Facebook

Just scroll to the bottom of the page, click on Touch site, let it refresh then scroll to the bottom of the page again and you'll see the option for "Full Site".

That should do it.

That solution only works for a little while before it reverts back to the mobile site.

I think that it is weird that it is sending us to the "mobile" site and not the "touch" site. You would think if there was any problem it would go to the "touch" site.

Yeah the full site is fairly unusable right now.

HERE IS THE FIXXXXXXX
just load the page and then go tap on the address bar and delete the "m." before facebook.com and then it works. Delete your old bookmark and replace the bookmark with this one.

Hate to say it but you will probably be -1 after a little while.

Yeah, changing the URL is no fix -- it's an extremely-temporary workaround.

 

[clayj]

Looks like they've fixed the problem...

 

[mizelly41]

Yep I can confirm. Looks to be fixed for now!

Google is doing the same thing in some browsers. I tell it to go to the real site and it gives me the mobile one even though I am spoofing it with IE8 or Firefox.

It has been fixed, their was quite a uproar on the facebook discussion boards.

 

[mizelly41]

It will be interesting to see if Facebook come out with an official statement about this and maybe address the possibility of an app for the iPad or chat for the facebook main page in Safari (which is the only thing wrong with facebook on the iPad).

Theres no app to make the overall iPad experience better for Facebook?

I just use Safari on the iPad. Exactly the same as at my desk. It can't really get any better than that...

 

[Maaz]

Works till you hit the home button. Bummer.

Mine stays on the original browser. Idk why you guys are having th problem? Weird

 

[AppleFan360]

Seems to be fixed now. That was really annoying.

You get scrollbars for the pop up windows?

There is an iPhone app but still no iPad app. I use iPhone but it is small.. I wondered if they did this cause they are getting ready to launh a FB iPad app and wanted peeps to buy it?

I have noticed when I log on in Safari I ca't access my wall unless I go through a comment on a post? When I click profile I go to my "public" profile?

Wrong. At the full site, I can't add photos to my profile. I still need the App to do that. Not FB's fault though.

Fair enough, I haven't tried to do those two things yet.

Not sure if that warrants a whole app, as opposed to simply having Facebook create an iPad-friendly version of their website (e.g. with fewer Javascript mouseovers).

Use two fingers to scroll in the pop-up windows.

Facebook - just give us an iPad version of the iPhone app. I use icab so I can fake the user agent and force it into full desktop browser mode but, even so, I'm still currently using the iPhone app in compatibility mode for my (fairly infrequent) Facebook access.

If the blown-up iPhone app is OK then a proper iPad app would be great.
