I am unable to make a comment on Facebook; I type, but nothing happens at all. I can only click "like," write on their wall, or send a personal message. Can someone please help me!!!
Configuration: Windows Vista / Internet Explorer 8.0
Simply because, here it is, Facebook is making another change. I just noticed, now to comment you no longer need to click on 'comment' but on the 'enter' key on your keyboard.. If this is not the case for you yet.. PATIENCE! :)

I can't comment, it's driving me crazy, I'm fed up with this mess!
Vivie
the enter key doesn't work either
cacaille
I'm the same, except that nothing gets written when I type something, so I'm always stuck at the same point. Can someone help me?
titine
The enter key isn't working either!!!
Linda
Me too, the enter key doesn't work.

Bizarrely, there are a few of us who have this problem... I've been unable to comment for about a week now... I think it's a bug on Facebook, we all seem to be having the same issue, have you noticed? I thought it might be a compatibility issue??? I see this sometimes appear in a bubble. If someone has the solution, please let me know thank you in advance!

Hello, go to the top next to the address bar, next to refresh, click on the drawing, the Facebook page will refresh, it won't be like before but it works.
rayboom
in compatibility mode, sorry
mathetop
Thank you, that's what I'm doing now... but it's not easy because the videos are shifted up so I also right-click + refresh 2 or 3 times... it works but when I reach the bottom or the middle at the homepage, it brings me back to the top Isn't there a techie who can analyze all this and find a real solution???
mathetop
It works for me now... and I'm not sure what I did... maybe because of the update of Explorer 9???
rayboom
Is this an update requested by Windows Update? I have Explorer 8.
mathetop
Do all the people with this problem have Internet Explorer? (Firefox, Google Chrome) I do (Explorer) I'm looking for what the problem is?

When you click on 'comment' after writing your comment, does nothing happen at all or is there a loading time?
Marie
I click on comment or write a comment and my cursor appears, but when I type, the cursor moves but no letters appear!
CAB_STOP
Ah! That's weird :S Sorry, I can't help you.

Hello, I'm the same as Marie, so I right-click or write a comment and refresh, and then I can write, but I have to do it often.

I haven't been able to either since last Friday (March 12). I've tried your tips and plenty of other things, but I'm still not able to!!! HELP!!! Is there a place where we can write to Facebook support?
mathetop
Does everyone have Vista? I was thinking it might be because of the update to Java or Adobe??? Have you also done those updates?
Sylvie
I have Vista... same problem...
cocotte
I have XP, so that's not the problem either :-(

With the new Facebook, to comment on an image or a photo, you need to open the image or photo by clicking on it, and then you can comment, but only if you have opened it.
mathetop
But we are talking about the home where all our friends post videos or texts, we cannot comment (like I am doing right now) unless you right-click + refresh 2 or 3 times or click on the square next to refresh at the top of the internet address bar. Really a bug in my case! Could a computer specialist help us please?

I found this online about the subject * Go to the top right corner on your Facebook account * Select the "Privacy Settings" option * The "updates, photos, and posts" will be set to "Just Friends" and you need to change it by going to "Custom Settings" at the base and noting that it should be set to "Everyone" as a privacy policy.
Now, you will be fine, but it must be said that this will be a tough blow for many pages and administrators for many users who fear enabling this option or even bothering to change it. I can only tell you that if you set the update status, post photos, and make them visible to everyone, it does not mean that your profile, your photo, and your admin will become public! So, you can safely choose this option.
A technician told me that he has no solution... we have to wait for Mr. Facebook... several people have problems following the download of Internet Explorer???? oh well... patience....
mathetop
It works for me after updating to Explorer 9...???
Sylvie
Hey!!! Thanks ... I also downloaded Explorer 9 .. and yay ... it works Thanks Mathetop xxx

Hello Marie, I’m the same. I can’t write comments anymore, but I right-click in the box and refresh, and then I can write a comment. I have to do this several times because the comment stays, but to write another one, I have to repeat the operation. Have a good day!

karen

dorcas1993
Me too! No way to comment anymore, plus the writing stays invisible as if I were writing in white on white. What to do??????
cocotte
Me too, as if it were writing in white on white, and sometimes it writes, but when I press enter, it just enlarges the box!
