:30…..
Hi Rob – thanks for letting us know. Did you do anything special to get Facebook back, or did it just all of a sudden appear?
It just came back ! I tried my cell phone & cleaning and all the other things people posted. I even tried facebook lite…but nothing worked…..then it just came back. It as out for around 34 hours total.
My account has been out since last night around 9 p.m. EST due to "Your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. It should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience." When I logged in this morning under a different user name, my main account (the one that is not available) shows up as being unavailable on Facebook. Did I do something wrong? Has my account been hacked? I have written Facebook's "hacked" team and to info@facebook.com. We'll see what transpires, but from what I've read, I'm nervous that it's going to a long wait and without any communication from Facebook. I guess when you're the only one in town, and free, you can do those sorts of things. We get what we pay for. :)
Terri, my account is still down from around the same time last night. It's very frustrating to say the least! My husband and two sons can all log in, but I can't.
Same, mine went down around 9pm eastern and is still.
Same here, mine went down around the same time.. I hope it comes back up soon, cuz i am a fb junkie
who do you have for e-mail? I have comcast and my children can access their accounts, as can my husband and mom, but I have my account registered under my comcast address. So I was wondering if there was a conflict with that – but I can't get in. Mine may have been down last night by 9 or so – but when I noticed was this morning at 4:45 am I tried to get on and it said site maintenance – try again in a few minutes. Around 7 am my message became a few hours. So 10 hours and counting so far! It stinks.
No, I'm using yahoo.
Same here–I cannot login for abou 12 hours now…
This just started to happen to me today! It's so weird, because I was at my college lab and I saw that everyone else was on Facebook besides me! D:
anyone know how to fix it?
I've not been able to log in for almost 24 hours! I can't play my game which some of them I have paid for extras!! WTH up with this
Same, my Facebook has been down for over 24 hours now.
same here i haven't been able to log in since yesterday.
Ive been locked out over 24 hours, my fish are going to die! lol This is crap
I haven't been able to log in for 20 hours now . Message says they are performing maintenance…. This is crap!! all of my farms are ruined….. Yet all of my friends and family are able to log on…. what's going on people?
I was locked out of my account for 24 hours. While searching for an answer I found a link for facebook lite. This site let me log in, and I clicked on the facebook logo at the top, which directed me to the normal facebook page. I have been able to log in and out with no problems now. Im sorry but I dont have a link , but I do hope this helps. It was driving me crazy!
I have been getting that same message for the last two hours.
Today I received a message that my profile was unavailable because of site maintenance. I was logged in at the time! It's been almost 4 hours and I haven't been able to get back in. I'm upset to see that this may last 24 hours or more. Why don't they just say that it will be down that long instead of saying a few hours.
I have pages to update for my company. This isn't good.
I’ve been unable to login since this morning! It’s very frustrating. Facebook should hurry and fix the problem.
I've been down since around noon today. everyone else in my family can get on – except me. very aggravating…..
just got in. down for about 12 hrs. but, all seems to be ok now. good luck.
It's the 4th time in the past week that I've gotten this message, this is ridiculous. The last 3 times I could log back in after a few hours.
I logged into facebook this morning just fine! Now – 00:34 a.m. (Greece time) -14 hours later I'm getting the same message as all of you. Facebook lite isn't working either. For certain people it is their work tool, for others a way to keep in touch…whatever the case…I wish there was someone who could explain to us what EXACTLY is going on.
I have been down since 10 pm Feb 22nd 2010 WTF is going on, A few hours bull…
Same message since 10 pm, Feb 22, 2010. Still down now 4pm………… *sighs*
I have the same problem, it started yesterday around 17:30 pm. I have been reading a lot of threads reg this issue and one thing I have noticed is that most of the comments/replies came from wives. I don’t know if it has something to do with the status or anything. Anyway nevermind. I just hope that this will be fixed and that we still have our facebook accounts.
I have the same problem!
My facebook account is up an running again. My account was down for a total of 24hrs. I reported it to their email team on this email address so i think they did action on it. Try to report yours I hope this helps.
Every other day my page in down for site maintenance…eventually comes back. This is very frustrating and I wonder how much of it is due to the new format?
