Just in case this helps anyone, there appears to be an issue with logging in to Facebook at the moment. I was logged out unexpectedly, and tried logging back in - password not accepted. Tried to change password, which apparently worked - still can't login.

A friend is reporting similar issues.

Downdetector shows a spike of reported issuses just now...

Facebook and Instagram have been hit by a worldwide outage that has left potentially millions of people unable to access their accounts.

Users found they were mysteriously logged out and not able to log back in, or could not open the app at all.

The outage appears to be global, according to tracking website Down Detector.

All those people who have just found out that all the pictures and videos were from someone "real" in the same house and they had to actually talk to each other. :D

Plus the cat wasnt funny when pointing the camera at him but it is in 3D. :o
