weird error on facebook saying my account is unavailable for an hour because of site issues? - Sam R - 11-09-2012 10:18 PM
Account Unavailable
Your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. It should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Don't worry about it Sam. I know some accounts which are currently unavailable. Just give it a couple of hours and your account will be back
Your facebook account may be on a different set of servers compared to your brothers and moms accounts. Facebook accounts are spread of huge set of servers worldwide (In various data centers).

This seems to be a periodic issue, it happens all the time, but only to certain users at any given time, most likely as stated already because of the server it's on.
I just got the issue about 4 hours ago. My roommate logged into his page fine and looked at my page one minute and there were no posts on my wall and all my photo albums were gone, but my friend list was there. He refreshed the page and everything showed up again. Logged out and logged in and it was all gone again.
A google search brings up various people that have had the issue last for several day, which is not a comforting thought, but seems like Facebook don't have a standard ETA on the issue - so it's a wait and see I guess.
