Rant time again. So, at least half the known world is signed up with
Facebook, including almost all of my family and most of my friends. I
decide I should sign up too and did just that early last week. Sign up
went OK and I wrote a few things to some of the people who I am now
"friends" with.
Next day, I go back to Facebook to see what the family & other
friends have had to say. I had gotten the e-mails from FB telling me
that everyone I wanted to be "friends" with had accepted. So I go to
sign in and they won't accept my password. I try 3 or 4 times
throughout the day but no luck. So I click the little "reset password"
button and wait for the e-mail telling me what the new password is. I
wait an hour & no e-mail. I wait half a day and no e-mail. I wait until
the next morning and no e-mail. So over the next few days, I try 2 or 3
more times to reset the password and still don't get an e-mail from FB
with the new password. VBS, I delve through the Help section and find
the "Trouble signing in to FB" and fill out the form and send it off to
them. Within less than 30 minutes, I have a reply asking me to verify
who I am by replying to that e-mail. I do this and wait another day.
STILL No Password. I wait another day. Still No Password. So the next
day, I respond to the original e-mail again and ask them what's going on.
No response yet so I'm not sure just what the deal is. I went back
and tried to reset the password again just a few hours ago but never got
the e-mail with the new password. VBS -- back to the Help page and
went through the whole routine of filling out the form, yadda, yadda,
yadda. I looked through the stuff at the bottom of the Home page to see
if there was any way to contact them but nothing was obvious. HMMM --
maybe I need to wade further into the Help Page to see if they have
listed any contact info -- like an e-mail addy. I did that the first
time I couldn't log in but not with much enthusiasm.
Needless to say, I am NOT impressed with Facebook! WHAT is wrong
with ordinary old e-mail or IM's? Of course, the nieces and nephews are
all giggling because Tia Mary is the only OLD person they know with
enough chutzpah to sign up -- LOLOL! Now, if I could just get access to
the *(*($*^#$^* site, I might be able to do some damage :-)! Anybody

I'll join you, Mary.
Once or twice a day I get a message from Facebook that I've been invited
to join.
I can't begin to tell you the number of things I've been invited to join
including credit cards to lower my interest rate, foreign rulers who want me
to exchange their money and car dealers who threaten that my warranty is
about to expire.
I do not blog, twitter, text and very rarely bling. The world will just
have to adjust. Polly

Well, I bling enough for about half the population of the Deep South.
You don't have to worry about not blinging enough -- I got you covered

I don't know if this will help but I had/have the same problem. They never
except my password. I found that I did not receive a reply when requesting to
change my password that first time because I used the wrong email address.
Since then, every time I want to go on FaceBook they don't except my password
so I request a new one then just copy and paste the same old password into
the box and everything is fine until the next time I want to sign in
The Key in my case was the email address..
Those youngsters that are giggling know what a blessing they have in you.

The problem could be that replies from FB might be stacking up in your
spam filter. Some spam filters just look at how many emails a sender
sends in a day and automatically weeds out those that exceed a certain
number. Check your email spam filter. I had problems with the same
thing. It will be straightened out eventually and you'll be hooked on
FB like everybody else. LOL
