No Social Ads on the home page. Just the ones in the News feed? Bizzare (logout) link at top of home page...

link doesn't work

Jerm · 1 year ago

I like it a lot so far! There are def a hand full off bugs and oops.

Eric Dewhirst · 1 year ago

Say goodbye to apps - there is no viral spread any longer. It is a bit of a "Thanks for coming out!" on the part of FB. They have the user base and not about funwalls and scrabulous - now it is all about friends news feeds. I think it is great for users and the grim reaper for app developers.

Cheers - Eric

It's not loading for me -- redirects me to the standard www.facebook.com site. Which .. itself seems to be loading only 10% of the time at the moment, alternatively giving me a "connection reset" or just an empty page.

Ray · 1 year ago

A bunch of apps have this message:

Please go back to the using old Facebook profile for now. Facebook has not given developers enough time to modify apps for this new profile so they will all be broken for a week or two.

Apparently a bunch of developers got together to coordinate this message. LULZ.

Matt Huggins · 1 year ago

Looks like HTTPS is now being used for account editing pages and the like. Try to navigate to the following URL, and you get redirected:

http://register.new.facebook.com/editaccount.php

Doug · 1 year ago

Yeah! GREAT NEW site! Apparently, my QuadCore IE7 Vista System is not comptible and needs to be "upgraded".

=============

You are using an incompatible web browser.
We detect that you're using an old version Internet Explorer that doesn't work very well with Facebook..

To get the most out of Facebook, please upgrade or download one of the following browsers:

Note: The beta site is currently disabled in IE6 because it's all messed up and broken. Don't worry, we'll have it working IE6 soon.

Mozilla Firefox
Opera
Safari
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Flock

Apparently visiting this release of www.new.facebook.com is considered your "opt-in" because now when I visit the normal facebook, I get redirected to the new one.

Ian Swanson · 1 year ago

The new home page is much better suited for advertising.

1) Facebook can now include the popular 300×250 ad unit… Before this FB could only use the odd 120×600.

2) FB’s ad strategy are ads within the news feed. The wider and more focused view on the news feed should help their inline advertising campaigns.

(who is FB’s competition in advertising that everyone except FB is overlooking? FriendFeed)

Overall impression - Congrats, the new home page is a much better design for the Facebook advertising team. We should see revenues jump considerably.

MariSmith · 1 year ago

Wow!! Removal of Social Ads? That's odd - surely they're showing up elsewhere as so many members have ongoing campaigns running. There's going to be a bunch of disgruntled peeps unless FB has something up their sleeve.

Hm, I'm in the San Diego Network and don't see the new design just yet... probably another day or two. And that new.facebook.com link doesn't work for me either - defaults to reg. site.

Cheers,
Mari

Social ads will be on right! · 1 year ago

I liked your concern for social ads. But they are keeping space on rightside of the profile, where they will likely to put ads, social or otherwise.

mojaam · 1 year ago

I always love the neatness and style of facebook designers, and now they definitely revamped the look to something more modern. The app menu is so cool, looks like windows start menu. Amazing web programming all around.

I noticed a few small features missing:
- No wall post count
- Can't browse by clicking Birthdays or Networks anymore
- Can't filter activity anymore, and perhaps RSS are gone?

I'll miss all those things and having everything on the same page (with the exception of people with too many apps).

Justin · 1 year ago

good idea

Kurt G · 1 year ago

Social Ads are not gone. Anyone with a Social Ad account got an email this morning with the details on the changes to Social Ads.

There will be two social ads on the right side of the profile pages, selected placement of one social ad on the home page.

Those with access right now can already see the ads.

Mary Specht · 1 year ago

I'm seeing Social Ads on mine. They're on the right instead of the left.

Jess · 1 year ago

Hey I use IE7 and have all the upgrades but the new facebook is still saying that its incompatable....do i need a different browser...i really like this one and don't want to use a different one if i don't have to but its just not working for me..keeps saying incompatable. anyone else having this trouble or found a IE verson that works?

Louise · 1 year ago

I'm getting the same problem as Jess. I have all the latest IE7 updates but it's still saying it incompatible. Help!

Cindy · 1 year ago

I too have IE7 and it still says it is incompatible and won't even let me go back to the old version or leave feedback! So, basically...I can't even use facebook anymore! NOT HAPPY!

Alex · 1 year ago

This is confusing i like facebook the way it is
I mean I am sure this will be nice and all however it is going to be too difficult for a lot of people to figure out and may be frustrating

Sue · 1 year ago

Totally ridiculous to not let you go back to the standard version when their system "has detected" that I am using an old version of IE - when I have just done a full system upgrade!! Maybe this is just a ploy to get people off of IE and onto some other browser. I'm not keen to junk my system up with yet another browser. Even deleting history etc doesn't let you go back to the old version - probably a registry setting but I don't have time to find it. Facebook are not doing themselves any favours on this one!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jonathan · 1 year ago

I am having the same problem with IE7. I have all the latest updates etc.. Wants me to update my browser. Very Annoying !!!!. I had to install Firefox so that I coiuld revert back to the old syle facebook. I will be sticking wih the old Facebook till this is sorted.

jaimee · 1 year ago

Jane · 1 year ago

HELP!!!

DarkRoseRequiem · 1 year ago

I have the same problem with my IE7.
Are they every going to fix it?
Or are we just never gonna be able to use facebook again?

KC · 1 year ago

At the office we are forced to use IE6. We aren't allowed to download and use any other browsers. As of this morning I can no longer log-on to Facebook using IE6. From home, using Firefox, it's not problem. Is there any way to get back to the old Facebook? It automatically sends me to the new one when I try to log on.

Loop · 1 year ago

The new design is a mess! It is a mess of information! Terrible Design!

Elza · 1 year ago

Me too!!!! Same issue as #8. I am running Vista too. I've tried FireFox, Frock, etc. Nothing works and now i'm shut out. I hate this new stuff. Bogus

Kendra · 1 year ago

Okay, I have /three/ web browsers and I tried to get to my facebook one each one. And /all/ of them keep saying something to the effect-

Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://www.facebook.com/home.php”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.



I just want on Facebook. I didn't know that added this new facebook would make that impossible. So at this time, I am trying repeatedly to get to it and across the browser it flickers from trying to connect from www.facebook.com and www.new.facebook.com and ends with it saying it can't re-direct properly.

HELP! I JUST WANT ON FACEBOOK!

Caitlyn · 1 year ago

Well at first it was working fine for me but now i cant get on facebook from either my desktop or my laptop! and im really mad. considering im trying to respond to a message from an out of state friend

Karen · 1 year ago

new facebook is messed up big time... CHANGE BACK TO NORMAL U TOSSPOTS

Pam · 1 year ago

I like the idea of tabs & the better organization available for folks with lots of apps & info but new design won't let me display all my beloved applications in left bar OR move them somewhere else as in past. I kinda miss the whole lot that was me (& others) being on one page--I edited as necessary. Best part of Facebook for me was seeing a snapshot of who someone was instantly. Yes, I can definitely see where re-design will help keep new ad dollars following in--I just hope I'll be checking in as often to view. I've re-verted to old FB interface for now...

David Sweeney · 1 year ago

new facebook is terrible...
upgrades should be "better"
this is not user friendly and simply doesn't work well

Megan · 1 year ago

I want to see the new one, but it doesn't load for me. Theres the little bar at the top when you first go to login that says "try the new facebook" (or something along those lines) but when I click on the link it's just the same ol' facebook

jess · 1 year ago

it doesnt work for me!! hahah i wanna see it but i click the link for the new fb at the login page and it doesnt change anything. tried the link up there ^^^ , still the same ol' facebook

danielle · 1 year ago

my pofile changed to the new facebook design
and i dont like it.
how do i get it back to the original one?

Kevin · 1 year ago

It looks exactly like MySpace. I wonder how long they actually spent on the new IA and layout...

tanya · 1 year ago

facebook is horrible now. i can only get into the newsfeed screen. if i click on anything else it says bad request or nothing happens. i'm not very computer oriented so all this confuses me. i'm going to end up quitting facebook because as far as i'm concerned it already quit me.

Lara · 1 year ago

Terrible design, hate the tab system. I like it all on one page. Please keep the old one - if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Jeff · 1 year ago

The new design is completely unnecessary. Just keep it simple and keep the old design. Spend more time fixing the facebook chat because that is a whole bag of mess.

Dejai · 1 year ago

If you've got the new facebook. You can go back. there should be a bar on the top of the facebook screen. and on the the upper right hand corner, it should have a link for if you want to go to the old facebook. I'd say. If you hate it, like I do, click on it.

Melissa · 1 year ago

I like th new design because it's easier to navigate with, but I hate how the feed and wall are combined. It makes the profile look so cluttered, messy, and disorganized.

Melinda · 1 year ago

I am so frustated, since having The New Facebook I had problems with apps like Social Me and Compare Hotness now I have no access at all, I can't get past the log in screen, I'm with Firefox but have also tried to get in with Internet Explorer and Flock and I can't get in!!!! Help!!!!

Spyko · 1 year ago

The new design is much cleaner and very nice to navigate.

Alex · 1 year ago

I just have to say that the NEW FACEBOOK is not very user friendly. They changed everything.

Rule: If its not broken why fix it. FB should just improve on what the users recommend. Changing the whole design & flow of thins just serves to disrupt whatever people already know. People have already gotten so used to the OLD FB interface. They know where everything is. And them boom, they changed it all. I can't even find the basic EDIT PROFILE link when i logged in??? Hmmm, why do all the social sites like to revamp their interface. Revamp design is ok, revamp interface?? its like changing your already successful strategy.

Its better to value add & keep value add, not change & be something new???

I am a Web Strategist, looking frm a strategy point of view, FB users are increasing rapidly, there is no need to change. Unless ur users r declining, like what friendster did. Friendster changed in the direction of FB to add newsfeed functionality etc & now they are slowoly getting back more users. But FB now, this change? for what purpose?

Alex

DesignMeetsTrafficBlog · 1 year ago

Well for those who have not gotten the chance to view the new facebook. Don't, there's no need to, its ugly. Stick to the old user friendly & tested interface.

Akila DJ · 1 year ago

New Facebook is better than the old Facebook.
Though some important features in old Facebbok is not in the new one.
It take some time to get used to it.
"Kotu Wechcha", compartmentalized, insode-cage people do not like the new design!

Kelli · 1 year ago

I deleted my Myspace account because I hated it's complexity, I love Facebook's simplicity and it meets all of my socializing capabilities...however...the new facebook is just chaotic. People enjoy simplicity these days, if you're going to force people to use the "new" yet "not improved" Facebook, then at least always give them the option to continue using the old facebook for as long as they want and make sure it's still in working condition.
P.S. I completely agree with Jeff (#47), Facebook isn't broken...but the chat needs some major reworking.

Olubodun Abiodun · 1 year ago

I don't know if its the new facebook but for the last couple of days I've had no access at all, I can’t even get to the log in screen, I’m with IE but i've also downloaded firefox3 (with the google bar) & its still not helping.
I need Help

Cassie · 1 year ago

I hate the new facebook! I don't know what's "simpler" about it. I want the old one back. I don't understand why users don't at least have the choice of which facebook they'd like to use. I garuntee I won't be using it nearly as much, and I know others feel the same.

Tim Gutai · 1 year ago

the old facebook was more user friendly and we feel as facebook users that you have over complicated something that is for fun!! we would appreciate if you would put it back the way it used to be! before everyone could use facebook ...even my mum...now it has been complicated i have to instruct people on the new layout! please go back to how it used to be - many of the items i had before have been deleted and i cannot find half the info i could before!!!!!!!!!!!!xxx
