The new facebook layout is weird
Why did they think it would be easier to read with all the sections on different tabs instead of on one page? I can't find anything. :crazy:

1. I can't either...
I was one of those who waited until the change was mandatory before putting up with getting lost on my own profile.

2. I didn't even realize it was changing until it was permanent
I think it's not as user friendly now.

5. Facebook is weird. Period.
I don't do Facebook, Myspace, or anything like that.

I have my OWN space, on a shared host, which I pay rent for. This means I get to exactly decide the layout, and if I want ads who gets the revenue.

The downside is if someone wants to play silly buggers and hack the site then I get to clean up the mess. Wonderful!

Mark.

Dunno why, but that particular phrase always cracks me up...

13. Better than using the f word IMO.
I host the site for a church I used to attend... some git hacked in, calling themselves the Muslim Hacker with a SQL database inject. It was partly down to me; I hadn't updated the CMS software in a long time, so I cleaned up the DB, restored what they destroyed and updated the CMS software, plus installed an anti-hack patch. Hasn't been hacked yet :)

Mark.

6. It's ugly. It makes facebook suck more than it already does.

11. I found it kind of annoying from day one because I get 10,000 invitations from people
to use these shitty aps i have no interest in, meanwhile half these people can't be bothered to say hello to me. now my screen is cluttered with all these lame games and shit i want no part of.
gah.
i guess myspace is getting jealous, because it's starting to get nearly as bad.

17. That's what I do
There's always at least one person on the freind list who will keep sending out rubbish. It used to be my (now ex) girlfriend who used to do that for instance. She stopped when she realized that I just ignore it.

14. I'm the only one I know too!
I mean now I know TWO people with the old one. I haven't asked everyone but my friend told me he doesn't have the switch-back option anymore.

16. I'm still on the old layout myself
Haven't tried the new one, but the number of friends joining anti-new layout groups on there is a bit of a sign in itself if you ask me.

And if any DU Facebookers haven't joined yet, here's the DU Facebook group!
