I use FB to keep in touch with a specific group of people internationally. A few days ago, I found I had lost the ability to read comments, write comments, “like” posts or see others’ “likes”, or admit people to the closed discussion group I’m the moderator of. I can read new posts and write new posts. I can write and receive PMs. I have no clue why this happened or how to fix it. Any ideas at all? ---

It sounds like you’re not logged in. ---

Does the rest of FB work normally? Do you belong to other groups where you can still participate in discussions? Are you sure you didn’t accidentally leave the group somehow? ---

I am logged in. I logged out and logged back in to see if that made any difference. It didn’t. I cannot see nor make any comments anywhere, in my own group or any other. I cannot comment on my own ‘home’ page either (I can post on it, like I can everywhere, I just can’t read comments.) Private messaging works. I did not leave my own group or any other group. ---

Update: although there is very little on the innertubes about this, I finally got the bright idea of clearing my browser cache, and the whole thing went away. Just in case someone has the same or similar problem. ---

Clearing cache does seem to solve a lot of computer problems. So does rebooting. 😃 ---

Also, checking stuff out with a different browser is a good troubleshooting step. ---

> [@ZipperJJ](#): > > Also, checking stuff out with a different browser is a good troubleshooting step. Agree, and that was going to be step 3 (I already did the rebooting, log off/log on things).
