New Facebook

[debodun]

Anyone else use Facebook? It has changed it's homepage look. I don't like it. Why change something that's working fine? Besides after visiting FB in the new mode, it's is slowing up my browser something fierce (I don't know why that should be). There an option to change back to the "classic" look, but they are going to change permanently to the new version in September anyway.

I hate it, so ugly. eventually they are forcing the new look on us like you said.

I hate it also. I finally get comfortable with one format and they come along a totally mess me up and on a computer it doesn't take much.

I also agree. I rarely go to my account, usually to delete all these people from all over the world who want to be my"friend". I went there today, and there all these useless videos that I could care less about.

My friend has just mentioned that and she says she does not like the format. What get's my goat, as they say, is the fact that 'they' don't give you a choice. Ok maybe for a short period of time but then you have to change. Something has changed with my Windows 10, some sort of update, not the usual but more intense, if that's the right word, and it was awful for hours,. I had to switched of, not shut down as is usual ,for at least 5 times because the screen went black - nothing. Eventually 'they' gave a message that they were fixing something. Never had that message in the 3-4 years I have had the computer. Working now but it was a headache - literally. Would just like it if we could have a choice to keep what we like permanently. I don't want a Degree or Masters in Technology/Computer Science thank you. ☺

I went back to the classic look. I didn't know they will make it permanent in Sept. It's confusing to me.

I am with you "debodun" I open Facebook to see what my extended family is up to and BAM you get a 'new better Facebook' my bottom! They never even considered asking if we want the change... Like Yahoo when they changed over they allowed you to keep the old format if you wanted... not faceblock. I shut down my faceblock page if a company is that ignorant to its users then they will definitely loose my data that they sell to other businesses. It won't happen becuse so many people are in a trance with their faceblock page but everyone who doesn't like the new format should just shut down their page.

I was surprised and didn't really care for it.

It won't be long before this new version becomes the comfortable old version and when it is eventually replaced by a newer version I won't like that one either.

When you switch back, they ask why....

I find it to be easier on my eyes with the dark background and more efficient. I think they are copying Mewe a bit.

Dark mode is used on my iPhone.. I like it .. It is easier on the eyes.

Another vote against the new version.

I use Facebook a lot, so it ticks me off to have a new interface forced, with no recourse but "get used to it".

Software developers gotta eat, so expect change NOT to be an improvement, but just for the sake of change itself.

Am I missing something? I use it everyday and I’ve seen no changes. What’s different?

Me too Pappy! But now I've been forewarned at least. Sheesh.

 

[Pam]

The only thing I like about it is the dark mode which is definitely good for my eyes. The rest I dislike so for now I have switched back to old version.

Click on the drop down menu on FB.

Click on the drop down menu on FB.

Now I’m sure if I should Ken.

 

[deesierra]

My dropdown doesn't show "switch to new Facebook".

 

[Pappy]

Neither does mine.....

 

[Pinky]

I wish they would leave things alone .. "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

 

[Devi]

I hate the new layout. Mine has a "Switch to New Facebook" link in the dropdown on the right side of the blue bar. Hopefully they won't make the new layout mandatory.

 

[Lewkat]

The new layout is supposed to be permanent in September. I don't like the idea that I cannot now control my news feed from current to top topics and vice versa.

 

[Repondering]

I don't like the new FB homepage either. A week or so ago they gave me the choice to return to "classic FB" and I did, but now the new is mandatory come this September. Also, my browser is a bit 'twitchy', sometimes a bit slow and sometimes a bit abruptly too sensitive to clicking and scrolling......I wonder if there's a connection?
