  Tip: If your "real" email address is generic, open a new Gmail or Yahoo! email account to use for your Facebook registration.
Login Page Not Refreshing

Another common problem is that the Login page doesn't load or refresh properly. This could be due to cookies not being activated on your computer.
Solution: Each browser has different instructions on how to set cookies. Instructions for some of the more popular web browsers are provided through the following links.

Tip: You may also need to clear your browser cache. A "cache" is something your browser creates where it "holds" the data from pages you've visited. This allows pages to load much more quickly. However, it also can mean if there were changes to a page since you visited it, your browser may show you the old version instead of the most recent one. In most browsers, you can clear the cache by visiting the Settings or Tools tab.
Registered With a Phone Number

You registered your Facebook account on your cell phone and you are unable to log into Facebook from your computer.
Solution: Use your cell phone number rather than an email address to log in. Once you've logged in, you can change your login information to whatever you'd like.

Tip: It's a good idea to connect your Facebook account with both an email address and a phone number. This will also make it easier to recover your account if it gets compromised or if you forget your login information.
Getting Help With Facebook

Facebook offers a lot of help to users. There is a comprehensive Help Center with detailed advice and tips for users who are experiencing login or other problems. The Help Center breaks all the problems and issues down by type, which makes navigating these pages a relatively straightforward task. Use the search bar at the top of the page to find the solution you need.

Frequently, Facebook also posts system-wide problems to its Known Issues page. Check here if you are getting a login problem that you can't find a solution for easily; it may be a temporary problem that is already being addressed.

If you are still experiencing login problems and have examined all the possible causes, then Facebook has a Help Community forum where you can post your issue and get feedback from other users and members of the Facebook Help Team.
Report Your Problems

If you are having difficulty logging into Facebook, and it seems to be a new or unknown error, make sure to report your error. Solutions can only be found if the problem is acknowledged, so be sure to file an error report each time you encounter a problem.

Find out who's IGNORED your Facebook Friend requests with this simple trick
IF YOU suspect that one of your friends might be ignoring your Facebook Friend request, here's a quick trick to find out for sure.

GETTY • FACEBOOKThere is a little-known way to find out if anyone has been ignoring your Facebook Friend requests

If you have been on Facebook for a few years, you might have lost track of who you have – and haven't – requested as a friend.

And there's also a very good chance you can't remember who accepted your friend requests.

But there is a quick way to find out whether anyone has been ignoring your Facebook Friend requests.

EXPRESS NEWSPAPERSLoad the Friend Request drop-down from the Facebook taskbar

Here's how it works –

1/ Log in to Facebook.com and tap the little Facebook Request icon in the top right-hand of the banner (it's the symbol that looks like two silhouettes).

2/ This will load a drop-down menu populated with all of your recent Friend Requests. From here you can chose to accept or ignore them.

3/ To see the Friend Requests that you've sent, you'll need to hit the See All text at the bottom of the drop-down

4/ This will kick you to a new page on Facebook with the same list of your pending Facebook Friend Requests, or any Friend suggestions thrown-up by Facebook.

EXPRESS NEWSPAPERSAfter you click See All, you'll be thrown to a new page with an option to View Sent Requests

5/ Click the View Sent Requests link that should now be at the top of the page.

6/ There you have it. Facebook should serve you a page with all of the people who have clicked Ignore or even Delete Request over the years, when you've reached out with a social media olive branch of friendship.

EXPRESS NEWSPAPERSAnd if someone has deleted or ignored your Facebook Friend Request, they'll appear in this menu

For some, this revelation could be a little soul-destroying. But for other Facebook users, it could be a brilliant ego-booster.

While you are on Facebook, why not check the frustrating other inbox that the US social website keeps hidden from its users?

It turns out, Facebook has been filtering your messages.

When a Facebook friend sends you a private message on the hugely popular social network, you get a notification in the Messages feed.

The small Messages icon – which sites in the top-right of the toolbar next to the Notifications icon – is highlighted whenever a friend messages you.

Depending on your notification settings, the US social network might also drop you an email or a text message. But what happens when someone who isn't your friend drops you a line?

It turns out, Facebook stays frustratingly quiet.

How to tell who's ignoring friend requests on Facebook
Everyone has a wide range of Facebook friends. Anywhere from your sister, to that girl you graduated with but never really talked to, to the guy you chatted with at the bar last weekend. Sometimes you get a friend request from someone you barely know and think to yourself, "It's weird that they looked me up." Or, "How did they know my last name?" But other times you take the first step and click that "Add Friend" button. (Haven't you always wondered how the ads on your newsfeed are weirdly accurate? This is how you can turn them off.)

After a couple weeks go by and they still haven't accepted your friend request, you may think it's weird, but typically people just forget that they even sent one in the first place. Now you're probably wondering how many of your friend requests have been left ignored, just floating in cyber space. (By the way, this is what your social media profile says about you.)

Well, it's actually pretty simple to find who's left you hanging. There's also a way to see who unfollowed you. Go to the Facebook home screen and click on the friends icon in the upper right hand corner. Then hit "Find Friends." There you will see all of the people waiting for you to accept their friend requests. But, if you hit the tiny "View Sent Requests" button at the top of the page, you can find out who's rejected you.

The list typically tends to be made up of people who don't use their Facebook anymore, or someone you creepily stalked and friend requested way too early on in the relationship and scared off. If you want to cancel your request (not that it matters because they have probably been ignoring you for three years) you can do that by clicking on the "Friend Request Sent" button next to their name. This feature can also be helpful when you're scrolling through your newsfeed on your phone and your thumb slips and hits the "Add Friend" button from someone on your list of suggested friends that you don't even know.

In the long run, you don't really get anything useful out of checking who has digitally rejected you on Facebook. Maybe just a little sad, or an adrenaline boost to call them out on it the next time you cross paths. Either way, it is a pretty interesting feature.
Even if the person you really wanted to be friends with ignored you, don't quit Facebook just yet! Science says that it actually helps you live longer.

How to See Who Has Left Your Facebook Friend Request Hanging

Image credit:

While some people send Facebook friend requests to everyone they casually meet during their day, I tend to keep my friend list on the site limited to just people I’m actually friends with. That means I currently have over 242 pending friend requests from people like that guy I met at a wedding 10 years ago, and the girl who I rode the bus with in 7th grade but never spoke to.

Leaving a friend request pending always seemed like the respectful move. I’m not saying no to these people’s friendship, I just haven’t seen the request…in a decade. And they’ll probably never realize I left it there, right? Wrong. If you’re the sender, Buzzfeed pointed out this week that you can actually see who has left you hanging on the site (if it’s me, I’m sorry).

To see what pending friend requests you have, click on the friend icon at the top of your Facebook page (the spot where you accept all those new requests) and then select “Find Friends.”

Image credit:Facebook

A page will load with all the people currently waiting to become your friend. At the top, there’s a tiny “View Sent Requests” button. Click that, and you’ll see what requests you’ve sent that haven’t been approved.

For me, it was pretty anticlimactic. I have three pending, one some guy that was part of my lunch crew in 12th grade, whom I arguably would have left hanging as well (touché sir). The other two look like friends who removed their presence entirely from Facebook. That, or I decided to friend two people with no photos and names that appear to just be jumbled letters.

If you’ve got a few on your list you’d rather not wait on (or if you want to resend it to get their attention and potentially double your rejection) you can click on the “Friend Request Sent” button beside the person’s name to cancel your request and free you up to send another.

The INSIDER Summary:
If you've ever sent a friend request on Facebook and been left hanging, there's a way to see who's ignoring you.
You can view your sent requests under the "Find Friends" tab.
You can also take back a friend request this way.
