I don't like the new facebook look - Page 2

People just don't like change. Everyone will get used to it, eventually. It's free, so who are we to complain?

In a perfect world, Facebook will go back to Beta. Everything was just so basic and easy to figure out.

I don't see what the big deal is either. On my home page almost everything looks the same as it did after the last change. Except now I can see more updates from more of my friends, which is a good change I think. If you are seeing stuff you don't want to see, do what I did and go into your settings and adjust them.

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.

I did kind of like that...but I keep my profile private anyways, so it's not such a big deal.

Exactly...there are portions of it that I don't like as much, but at the end of the day I don't think it's a big deal.

i miss the tabs at the top for status updates, photos, etc...now it's all jumbled together
i don't care about seeing so much about the quizzes everyone's taking

I liked how it was this is basically the same thing but the people you might know thing is lower

seriously, if you have an opionion, i'm glad were not "friends" or whatever that means to facebook

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 · #28 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

But that's the problem...you can't. I've looked -- don't need to see every quiz result out there -- but as far as I see, I can't filter the "junk mail" from the real content on my wall. It's all or nothing, and I don't like that.

If someone knows something I don't, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF DUCKS SHARE!!!

That's the link to apparently go back to the old one. I did the steps and it didn't work, so now I'm downloading Firefox (which I've heard is better than IE anyways). I hope this works.

eta: I couldn't get it to work.
