OH MY GOD

WHY?!?!

[Tung]

just set it to the old settings. i didn't even heard of this new facebook settting. O-o

[*paperplane*]

http://blog.new.facebook.com/

you'll get prompted soon enough, and then it will assuredly become permanent in all its shittiness

[tokyo-rose]

just set it to the old settings. i didn't even heard of this new facebook settting. O-o

You never check the Facebook blog? I read up on it and already didn't like the new Facebook. I see what they're trying to do, but honestly, the old Facebook is fine as it is.

I'll go look at it now..

[Amaranthus]

NOOOOOO!

It's straining my eyes.

[tokyo-rose]

I'll go look at it now..

EFF, I didn't think it'd be that bad. It reminds me of MySpace's new homepage, and I hate MySpace. >_>

[Tung]

No, I just usually just log on my facebook, and see if I have any new notifications, and if I don't I go to check pictures of friends who been tagged or if they got new pictures. After I'm done, I log out, and yeah. I could care less about the news, or blog Facebook has.

[moninja]

ew man. they better have an option for the old and the new 'cause the new is sooooooo ugly, fat and colorless :[

[tokyo-rose]

No, I just usually just log on my facebook, and see if I have any new notifications, and if I don't I go to check pictures of friends who been tagged or if they got new pictures. After I'm done, I log out, and yeah. I could care less about the news, or blog Facebook has.

Oh. I don't read the FB blog a lot, but I read it to see if bad changes would be made to the site. And I use it often enough so that I mind the new homepage.

Reverting back to old settings now.

[*paperplane*]

I don't read the facebook blog either, but I read other people's statuses. I also saw when a bunch of people became "fans" of the facebook preview about this a while ago. I thought it sounded horrible then- the mini-feed and wall combined WHY- but it's even worse than I had anticipated.

Last.fm changed a few days ago, and everyone on there is throwing a fit, but it now seems like they made the best change ever compared to this.

[KryMeARiver]

facebook sucks already. apps are retarded, just like CB mods.

[Tung]

blahblahfasfs

[queen]

hrm, i see they're going for the trendy web 2.0 feel.


i guess i could live with it.

[Joanne]

Um... ew? What the hell is this?

[ReggieM]

ewww everyone click back to old.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

I had to reactivate my account for this shit. It's pretty different, but since I haven't been on in over a year, I could easily get used to it.

[Tung]

^ 12chan > 4chan > 7chan

[*paperplane*]

facebook sucks already. apps are retarded, just like CB mods.

you can block that shit, though

there was an article in TIME about 4chan. I LOLed

[Tung]

Whoa, how do you block FB application invites?!! This will save me alot of stress.

[queen]

^ there's a link that says "block this application" in the notifications list. there's also "stop these invites" for certain ones.


i'm thinking to maybe activate the new look now, just so i'd get used to it.

[*paperplane*]

http://tech.karbassi.com/2007/09/19/automa...k-applications/

Rather than blocking invites, it blocks app visibility.

Actually nevermind, I don't think that does, but there's some kind of greasemonkey script that does.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

^ 12chan > 4chan > 7chan

I agree. But it's filled with 4chan's exiled ephebophiles.

How did 4chan make TIME? That seems impossible.

[mipadi]

Two things I hate about it already:

1. My personal info is on a tab -- a tab that's not shown first by default (the wall is). I go to pages to look at that information, not to read walls.
2. It stretches my browser window, and forces me to scroll horizontally. When will web designers learn that (a) some users have small screens (although I hardly consider 1024x768 to be small), and (b) not all of us are foolish Windows users who automatically expand every window to the entire width and height of the screen.

[technicolour]

This is disgusting. Facebook messed up.


Revolt?

[mipadi]

No one revolted after the News Feed was added, so I doubt that'll happen.

Except I might leave, but I was thinking of doing that anyway.

[KryMeARiver]

How would you "revolt" anyway?

[Tung]

sHe's joining a "STOP THIS NEW FACEBOOK SKIN" group.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

DDoS seems like the only possible way to revolt, and that would be really difficult, with the facebook server size.

[technicolour]

Eh, I don't know.

At least when Myspace did their redesign they kept the ability to keep the old settings. Yes, I know not a lot of people use Myspace anymore, but still.

[*paperplane*]

Would someone like to take a screenshot of this myspace redesign for me? I cannot be assed to figure it out myself. Although why anyone would complain about a change in the myspace website is beyond me.

[Tomates]

Thats gay. I cant even use f**king Internet explorer on it and i dont really want to use mozilla because it doesnt have all my bookmarks and such.

[Tung]

Thats gaystupid. I cant even use f**king Internet explorer on it and i dont really want to use mozilla because it doesnt have all my bookmarks and such.

anyways, you do know you can transfer your bookmarks, etc. when you install firefox and load it for the first time right?

Exactly. Not that my resolution's not big enough for it, but it's still unnecessarily wide. There's far too much extra space between the newsfeed and the right sidebar. And while I use Windows, I still nearly always have more than one window at a time.

firefox >>>>>>>>>>> IE

Revolt?

oh snap. it's flardnarff

the first mod to ever warn me. a design staff who warned me for CC stuff.

i didnt know that.
I guess i could still try to if i can.
But im so use to Internet explorer

[technicolour]

^ Firefox is pretty much amazing in that it creates a transferable user profile, with all your settings and stuff. It's so much better than IE.



Haha, I was wondering when you were going to realize it was me. Heh. I warned you? I seriously do not remember this. Maybe it's due to lack of sleep.

Smallville links?



Oh, and I seriously would take a picture of the myspace redesign but I haven't quite figured out my Mac yet.

[Tung]

You pmed me links to watch streaming smallville episodes.

please don't warn me nicki.

I have no idea why they decided to hide the information section. I agree completely, when I visit other people's profiles I go to look at the information they've undoubtedly spent time putting together so other people can read it. However, as you and I have discussed before, there aren't many people who actually enjoy reading what other people have to say anymore. Most people care only about their own posts and if someone replies to one of their posts, so it seems like that's the direction social networking has decided to take. I still think it's trash and it's not doing anything to help, it's just taking the problem, then accepting it and running with it.

You're right, 1024x768 is hardly small. The way I tend to browse (also on a mac), my windows fill a little more than half of my 13" screen, so I could be viewing somewhere in between 800x600 and 1024x768. And I remember when that used to be large..

[manny-the-dino]

Ewww I hate it too! I'm using the old skin.

[Just_Dream]

i dont like how xanga changed

I know, right? Dude, xanga totally reminds me of the yahoo page or something - it's cluttered. Except for xanga, it's full of useless stuff, but I don't care anymore since I stopped logging in. It's confusing though if I want to view my page with my original skin. Actually, I thought xanga looked more cluttered than the new myspace skins that are available. Fortunately myspace allows me to use the old skin for the home page.

As for facebook.. Oh man, seriously it just looks more cluttered this way. What a bunch of wasted space. I mean seriously, it looks fine the way it is right now. Damn, so they're going to make it permanent for everyone?! Aww :[

[rnicron]

it's too...cluttered.

complaining isn't going to help. before the last facebook redesign, the people of facebook created a group to show off images of how everything was going to look post flip. there was tons of feedback about what people did and didn't like, and if you were to go back and look, most, if not all, was overlooked.

[mackenziee]

ugh , that just makes me confused, if I had that set.

[AimeeLynn]

eww i hate it too

[Vyrrei]

Facebook won't even load for me...

[ToxicTaco]

^ sucks to be you.
Myspace should work.

[AimeeLynn]

Facebook won't even load for me...

Your suppose to be logged in

[Vyrrei]

Your suppose to be logged in

I went to the one without the new. part and it doesn't load.

[ersatz]

I spent so much time compiling all my info and no one will EVER see it. This sucks. I actually kind of liked having the feed on the homepage and the way profiles were set up...and they did so much work on apps when there's no point now; who the HELL is going to look at the "Boxes" tab?

[tokyo-rose]

i didnt know that.
I guess i could still try to if i can.
But im so use to Internet explorer

All IE users are reluctant to switch over, but once you get accustomed to Firefox, you'll never want to use IE again.

2) facebook already upset me with all the tons of damn applications and the "online friends" being in only the "facebook chat"

Same here. I've always hidden my online status there, but I'd still check to see who was online by clicking "Online Friends." Now I have to go online, see who's on, then sign back out. It's not like it even takes that long to sign in and sign out; it's just that it was a bad decision on Facebook's part to make that change.

[LoveToMySilas]

Am I the only one who doesn't see a difference in Facebook? am I doing this right? I clicked the link you gave me, Nicki, but uh...it looks the same.

[AimeeLynn]

You logged in right jane?

[LoveToMySilas]

^ Mmhm.

[*paperplane*]

Did i put www in my link? It doesn't work without

[AimeeLynn]

Really? http://www.new.facebook.com

I just tried it and it worked for me.

[LoveToMySilas]

YOWWW! Wowie.

Looks like that time when Myspace tried to go all futuristic. I mean, I never liked facebook that much in the first place but...ew. >_<; Back to old facebook! Back to old facebook!

[AimeeLynn]

^ You're listed as in a relationship? I thought you broke up.

Yeah I didn't update it....

It says it's complicated


I hate it...

It hides the bumberstickers and everything.

The updated info is together with the comments.

[tokyo-rose]

YOWWW! Wowie.

Yeah, just click the "revert" link at the top.

At least we can revert back, but mainly it annoys me that Facebook made such a bad decision in changing the homepage and profile setup at all.

[Joanne]

I'm pretty sure I'll get used to the new layout if Facebook decides to make it official... I think I was pretty against the current layout when it first came out. Or the chat thing anyway.


Or am I just imagining the fact that it used to be different?

[AimeeLynn]

^ NOOO!!! WHYY!?!
I hate it.

^ You have a very strange last name.

I whited it out

[Tung]

It says you updated it today.

[Joanne]

Tung's heart is broken now.

[AimeeLynn]

It says you updated it today.

Aimee is listed as in a relationship and it's complicated.5:39pm

[Tung]

Tung's heart is broken now.

naw, i got a date this coming thursday with the ex.

[LoveToMySilas]

It says you updated it today.

I thought you loved me.

Eh, its like when any site comes out with a new layout, it looks weird but if you have no choice, you just get used to it and can't imagine it any different. But...I still like the old layout either way.

[AimeeLynn]

naw, i got a date this coming thursday with the ex.

[Joanne]

Jane, I love your avatar.

/random

[Tung]

I thought you loved me.

Of course I do.

[AimeeLynn]

[Vyrrei]

You missed a spot.

[Tung]

lmao you left your profile ID on there. totally useless to white out your name then...

[AimeeLynn]

opps

Stalker lol

But to be fair, most people fought against the newsfeed. Nevertheless, that was a smaller, less ridiculous change, and you can hide what you don't want public.

[Amaranthus]

It's still ugly.

[*paperplane*]

If you open it up without the window maximized, it cuts off the whole right side.

arghhhhhh

[The-March-Hare]

Oh, my.

Well, this is utterly intolerable, and WHY IS MY WALL IN MY MINIFEED?

[tokyo-rose]

But to be fair, most people fought against the newsfeed. Nevertheless, that was a smaller, less ridiculous change, and you can hide what you don't want public.

Oh, I know that. I didn't want it either, and I have everything hidden from showing up in my mini-feed.

[Tung]

Well, this is utterly intolerable, and WHY IS MY WALL IN MY MINIFEED?

forreals, that's probably the stupidest idea they added to this new facebook.

[Vyrrei]

Link removed as requested.

[AimeeLynn]

woah u seriously saved that in your comp

:sadness: i feel bad for you

[Tung]

report her! doit doit

[Joanne]

Anyways... yeah, I hope they don't make this defaulted.

[AimeeLynn]

report her! doit doit

oh I will

[rnicron]

idk why she whited out her name...all i have to do is type in the url and get it.

[AimeeLynn]

Exactly I erased the URL and she posted my URL again

[rnicron]

internet = free game

dont post what you dont want known

[AimeeLynn]

^ I didn't realize I forgot to white out the url.

[rnicron]

you can't take it back once it's posted

[AimeeLynn]

Weird. She saved it on her computer. creepy

[rnicron]

cache

[*paperplane*]

you don't have to actually save these things, as I have learned

[AimeeLynn]

really? woah. I'm glad I don't

[rnicron]

again, cache

[*paperplane*]

Why has no one taken myspace screenshots for me yet?

[aaayotiffany]

i used it for like two minutes and i said fxck it, i'm going back. i hate it so much. its ugly & wtf is up with my wall in my mini-feed?! hopefully they don't make it permanent.
