    Thanks EDC got the reporting form now! Will be submitting my report very shortly.

    Perhaps we should all start reporting it so that they get the message that it's not acceptable (and that they hopefully identify the glitch that's causing the problem).
  • In case anyone has missed it:

    Add a mobile phone number to your Facebook account (setting it as 'only me' can see it) so if you're logged out again they can send you a verification code to log back in.

  • I wonder if this has anything to do with the Fashion UK facebook page, which looks fake to me. All they post is pictures of outfits asking people to like and share them, must be 100 just this week!! They post nothing else and they do not sell the clothes, they say a website will be 'coming soon'. I did like and share one but then unliked them as I was sick of all their posts appearing on my wall. They are getting a few comments now under the pictures along the lines of 'does anyone ever win?' and 'where can we buy these clothes - I keep sending you messages but you never reply?' Do you think someone has reported them and they have taken action against anyone who shared their pictures?

    I heard they were fake so I unliked them a while back - if people ask who won on their page, their comments get deleted! They couldn't possibly run so many comps! I reported them for fake L&S comps! Shame FB couldn't ban pages like them rather than disable innocent compers accounts!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    Glad I read this thread. I was feeling paranoid. May never be able to get back into facebook. All the pictures they send me to verify are comps other people have entered, so no chance.
  • I'm still being asked to verify, but I daren't in case I end up with a ban.

    I can't understand why people are asked to verify, then are allowed back on, but, like me, don't use their account and then get asked to verify again. It doesn't make sense.
    Would be helpful to know if this is FB actions or whether there's a bug.

    donlyn - keep going, I was kicked out Sunday night and have just managed to get mine back through the photos security (and yes most were comping pics) Very lucky guesses :o

    This is really doing my head in now!!!!

    I have now been slapped with a ban for 30 days so i cant like anything.

    Then it kicked me out again and asked me to verify my identity with a Captcha which i did and said it was banning me. They already did that!

    I dont think FB knows what it is doing.

    Why cant they just ban the companies running the L&S comps instead of us who are tempted with a nice prize.

    Oh no, this has just happened to me too :( I hope I can get my FB back, it has got lots of my pics on from the last 6 years or so that I don't want to lose :(

    If you do get back in in the future you can download your photos with the software mentioned in this article http://lifehacker.com/5820378/photograbber-selectively-downloads-photos-of-you-from-facebook
