Non-Responsive iPad in Facebook

I just tried the FB app a few minutes ago and it did let me like a post without problems. But I really dislike the app. The posts and pics are huge. Many times the tops of photos are cut off since they are so large. And yep - I am new to Apple so it could be that there is something else I should try to improve that app.

Regarding the browser question - I will have to try others out again. I've only had the iPad for a couple of weeks and I tried those browsers in the first days. But it's a good question and I'll give them a try again.

Thanks very much.

Hi Twerppoet - yep, I am on 6.01. I think I will try the suggestion of other browsers tomorrow. Thanks.

Good luck. Please let us know how it turns out.

Can I also point you to another recent thread, not the most pleasant prospect to consider.

I am also having the same problem since yesterday. I cannot like but one thing on my Safari facebook News Feed, then i have to reload the page to like or share, and reload again. If i go to my wall, or my groups, i have no problem what so ever liking or sharing.This just started last night, yesterday morning it was fine. This is also happening in Chrome and Dolphin browsers. I have an IPAD 2 with version 6.0.1. Obviously something is wrong with ipad and facebook browser, not with the mobile version, but i hate the mobile version if facebook.

Same problem here also. I've tried safari , dolphin and mercury...all are unresponsive to Facebook but all other websites work fine. My Facebook app works fine but I can't stand using it.

There's a relatively new browser available (new to me ) called, Perfect Web Browser. Noticed it has a 'post to Facebook' tab. Might be worth a try.

It has a 'hyper scroll bar' that I love! You can tap it to page up or down or hold it to scroll up or down.
The rest is similar to Safari. The settings provide a lot of choices too. Has a good selection of desktop renderings and has the full screen option and much more. And no, there is no association with the Browser people other than I discovered it and now it's my go to Browser.

I think its facebook trying to force ipad users into using their app, probably because they can collect data more easily. I have tried six browsers including safari, mercury, chrome, dolphin, opera and puffin and ALL have the same problem with varying degrees. I have even tried turning off JavaScript and this didn't help much, plus it brought up a message telling me to download their Facebook app "for a better experience".

None of these otherwise useful suggestions are working for people because it seems Facebook has done something to try to prevent iPad users from using fb on browsers. They are bullying us into getting the app, even though it's not the full fb experience. Why would they want to do that...?

That is exactly what i said yesterday! Facebook was trying to force us to use their app! Great minds think alike lol!
