Guest Katia Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 This is just so weird. My dd logged on to her FB account, and the entire format of her account has changed. She commented, "not again". So I looked and it is really different and hard to navigate. Then, I checked her privacy and account settings, and many of them had been changed....grrr....so I changed them back. This was earlier this afternoon. So, I was thinking "when would mine change", only, it hasn't. It is still the same as it's always been. I logged on to my dh's account and his is the same as mine; like it's always been. My question is: why would dd's account/page format be changed and not ours? Could this mean she has been hacked? Do I need to delete her account? I really love FB as it's a great way for me to stay in touch with friends and family that live all over the country. But, if they are going to constantly change it and by doing so change our privacy settings, then I'm not so sure I want to continue with it, kwim? Has anyone else seen a change today? Anyone?

nutmeg Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 My eldest daughter's changed an hour ago, but not mine or my other daughter's. I'll go check her privacy settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skirch Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Mine hasn't but one of my friends posted earlier wondering what was up with FB and asking if anyone else's had changed. So it not just your daughter's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edithcrawley Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Mine hasn't changed yet, but a lot of people have status postings saying that their fb looks different. Maybe they are doing a pilot test of the new layout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgilli3 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 My FB layout had changed when I logged on this morning, however, my privacy levels had not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennW in SoCal Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Mine changed and I'm befuddled! It's tough on us old folks who don't adapt quickly to changes in this new fangled technology!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Katia Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Thanks for all the quick replies. I was really concerned. Yes, it is quite befuddling. (what a nice way to put it) Both dd and I were lost trying to find all the things that are so easy to find on the other pages. I wish if FB were changing things, or even just trying it out, that they would have posted a notice to those people and LET THEM KNOW. :glare: I didn't even trust sending a note to them, since I didn't know what was going on. Thanks goodness for the Hive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellyndria Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Mine changed this evening... but I was expecting it. The games I play on there have been saying for quite a while now that there were Facebook changes coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Katia Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Mine changed this evening... but I was expecting it. The games I play on there have been saying for quite a while now that there were Facebook changes coming. Well, that was nice of FB, but not everyone plays the games. Neither dd nor I do any of the applications. We just visit/keep up with our friends and relatives. For those of us that don't play the games, wouldn't a nice notice on our home page be beneficial? Wonder why they didn't bother with that this time? Last time there was a big change, it was on our home page every time we logged in. Hmmmm.......

ChristusG Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 My mom's layout changed, as well as one of my sisters. The layouts for my other sister and I have stayed the same. Facebook usually changed the layout slowly, and not everyone at one time. I'm not sure why.....maybe they are trying it out on some folks to see what sort of feedback they receive about it.

Arch at Home Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 What privacy setting controls news feeds? I have way too much on my home page. I just want to be able to skim other peoples' updates not every little thing they have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djsmom Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Mine changed and I don't like it...maybe once I get used to it but to me its not as easy to navigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Weird. Dh's changed. Mine and ds' didn't. Seems quite easy to navigate. But, why do they keep changing things?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jentancalann Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Then I think what you want to look at is the Status Update page rather than the New Feed page. I think :) Unfortunately, I think the Status Update page has vanished. I've only got "News Feed, Messages, Events, Photos, & Friends." Then applications, games, etc- no Status Updates. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Katia Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Ugh. Mine changed this afternoon. I hate it. It is not easy to navigate, and you have to go through every single option available for privacy settings, because they have changed quite a few of them; some options that were available are no longer available and FB took the liberty of making all the new settings at 'Everyone'. Wasn't that thoughtful of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to be able to skim other peoples' updates not every little thing they have done. You know you can hide the games and such that people do, right? Click in the upper right area of the post--it's blank, you won't see anything until you move your cursor over it. After your cursor is over it, it should say "Hide". Click that, and you can choose to hide that particular application (or hide the person themselves--I suppose you could do this if you want to ignore someone but not unfriend them).

Click that, and you can choose to hide that particular application (or hide the person themselves--I suppose you could do this if you want to ignore someone but not unfriend them). Right, but you have to do this one application at a time -- forever. I wish I could click "Don't ever show me any games again!" And, yes, my fb page changed. I now have a newsfeed that tells everytime one of my friends comments on someone else's status, etc., and no option for only status updates. I'm a pretty big fan of the FB concept. But even I am getting sick of their constant changes. Edited February 6, 2010 by Cindyg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscopterdoc Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Mine changed yesterday afternoon, I guess I was one of the first. I posted about it and lots of friends had no clue what I was talking about. Today some of them changed also. My privacy settings were not touched. I find it hard to navigate because there are some tags missing. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal in VA Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 My page changed. When I logged in this morning, at the top of the page was the information about what was different. I don't really see it as being harder to use...just different. None of my settings were changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have a newsfeed that tells everytime one of my friends comments on someone else's status, etc., Mine was like that before, though. I don't see a difference there. I saw (and now still see) when so-and-so and so-and-so become friends, and when so-and-so becomes of fan of something, and so on. I didn't/don't see when a friend comments on someone else's status (if that person is not one of my friends). I did/do see when a non-friend comments on one of my friend's status'. None of that bothers me. I haven't looked to see if that can be changed. We had a newsfeed before the change, in addition to our wall. Are you talking about something else?
