OK, so I went to update my current location on Facebook, only to discover it doesn't exist, nor does my home town, or even most major English cities. In fact, the only places I can find in the United Kingdom which I can set as either my current location or home town are London and Manchester. Can someone else check their Facebook and see if they get the same issue?

There were very few UK towns on there when I last looked. There was a Northampton group called something like "We're not b!oody London!" |

The last time I checked there were the smallest of towns available to be chosen, but no longer it seems. A bizarre choice on the part of Facebook.

Go in to your profile > About > Living > then edit it. You just put in your location and Fb should pick it up on the map. I usually have difficulty with Blackburn, but Fb picked it up no problem. I just checked and it even recognises a little tiny village outside Blackburn, so I'd assume anywhere would be picked up. Mark |

Strangely when I do it it doesn't recognise anywhere but Manchester or London, maybe I'll try another browser. Nope, still nothing. I can't pull up anywhere I've lived, at all, and if I type "United Kingdom" I get the choice of Manchester or London. I can't even save what I enter as free text

OK just for giggles I've now tried it on a tablet (via the browser), a Windows PC (various browsers, including IE), a Linux box & even an Ubuntu Live CD; I get the same problem on each, it can't be a local issue, the issue must be Facebook's end. I have submitted a bug report in the vain hope that the problem might actually get fixed. |
