"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

Wtf happened? Is this "what's on your mind?" monkey business the equivalent of the old status...thing? I'd barely adjusted to the previous changes.

they've like moved the messages to the right about an inch? anything else that's actually worth moaning about ?

facebook sucks anyway, it's full of false notifications.

I'm starting to feel this more but I could do without my highlights consisting of some friend playing Vampire Mob or whateverthefuck.

Christ, I only hate this change cause some many people are updating about their hatred of the new design.

You don't appear to get random wall conversations between your friends in your feed anymore. I used to quite like that.

no updates about becoming fans or joining groups :(

im sure there'll be another redesign in a few months... that'll be even worse.

So all of you who are only complaining about this now, did you look at the preview they offered for the last couple of weeks?

i don't mind this redesign so much - it's not really that much different from the old one.

it seems like you can't choose to know "less" about someone, just hide them altogether, which seems like a big step backward.

how long before they get round to suggest ban.

that would be end times

yep, jaymc I did look, and thought 'oh no, it looks a bit rubbish', I even wrote and told them so. I'll be over it by tomorrow.

I think I like the rounded corners of the pics in the feed.

they're like the books and photos in battlestar galactica. FB = a cylon plot.

i've written in complaints to them before about 'possible redesigns' and 'changes,' and it doesn't make any difference-- they change whatever they want whenever they want. so whatever.

welcome to the gist of my status when the change spread to my login, haha..

redesign actually makes it slightly less intuitive to check event invites which is all that most people use fbook for now anyway, god

There's a little 'events' button at the top of the screen that takes you to the old-style events page. That drove me mad for a bit last week.

The ones who complain 'bout the change, how "ecstatic" were you about the previous change?

Uh no, I never used it. Then again I'm a recluse who loves the change. heehee

obviously you aren't "most people" i guess.

I'm use to it now, I have amazing powers of recovery.

The selection criteria in the "people you may know" area seems to have improved. Alternatively, it's the last remaining ILXors I haven't friended yet.

I am disappointed my Facebook breakup didn't receive the prominence it would have with the old design.

lol

^ conceits

What's particularly annoying about the new design is that it brings the 'Check Out This Quiz!'/irritating Superpoke shit back into the main feed.

obviously you aren't "most people" i guess.

Who's to say? Maybe the ones that are happy, don't shout about it, like you negative lot.
(Really, I just want to throw my hands in the air and ask: "You obviously have little in life to complain about if you target this. Me, I'm more bummed about my grandfather having cancer." )

You obviously have little in life to complain about if you target this.

okay this thought shot through my mind when i saw half my FB friends commenting about how they didn't like the design.

I guess it just bugs the hell out of me that some people on there live for the existence of FB, ie they update their status with every fucking breath they take. They upload their photos of their nights out FIRST THING THE NEXT MORNING!! it's like they're taking the photos just so they can show them off on FB, rather than to live their stupid lives.

But then, live and let live hey ho. I guess I'm also bugged for the same reasons that some ilxors are too attached to this place as well.

(ranting over)

i don't think anyone lives for fbook, really

surely people always took photos to show them to other people? they just now can do so more quickly and easily than ever before. what would be the point of taking photos and showing them to nobody?

It's a bit useless to kvetch about redesigns but I am culling the poll whores off my Friends list...

what would be the point of taking photos and showing them to nobody?

Lady, if you have to ask...

I still get friend reequests, and it makes me sad.

I don't want to bounce them, it feels like slamming the phone down.

I *have* added people who have requested me, that know me from 20 years ago (and not since), as it intrigues me as to why they want to contact me.

and then, the messages come in "Ally Pally has gone to the pub" or some such.

So, you ILXors, do not be offended if you see this and have friendreq'd me, if I haven't added you. I hardly go there.

i don't think anyone lives for fbook, really

really ?! wrong

updating your status often and uploading photos ≠ living for fbook

it's a total strawman

though it might just be that i have better friends than you

ohoho!

He who picks fault with other people's friends, is, um...

updating your status very often with such things as 'i am now getting dressed' ========================== living for facebook

though it might just be that i have better friends than you

some truth, these people i talk of i don't have any outside involvment with (friends of friends mostly).

ok, well, i don't know anyone who does that, big ups my non-living for facebook friends

also, how do you know these people are constantly updating their status and uploading photos the next day unless you yourself are constantly checking fbook??

omg

the script

she has been flipped

seriously i know these people, they're all mostly my sisters friends who've added me. There's one who constantly (and i mean every other hour of the day) adds a new U2 youtube video to her profile.

xp haha, no. i only joined fb to keep in touch with long distance relatives, and then of course every other bugger finds you.

I didnt really understand the hate for the previous re-design but this one sucks for obscuring relevant info and flooding you with "XXX scored 57 points at the "Which rodent would you be?" quizz" nonsense.

Was that in ILXr denying internet addiction upthread cuz c'mon guy.

an*

I like the new redesign because it replaced the "show less about this person" with "show nothing from this person" which has allowed me to get rid of all the mafia wars/endless updates from people who annoy me without having to defriend them.

I've been getting way less application spam in my feed since the redesign, but maybe I'm just lucky so far.

I'm also not getting updates for each individual delicious bookmark so-and-so has added or updates about so-and-so removing things from their profile or becoming a fan of whatever. So that's a plus.

idk the latter ('updates for each individual' etc) was part of the reason i used the damn thing, to keep up with my friends interests and what they were doing online
