How to Get the 'Old' Facebook Back, Kinda
Last week, Facebook made some changes to its homepage news feed, and the Internet masses are up in arms (as they always are when anything changes). The new homepage moved the focus from live status updates, which can get overwhelming if you have a lot of Facebook-addicted friends, to a top "News Feed" that puts together a highlight reel of recent Facebook activity -- including new photos, birthday reminders, and relationship status changes.
Some people are clamoring to bring back the straight-up status updates, and while there is no way to revert back to the old(ish)-school Facebook home screen, you can at least get a decent approximation.
Simply click on the "more" link in the left-hand column, just underneath where it says, "News Feed," "Status Updates," "Photos," etc. When the list expands, drag the "Status Updates" entry to the top of the list, above "News Feed." Then, simply refresh your home page by either clicking your browser's reload button or by hitting F5. Just like that, the live status updates will be returned to their place of prominence. It's not perfect, but it should appease some of the cry-babies out there moaning about Facebook's new look.

This disservice comes up so slow it will have to make drastic improvements this week or I won't be back.

They also limit the number of friends activity. Click on edit options under live feed and make sure that the default number of 250 is at least the same number of friends you have.

I am having the hardest time loggin on to FB since they made the change. Most of the time it would tell me my Account is not available, this has gone on for days now and it is very frustrating

Hey, put it this way... do you PAY for facebook? NO. Do you contribute to the hardware or bandwidth cost? NO.
STOP WHINING. If facebook want to make changes, no amount of cry babies will change that. They provide a service to you for free. Hey, if i invite my mates round for drinks and a party, and ive changed my house round, guess what? its my house, i pay for it so ill have it however i see fit. Same with facebook, its free, if they want to make changes to it. deal with it.

See when they up dated to the new facebook I can no longer get on mine. I have a older computerand it doesnt take updates very well. I know I need a new one but It was fine the way it was. Atleast I could use it then. Not everyone has the best of computers and when they keep up dating stuff it pushes people out like me. I hate the updates

I wrestled with changes to Facebook, and wrote an article about it: http://bit.ly/9GM8bD I'm glad I have dealt with this irrational fear of change. The new design seems pretty intuitive.

I don’t know about this method, but I’ve found one that seems to have done the trick: go to
http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/group.php?gid=355200016040 for a
link to the tutorial. you have to fill out a quick ad first but it
works… did for me anyways.
