How much does the new Facebook suck?

martha · 09-12-2008, 08:23 AM

Are they trying to piss people off and make them stop using it?

GirlsAloudFan · 09-12-2008, 08:28 AM

They still give you the option of using the old Facebook. So I just do that.

But, yeah, the new version sucks.

If I ever logged in I would know about this. What kind of changes?

I don't know how to explain it, but it's just SO different. It feels a lot messier and less clean. If that makes any sense. And there's all these annoying yellow pop-up help icons.

But, like I said, it doesn't matter because you can just use the old format.

Also, who wants to be Facebook friends with me?

I've been holding on to the old version like grim death... I hear the end is coming though...

rip old Facebook

I think the option to keep the old version will be permanent. They'd get too many complaints if they forced everyone to use the new one.

Also, good use of grim death.

I seem to recall a funny exchange between Jerry and Uncle Leo involving the use of "grim death"

hmm. I might have to log in this weekend and check this out. I hope you can keep the old format.. it's not too bad.

It fucking really sucks. They made it 10 times more user un-friendly. What the fuck!?

BoMac · 09-12-2008, 08:52 AM

I clicked on "check out the new Facebook" out of curiousity but now I don't know how to go back to the old!

Is there a way to go back to the old?

GirlsAloudFan · 09-12-2008, 08:54 AM

I will be honest, though, I liked it when Facebook was only used by college students.

Now there's all these old people on there. That's just not cool.

Thanks!

But, upper right side of my Home page or my Profile page? Am I that obtuse that I can't find it?

It should be there on both your home page and profile page.

So, yes, you are that obtuse.

I haven't even tried to navigate the new facebook much but yeah it does seem a little strange. The old one had all the profile info right there on one page but now it's a bit weird.
