Anyone know how to change a facebook profile back to normal from the new timeline? - GoFuckYourself.com

uno · 01-24-2012, 10:00 PM

I fucking hate it and I'm trying to find a way to get it back. The only thing I saw so far is if you marked yourself as a developer and added it while it was pre-beta late last year.

Can anyone help with this?

You can go to settings and change the languages to UK then you should get the old look back

If that doesn't work some people have deactivated their account (not deleted) for 10 min and they have got the old look back, but it's hit and miss.

Good Luck

FB says you can't go back. You can delete your profile and start over, but isn't timeline mandatory now?

rowan · 01-24-2012, 10:45 PM

Can't wait until I'm forced to change to timeline. <-- sarcastic

It blows.

crazy, if anything they should be simplifying, not complicating, they will turn it from a site that many people go to many times a day, to a site that many will hardly bother to check once a week

hold on a sec, there are wars in the world, people are dying, kids are starving, and the facebook timeline is worthy of being "on the news"

Time line!

Funny... My niece and my son both can't stop talking about how much better it is.

epitome · 01-24-2012, 11:45 PM

The only thing I don't like about it is I'm still not used to most recent update on left, second right. I want to read up and down in a straight line.

otherwise, I was an early developer adopter and prefer it.

The news is a for profit venture that delivers what people want. Sad, but true.

"so get used to it"... or use it less, and go somewhere else

this is the likely result, a painful interface will mean less time spent on the site, similar to what happened to myspace, it got too annoying for people to use so they just went there less and less and it fizzled out

Biggest explosion of unusability I've seen in a long time, so tried to avoid it but it's coming.

MarkDeus · 01-25-2012, 08:45 AM

press CTRL-W.

Should do the trick

sperbonzo · 01-25-2012, 08:46 AM

Totally agree here. I switched over to it by mistake, just thinking I was messing around with it, and i could switch it back. I have noticed in myself that I went from checking it every day to every couple of days, and I feel like my usage is going to gradually die away to nothing.

This, or somewhere else. That's the result of changing something that works well as it is. I think every company needs to grow and add features, but they shouldn't appear complicated, done without some subtlety, and completely change the model that made your company what it is.

Wizzo · 01-25-2012, 08:58 AM

From what I understand, soon it won't be option but required for everyone.

CarlosTheGaucho · 01-25-2012, 10:51 AM

If you have a tip on a FB protest group against this that would have more than 100 likes I'm in, just joined about 7 of them.

bns666 · 01-25-2012, 01:07 PM

CaptainHowdy · 01-25-2012, 01:51 PM

seeandsee · 01-25-2012, 02:03 PM

everybody will get timeline very soon, so you probably cant if they give it to you

I think this will be the result more and more, I see many people losing interest in it, they are missing the fact that it was linear and simple is what drew people back minute by minute as the day went on, now it it painful to look at and I can see many people not bothering much anymore

You do realize that the timeline is YOUR status -- not the page where you read status updates from others, right?

Jesus Christ everytime they roll out an update there's such a massive bitch fest from the I CANNOT STAND CHANGE pussies. Fuck!

+1

Also I was just told by a friend of mine, that there was a blurb on the radio that Timeline goes "live" Monday

cherrylula · 01-25-2012, 04:24 PM

They want to turn everyone into a fucking solo site! I think people will leave if that happens. Google plus anyone? lol

docputer · 01-25-2012, 06:23 PM

There is a chrome plugin Old Facebook that will change it back along with some other methods.

Facebook forces Timeline onto users by August 8

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolog...-August-8.html

(Zuckerberg) said that he wanted people to be able to share ?their entire lives? on Facebook and have ?total control? over how their content appeared online.

I'll pass.

Maybe they think that will make the stock price go up

AllAboutCams · 08-02-2012, 08:45 PM

eroticsexxx · 08-03-2012, 03:00 AM

Early adopter here. Been using Timeline for a while.

After a short while, persons will see the benefits of it.

Better organization and control over every post, especially past ones.

I can jump back to 2007 in one click and see my first posts when I joined the FB, as well as the highlights of that particular year.

Those who complain may not be fully aware of the genius behind it, but it is.

nico-t · 08-03-2012, 04:00 AM
