DON’T WATCH THIS VIDEO if you want to save time. I’m leaving the video up because it helps people find the second video which is a great solution and preventative measure. And there is a great discussion thread forming here from many people experiencing this issue and offering their help.

The very best way to fix this is to go here and create a free business account even though you may never use it:

http://business.facebook.com

Click Get Started. Fill out the info as if you had a business. The critical piece of info is the email address. It must match the one you login to facebook with.

Once your account is created you will land on your new business home page. Click your email address at the top right then in the drop down click “Go to my Personal Profile” and click once. Then you should regain access to your personal page again.

Jeremiah Gillanders commented below that this does indeed work: He says… “I created a facebook business account, then I loged into my personal account from the business account and that fixed the problem.”

Another helpful person reported this: When you get the white page, change the URL address to https://beta.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1 I did this in Chrome, where I had a FB white page, and my regular FB account opened immediately!!!!!

Report your issue to facebook here:

https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/268228883256323

Be sure to take this step to prevent this from happening again:

Here’s a screen shot about the setting mentioned: http://screencast.com/t/EjYnMjnQfca

It’s on this page: https://www.facebook.com/settings

If the fixes listed here do not work, it SHOULD RESOLVE over time on it’s own but you can PREVENT it. It may take a few days or weeks to resolve.

Things Myself and Others Have Tried to fix it…

1) Clearing Cookies and Cache

2) Getting Latest Version of Java

3) Getting Latest Version of Adobe Flash Player

4) Different Browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari)

5) Login to a different Facebook Account (Which did work and which shows it’s not your computer but rather a specific facebook account issue)

6) Microsoft Security Essentials Antivirus Software

7) MalwareBytes Software

8) CCleaner

9) [NEW] Remove malicious inserts into your hosts file. Ask if you need help with this. Video coming soon.

Also try this:

When you see the blank page change the address from https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1 to https://beta.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1 and hit enter. Then type in your username and password and you should see your timeline again. For me it worked but I always have to do it this way to access my timeline. If you are able to get in, follow this video to prevent this from happening again:

Another person shared this: What finally worked was changing my password with the mobile app and then logging back in from my laptop.

https://youtu.be/KBJuq5yRwUs (How to prevent)

Please share with your facebook friends so this never happens to them.

To all the haters out there who take their precious time to cuss at me and leave hate filled comments on this video….

I’m really trying to help people. Smart people know that it took Edison over 10,000 trials with the long lasting light bulb and knowing what doesn’t work is just as valuable as knowing what works. There is no failure…only feedback. I will just delete your hate filled comments so just move on and don’t waste any more of your time

I’ve not failed! I’ve found 9 things that don’t work….and that should save you some time knowing that!

The New NinjaTrader Brokerage Reviews:

New Ninja Trader Brokerage Reviews: Lowest Commission In The Industry?

http://daytradingacademy.com/day-trading/ninjatrader-brokerage-reviews/embed#?secret=2sYEkjPPh0

A review of the new Ninja Trader Brokerage. Ninja Trader and Mirus Futures have officially merged to create a platform and brokerage combination. Very similar to Tradestation. Now NinjaTrader and the new NT brokerage will offer the most competitive commissions in the industry.

This is absolutely unprecedented and they have now become the most competitive emini futures brokerage in the industry. Mirus futures has always been a good broker to have when it came to futures brokerages. There was a bit of a hiccup when there was a situation with the Zen Fire feed at the beginning of this year. Now however, they are backed up by one of the largest charting platforms in the world for futures. NinjaTrader has also started to expand to other markets included Brazil to be able to trade local markets. This is a tremendous advantage to be able to access local markets.

We have been looking to start developing the Congressive Trading Strategy for other markets overseas including the Brazilian BOVESPA exchange. Many of us at DTA have had accounts with Mirus for quite some time. Now with the new lower commissions they will become the cheapest emini brokerage in the industry.

There will be new reviews coming out for the NinjaTrader Brokerage shortly as more and more people will look to take advantage of the new discounted rates. We have been using NinjaTrader and Mirus for quite some times.

Our new Ninja Trader Brokerage reviews the new commission structure. NinjaTrader is already known to be one of the foremost platforms to use in the industry. Mirus Futures has already been a great broker. To team up and provide the combined services allows Ninja Trader to officially compete against Tradestation.

If you are a new trader we would highly recommend starting with NinjaTrader because you will be able to save a considerable amount of money. We show in the video that you will be able to save between ,000 to ,000 in commissions. This is compared to Tradestation which turns out to be much more expensive especially with their monthly fees. You have to have a brokerage account with minimum ,000 in funds in order to avoid the extra charges. Even with a brokerage account a trader will have to pay a month for the platform. One must also consider that Tradestation charges data fees.

The new Ninja Trader Brokerage and new 8.0 platform will be impressive and provide a formidable trading platform for years to come.
