NOt sure anyone here can help but just thought I would throw this out....when ever I click on a photo...mine or not, it starts flashing and jumping around the page...weird. Has this happened to anyone else? I can read and post on my own board and can read elsewhere but not click photos.

Haven't been on Facebook for a loooooooooong time. So it doesn't happen to me.
That sounds like a browser problem to me. Not that there's anything wrong with the browser. Only that things are coded in a way the browser doesn't handle as they intended (bad coding when they do that, but it happens often). A way to find out is to try another browser and see if it still happens.
I did a quick search. I can find one old link (4 or more years) of somebody complaining about the same thing. But no solution is given. Another link pretends to point to a similar or the same issue. This was the only thing I could find like that:
Nobody offered any advice about it, though.

Yes, Joseph!
It is absolutely the most aggravating thing in the world!
The damn feed jumps around constantly, whether I am reading a post, watching a video, writing or reading a comment, or scrolling!
It happens reguardless if I am using a FaceBook app or a browser to use the service.
It seems to get worse as my time on the site increases.
I have to completely log out and back in periodically, or else it becomes completely unmanageable and unbearable.
Nobody offered any advice about it, though.

I went on with Safari and when I click on a photo a circle keeps spinning. So... I go back to Chrome after that and clicked on a few photos and it stopped flashing. How strange is that? Thanks...maybe that did the trick.

Another issue with chrome was resolved, too.

I didn't think about it, but sometimes clearing the cache of a browser can fix odd glitches, too. Something to keep in mind the next time the inevitable quirk rears its ugly head.
