Facebook Problems: Are You Plagued With “Facebook unavailable due to site maintenance”?

January 31, 2010 Robert Holland

Since writing about the Facebook problem and error message Facebook unavailable due to site maintenance over 24 hours ago, people are still being plagued by what is seemingly a major problem within Facebook.  Initially, people thought that Facebook might have been down temporarily for server updates, or maintenance.  But several readers here at Social Media SEO continue to report that they are still not able to access their Facebook profiles, and continue to get the error message Facebook unavailable due to site maintenance.

Are you still having this issue?  If so, let us know in the comments how long you’ve been experiencing the problem.  Also, if you were having this error message but now you are back online with Facebook, let us know about your experience.  A lot of people will be helped and informed by your input.

    36 hours now, totally ridiculous. I find Facebook's help section hugely ineffectual and their generic "sorry we don't know what's wrong either" email replies frustrating. I know we don't pay for this but others pay to advertise and their target audiences are potentially unable to view their content with these lengthy outtages not ot mention the loss of data that some users report when accounts do come back online.

    this is lame, why the hell is facebook retarded? I've been "locked out" for about 20 hours now and nobody can see my page. This seems to happen not long after I add a bunch of pictures. Are they cataloging all my shit? wtf is going on here? why is it always MINE and not any of my friends? if anyone from facebook is reading this shit, FUCK YOU

    I have the same problems, okay this morning (UK time) . But at lunch time logged back in, and I got the standard maintenance message! Still down.

    Tried to log on via Facebook Lite, but got the same message, so Facebook Lite did not work for me sadly:(

    V frustrating to say the least! Arrrrrgh :(

    I posted this on another page, thought I would put it here too.

    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 am having the same issue… haven't been able to log in for 20 hours now. I have submitted a report to facebook and got a generic letter regarding the new layout problems…… I play multiple farming games and all of my crops are lost.. I'm very upset and can't get answers from anyone as to why maintenance would take over 20 hours to perform . None of my friends are having any issues with this problem …only me and now I see some of you guys. My computer is virus free and I have all the proper firefox, so I am just not understanding this problem:(

    I’ve been seeing this message for the last 13 hours. Other folks I know are having no problems, so it must be the server my account is on. Very frustrating.
