I'm usually open for change, but the font size is irking me slightly. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer a smaller font. Now I feel like I should pick up one of those thick pencils you use in the first grade to learn penmanship in inch-high letters.

And I'm guilty of confusing my newsfeed with my friends wall. Now I just stick to using wall-to-wall. Still has my preferred font size and no confusion.

Oh it's not just that. If one of your friends sends a "gift" to a bunch of friends, it shows a status for every single friend they sent it to. TOO much crap on there.

I LOVED this format. I'm hoping they listen to their users and go back.

unless I havent figured it out yet, the only way I know to see a list of my groups, with highlighted info about new posts, and new members, is to click on settings and then click on groups from the apps page. I HATE this. I want a Link from my home page to view all of my groups, and if there is availability to set that up, i havent figured it out yet.

AGDee · #10 03-21-2009, 07:59 AM

You can bookmark the groups so that they show in the bottom left hand part of your browser all the time. I've done that with my favorite apps. I don't remember how I did it though. I also like to be able to go to all my groups quickly as the Crohn's group is a really good support group and I post it on it often.

I am annoyed by just how much is showing in the news feed and do wish we could configure that so we didn't see all the invites to apps and gifts to everybody that a friend sends out. I do want to see their status', photos, etc., but not all the other stuff

Photo tags: Facebook will add photos tagged with a person's friends to her stream.

I know someone who is going to freak out about this. He had FB drama yesterday because one of the women he is dating posted pics of the two of them doing things together and tagged him. Another woman he is dating saw them and freaked out on him. Both women KNEW he was dating others too and claimed to be doing the same and claimed they were ok with it. Woman #2 went ballastic though, ranting on and on about how hurt she was. Kinda crazy. All because the pics were posted on HIS wall. If those pics had been in her stream too, yikes!

It seems like I have been getting a lot of friend request from people I dont know every since this change. Now thats strange

Thrillhouse · #13 03-26-2009, 11:47 PM

I want to see the status updates of my friends - not every damned thing that they post or every conversation that they have, what we have now is totally useless. I cannot count on seeing any of my friends items because the sheer volume of all the crap we get drives everything off the page in a very short time, and of course, no one can see my stuff. It is all spam and all useless now.

Yet..... I'll still continue to use it.

this pretty much sums it up

My notifications also only used to be "real" notifications, when someone responded to my status or sent me a wall post or Alpha Gam gift, etc. Now, 90% of my notifications are spam for apps. But, I guess that's helping pay for FB, so I'll deal with it.
