The 5 most annoying Facebook bugs

You cannot upload photos with the latest copy of iPhoto.

This really makes me mad. I like to upload my photos all the time, and I can’t use the easiest method anymore. I can’t even use the ActiveX plugin either…

I am stuck with the simple uploader, which only lets you upload five at a time. This could take forever.

You can’t block application requests from being sent to you.

I hate these a lot. I have removed friends because of this.

Sometimes when you clicking through a photo gallery, it will get stuck on a photo.

You have to refresh, and most of the time, it will lose your place. I don’t have a screenshot for this one, but it’s kinda annoying.

You can only message 20 people at once.

Why did Facebook make Friend Lists if you can only message 20 at once? Luckily, you can invite more than 20 people to an event, but wtf?

When you are very active on Facebook, your mini-feed gets chopped.

Not a big deal, but the mini-feed loses stories when you have written on a lot of walls, or added a bunch of people. Fix it!

Have you found any other bugs?

    Requests that don’t go away, even when you install the application the request doesn’t go away, not always but often enough to be annoying, I have to click the accept request button again.

    Also, I don’t like there privacy policy about the fact there allowed to Google your name and add that data to your profile.

    The uploader breaks to often.

    When You install to many apps, facebook gets slow and won’t react to your input. Amber mac can’t even reach her friend list, because she has too many requests.

    5000 Friend limit for people like Leo. Why have a limit, and if you have a limit why so high the systems can’t cope with it, as you can see with Amber Mac.

    that’s all for now,

    you can block all of the requests for random stuff. there’s a little link on the top right of the right sidebar on facebook.com/reqs.php that says “ignore all”

    enjoy :-D

    in response to Tales:

    the response gets slow when you install so many apps because the pageload is then hitting a site for each app you’re loading so if you have 50 apps installed you’re gathering data from 50 sites to load that single page. and few of them have quality equipment to serve large volumes of pageloads quickly. a lot of apps also utilize scripts that probably aren’t restricted well and bloat to large sizes.

    The 5000 friend limit could have been imposed before the app platform was introduced and is now a legacy issue they have to support (it may not be very simple to change), or facebbok has also seemed to value itself as a virtual connection or representation of you’re actual social circle in real life meaning they don’t think you can have 5000 meaningful friendships in real life. If this is the case though they might want to evaluate where vampire bites and ninjas fit within a representation of your real life also.

    I think these early platform apps just haven’t found the way they’re going to contribute to actually expanding the utility of the social graph yet. they’ll get there in time. :-)

    No campo, I want to be able to block them from even sending me app invites.

    Have to admit the iPhoto upload and the request things annoy the crap out of me too.
    As a temporary solution to the iPhoto stuff (I really hope Facebook fix the iPhoto app), I’ve been using PictureSync.
    It’s okay, it’s not the best app in the world, but at least you can upload a whole gallery at once.

    Facebook Annoyance number 6:

    People who abuse Facebook and just don’t understand what it is for and how to properly use it. People that are very annoying on the news feed.

  • bekka

    how about one where no one can see your profile, only your status but they cant see your name so it some random status and no one can see whos its by. but to you everything is perfect and working fine.

    The most annoying for me are when you are trying to tag a bunch of photos in an album you've created (constant errors), Facebook Chat (aka, Facebook Crap), and the amount of time it can take to load photos (that are already uploaded… tat is, trying to see other people's photos that never losd).

  • mattlayden

    I need help.

    My facebook won't let me click on anything, update anything or write anything. I click on notifications and no pop up window appears, I click on search, no drop menu appears.

    This is really annoying, as I literally cannot do anything on facebook right now.

    Any help?

    From time to time, the application will
    get stuck in an annoying loop where if I
    choose to go 'back' from a certain photo
    the app force quits and there's no way to
    get back to the menu screen w/notifications.
    This happens frequently. The only thing that
    fixes this loop is syncing to the CPU. Sadly
    I won't be able to properly sync to my box
    until a week or longer. So, the app is really
    useless until I do. Anyone else experience
    this bug?

  • vanessa

    Hi, I am having the same problem, when i try and search my friends list for someone it says i have no friends but i have 270?! Also i can not comment on any of my friends photos or profiles. Did you find an answer?
    Thanks

  • Tommy

    Ya I got the same thing, did you get it fixed yet? Because I have more than 310 friends on my facebook account but the number above my freinds list box keeps on dropping? WTF

  • Siddo

    How about the photo one. Like, when you go to a person's profile and in the picture it says “See Jane Doe's pictures (40)” and when you click it, it shows only 10% (4 pictures) of what the number said earlier. Jane has 4 photos and FB says she has 40. WTF? What happened to the other 36?

    Oh!…that's great helpful, it's so right to me! Million thanks for the article,

  • Harwinder Kumar

    i think from these fives some are only limitations of facebook. We can’t consider them as bugs like sending messages to 20 people..
