Google Chrome + Facebook issues

Doggyboy · 7th December 2010, 3:15 AM

For the last 4'ish days i've been having some display problems while using google chrome and viewing peoples profiles on facebook, ive attached a s/shot to try explain it a bit better.. When it happened I thought facebook is changing things as per usual, however the prob is still happening 4 days on

Basically, instead of having a profile pic on the l/hand side, with "bob's" wall in the middle, then ads on the r/hand side (as it appears when using IE) it is stretched down the page instead. So to view "bob's" wall, I need to scroll half way down the page..

Top of profile s/shot:

Click to view full size!

Half way down profile users 'wall' appears:

Click to view full size!

The rest of f.book all displays 100% no dramas, aswell as any other website I goto

On the flipside, Internet explorer will display the same page 100%, however I would prefer not to visit f.book then have to use Internet explorer!

Computer is a samsung N120 netbook, 160gig, 1gb ram, etc ... Using 1024x600 res, problem still occours when using 1024x768 (virtual)

Any help appreciated

What version of Chrome are you running?

I thought chrome updated automatically by default anyway?

v 8.0.552.215

Delete all your privacy data cookies etc and see if that fixes it?

New version didnt fix the prob

cleared the browsing history, cookies, etc -- Problem solved!!

Something so simple, now I feel like a n00b! lol

Don't feel like a noob just for that. We've all been there before. Simple browser problem such as this is usually always fixed by clearing you cache etc. Yet it one of those simple things that you don't always think about.

Can I hijack this for a bit seeing as it's recent?

At the moment on Chrome when I visit Facebook on my 3 PC's (work lappy, home desktop and netbook) I dont see my events in the top right yet on the right side it says I have 3 Events. But when I click on Events

Click to view full size!

Also when I try and view the info for a friend, it just displays empty headings.

Click to view full size!

Has everyone else got the same problem. I'm running dev chrome 9.0.597.94 beta and dont have this problem in IE or Firefox but it works OK in Incognito mode if Chrome

And I'm positive I've cleared out history, will try it again.

Thanks
Paul

EDIT: Un-installed and reinstalled and all OK now.

I occasionally get weird issues with Chrome, I suspect it happens when it auto updates but doesn't tell me. Restarting the browser (I have it running 24/7 and rarely close it) and clearing history seems to fix it though.
