Facebook Facelift Now Permanent

When the new version appeared weeks ago, the over 100 million Facebook members had the option to switch back to the old version or stay with the new. Mark Zuckerberg, the 24-year-old founder of the site, said that 40 million users tried out the new version and 30 million kept it. Not everyone is impressed: A group with a petition against the redesign has over 900,000 members as of Wednesday.
It remains to be seen if the backlash against the redesign and the ultimate success of the change will rival that of the Newsfeed or Beacon updates. So, what do you think? Are you cool with the new look or do you want your old version back? If you don't like it, let us know the reason. If you're freaking out, just calm down – you'll get used to it eventually.

I'm happy to say that I still have the old version on my profile! We all hate to have to learn new things. I hated switching from Windows 95 then I hated switching from the other 87628376438798734 versions until I had no choice but to get used to them. I like Vista just fine now. The world has no choice but to accept change as it happens!

I am one of the users that want the old Facebook back. I find this new design very unwieldly to navigate. There is not an easy flow between "boxes" It takes away some of the fun.

i feel like the only guy who's actually liking the new facebook.

I don't care either way... whatever

As one commenter pointed out, change is inevitable. True. But why force change on people when there was nothing wrong with the old way? Why not let people choose? Make a new version and let us vote. I like the old version better. The new one seems off. The old one had all my things easily accessible on the front page. Now you have to click here and there to see different things. I went to my daughter's page to see her new bumper sticker, and I couldn't find it on her site.
I don't like Vista, though I use it. Just because change is inevitable doesn't mean it's for the better. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

First off, it is permanent. Secondly, I HATE IT. There is something wrong with looking at my wall, and other things on a horizontal scroll across the screen. They should have kept the option of the old facebook.

I hate the new layout. The navigation is terrible.

I coped with this situation by simply not using Facebook anymore. They've gone from one of the best web layouts to one of the worst. It's just a bunch of garbage randomly thrown on the screen, it's near impossible to tell what's what. There's way too much competition in this space to bother with a site that completely cripples its navigation.

I absolutely hate the new Facebook. Everyone does! I don't know if I have talked to anybody who likes this layout better. The wall takes up practically your entire homepage. People enjoy Facebook because of all the neat apps, and now you have to click all over the place to find them (if you get lucky). They shouldn't have changed something that didn't need changing!

I wouldn't hate the new version if only I could use it!! I mean, for example: I can't see my "Online Friends" so I can't see who is on, I can't use the chat, I can't "say something", I can't change the language of my Facebook (I'm Spanish)...etc.... Do you need more reasons....I have plenty of problems with the new version.... Can anyone help me to get back to the old one? Thnx. XX

i love the new facebook. its so much easier to look at peoples profiles since you don't have to look at their 50 million apps unless you want to. it makes it much easier to comment on peoples statuses, pics, walls, etc. it did take some getting used to, but now that i am, i absolutely love it. its easier to access your own apps because they're built into the bottom bar all the time. its also easier to edit your profile and see how it looks right away.
lwalker6090Oct 27th 2008 7:49PM
nothing about being able to see which friends are online, chaging the language or your status has changed. its just in a different spot now.
i think you all are being big babies. change is obviously hard to cope with, but you need to get over it. the new facebook is here to stay, and once you figure out how the hell to use it (and its really not that hard) you'll stop complaining. you're all acting like they got rid of stuff....when they didnt. they just made it so you don't have to look at everybody's obnoxious layouts with numerous apps that you don't care about. all of their apps are still easily accesible under the 'boxes' tab. or they might have a quick link if they've sucked it up and dealt with it, too.
so shut up about it already! id be more pissed if they went back to the old version
