The Simviation FB page seems to have changed. I'm told that FB has done this as part of a new design but I HATE it and want it back to what it was .. (shame we even have to have a FB page .. Roll Eyes

)

Does anyone know enough about FB to know how to change it back so we have a small thumbnail in the top left and the posts at the top of the page?

Thanks

The new design is called "Timeline" & I believe Facebook have started automatically upgrading pages to it.

I have looked & I don't believe that there is a way to change it back.

Bullitin - wait til you see what YOU TUBE going to do on march 7th 2012 , everybodys page is gonna totally change like it or not, and thats the 1st of many more changes too. I don't know why they just can't leave well enough alone and leave everybodys stuff alone, if it ain't frickin broke, quit tryin to fix it - its Annoying and time consuming trying to re-figure all this Techno- Junk out anymore !

Yes we're beginning to live in a world of corporate communism - where certain companies are trying to control our lives because they seem to think they know best & we are all idiots (OK many of 'us' are for not questioning them) - so a small few individuals are deciding how we should be living .... In rea;ity THEY are slowly taking away OUR freedom! - We must be aware of this & fight it!!

Actually it says 'Did you try the new Facebook timeline out of curiosity and now you want to know how to revert back to the old Facebook layout?'

I didn't do this or change ANYTHING. THIS IS SO FRICKING ANNOYING

I'm supposed to be doing other stuff ---- Roll Eyes

Yip, bout' 7 years ago, I dumped MYSPACE after they decided ya needed to have 400 other applications just to be on their site or it'd lock up ! Never did do FACEBOOK, not even once, never tried, I stuck with YOU TUBE, and that was good enough, just wish they'd leave it alone and quit changing stuff needlessly. Besides FB sems quite boring just from what i've seen of it . Right up there with that Twitter or quitter or whatever ya call it,, it all seems pointless to me. Lips Sealed

As a college student facebook is pretty nice and useful. You just dont put any information on their you dont want anyone to see and dont talk to people you dont want to. I get all kinds of wonderful tid bits on facebook from airshowbuzz.com, EAA, aviation week, Duncan Aviation, Dassault Aviation, USAF Heritage Flight Foundation, National Museum of the USAF, the Smithsonian Air and Space, aviationhumor.net, World of Tanks, World of Warplanes, and on and on. That and for college students it is nice to keep in touch with friends from other colleges as our lives are go go go 24/7 usually (sometimes without sleep, thank you homework Angry

).
