Tracy in Ky Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I just got the new facebook, and it appears as though getting "Most Recent" news feed is impossible--even though one clicks on "Most Recent." What I get is old stuff. Top News doesn't bring it either--that just gives me more old stuff. Has anyone figured this out? Am I missing something?

Nakia Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 The same thing is going on with my page. Whenever facebook changes formats, it usually takes a few days or a week to get all the kinks worked out. I hope that's what is happening this time, as well, because this is driving me nuts!

mrs.m Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 It's doing it to me and all my friends are complaining. I hope they fix it. I'm tired of reading updates from 6 a.m. this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avila Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Go on the left side under Friends and click on Status Updates. That will take you back to just those like FB used to. But it doesn't stay like that, so you have to click on Status Updates every time you get on. It seems to fix the missing post problem and clears up some of the extra stuff that nobody really wants to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and I did that thing were you set your feed to 5000) It's just wonky right now. I'm sure they'll fix it eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Katia Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I can sympathize; mine has been doing this all week. My dd posted three status updates in one day, but only one ever posted to my wall. The other ones (four days later) are still not there. What happened to them? So, I went onto my dh's fb acct. and checked his news feed. He, somehow, blessedly, still had the old format. All of dd's posts were on his feed. Why would they be on this and not on mine? She is in college and I need to have her statuses post to my feed!! And, while going through his feed, I found a status that my sister had posted.....and it never, ever hit my feed. Which really makes me mad, because she lives in another state and fb is the easiest, fastest, cheapest way for us to keep up with each other. Arrgggg! I needed to know that information when she posted it, NOT two days later when looking on my husband's account!! So today, there is nothing new since last night on there all day long.....then at 3:30 in the afternoon, I finally get some statuses posted 6 and 7 hours ago. sigh. Honestly, if they don't get it figured out pretty soon, I'm probably going to deactivate my acct. Younger Dd is seriously thinking of doing it right now. She has had it with fb and all their changes, and she is only 17, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4kiddies Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I am so glad I am not the only one! It is driving me crazy.... And farmville isn't working correctly either. I keep getting notified I have gifts but there are all from the same person and never there. I'm about to give up on the whole FB thing.

TMc Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 The new FB came today. Definitely not worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 The way I see it, it is their site and they are letting me use it for free. They can do what they want with it. I don't find the new format so horrific. I will adapt just like I did the last time they changed the format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I hate the new FB. I want the old status updates. I don't care about news feeds from yesterday if someone updated theirs an hour ago. It's confusing and... I just don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfatherslily Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I agree with all! I don't like it, but I'm guessing that I'll probably get used to it and eventually stop being so annoyed with it. But I do wish they'd stop changing things all the time. I really don't care who my friends' new friends are, or what they did on Farmville, or what groups they joined, or any of that. I used to check status updates, recent photos, links, and videos, and that was enough for me. The rest is just annoying. I'm guessing that they'll probably work out to bug of it not being up to date, cause then no one would want it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I just don't like it. I don't like it either, so I quit clicking my bookmark. :D I'll have to tell my sisters to pick up the phone.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Knoll Mom Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I don't mind the new format. However, the problems everyone is having with "Most Recent" not updating seems to be widespread. Hopefully they'll get it fixed soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy in Ky Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'm glad it isn't just me! I assume they will figure it out. If they don't, I too will use it much less. What's the point without up-to-date status feeds? lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I checked mine about 45 minutes ago and the News Feed seemed to be working! This was after 2 days of delayed posts, etc. I just checked again and it's back to being wonky. Grrr :glare:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milovany Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 How does one "refresh"? You should have a Refresh button at the top of your browser (mine is an arrow going around in a circle), but you can also put the cursor in the URL window and hit the Enter key. That reloads the page to the most current version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
