Since last night,I can't see the chat sidebar.
I can't send or see a message. facebook.com/messages returns a blank page with the header only.
And ton of other problems. :cry::cry:

Anyone having the same problem?

I don't have a facebook. But did you check for plugins/extensions problems on the browser? Sometimes ad/tracker blockers block whole features because whole features are trackers/ads and were made that way to purposefully profit by force.
 
I usually experience one facebook glitch or another. Try clearing your cache and restart the browser.

It's OK now. Maybe a browser problem. Never mind.
