Update: As of April 20, 2010, Facebook Lite is no more. Sigh.

*****

I don't know how many people use Facebook Lite, but since yesterday I've been getting a totally blank page when I go to it. It happens in all my browsers, but fortunately I've found a fix for it.

Now, if you do use it but you haven't set it to be your default view, you should be able to just type in www.facebook.com (instead of lite.facebook.com) and get back to the regular view without a problem. However if, like me, you have set it to be your default view, there is a big problem because www.facebook.com redirects automatically to lite.facebook.com, so you keep getting taken back to the blank page.

If you're having the same problem, you can type in lite.facebook.com/settings and the Settings page will come up. You can either use the link at the top right of your page (if you've set it up that way) to go back to regular Facebook, or you can go into your settings and change the default to regular.

Anybody else out there using Lite that has had the problem? If you've found another way to get your Lite newsfeed page to come back, I'd love to hear about it. I can barely stand the regular version anymore, what with all the noise in the Most Recent view and the missing stories in Top News!
