Title: IE and face book
Post by: Marjorie on August 14, 2016, 10:32:08 AM

For the last few days,  I cannot post anything on face book. I use IE as my default browser, but I opened face book in google chrome and everything worked... I did clean out the cache and did a system restore to no avail.  It must be a problem with IE since it works on Google Chrome... Would appreciate any help with this..

I'd run malwarebytes to make sure your browser/computer didnt get hit by something. The free edition can clean up problems like this. The other cause for a problem like this is when the browser properties are misconfigured such as someone messing around in the options to connect through a proxy etc.

Did you run a scan for malware and did it detect anything as a problem?

Are you sure you are not banned from posting on Timeline, and this can happen even when the ban is partially lifted. Another option can be: In the Help Center, click on "Timeline"
Scroll down to "Bugs & Unknown Issues"
At the bottom of that page, there is a statement that says: "If the issue you're experiencing isn't listed above, please 'tell us more' <--Click on the "tell us more"
A screen says, Report an issue with timeline, click "other" Add your subject and/or details then click send.
