Someone, PLEASE, tell me how to avoid it. I think I'm going to be switched over tomorrow. A few months back I was given the option to decline it, which I took, but I have a feeling it's going to foisted on me now, whether I like it or not.

Deactivate?

mellen · 25/08/2012 17:46

You dont have to use facebook Grin
I quite like timeline...

minikimmi · 25/08/2012 17:47

I don't see what the big fuss is about. I usually just have my newsfeed up and barely notice I've been changed to timeline as I don't sit and stare at my own page.

Noqontrol · 25/08/2012 17:47

Don't think you can. Its been foisted on me too. Although its not as bad as I thought.

BulldogDrummond · 25/08/2012 17:48

What is it?

clam · 25/08/2012 17:49

Yeah, DH has suggested I de-register. Some hope. almost as much of an addict as on mn

bulldog It's a bit like someone coming in and fiddling around with your desktop, moving icons, changing backgrounds and so forth.

Remember when MNHQ altered the layouts on here? Everyone stropped, so they gave us an option to keep classic.

Ive been warned its going to be foisted on me on Tuesday.

MadgeHarvey · 25/08/2012 17:53

There is a Firefox add on you can get that masks Timeline so you think it still looks the same. I'll see if I can find the link. I may be some time..........

Northwentsouth · 25/08/2012 17:55

It was foisted on me yesterday. Not impressed!

JumpingThroughMoreHoops · 25/08/2012 17:56

Ditto - its hideous when you game play

summeraupair · 25/08/2012 17:57

I've seen so many people on Facebook/Twitter wailing on about this. I personally got Timeline when they were trialling it (by pretending to be an app developer) and I really like it - but if you don't, it's a bit of change on a website, not the life-changing disaster some people seem to think it is. A tiny bit of change doesn't hurt!

gothicangel · 25/08/2012 17:57

just a question, why do you not like it?

MadgeHarvey · 25/08/2012 17:58

Try This

It only masks it though! Worth a try if you really can't get on with Timeline

clam · 25/08/2012 18:05

Thanks madge

Do I have to wait until it's switched over though?

I love Timeline Grin

DH hates it!

MadgeHarvey · 25/08/2012 18:11

Yes - I think you'll have to wait else the fix might not know what it's meant to be fixing! Maybe.

Clawdy · 25/08/2012 19:12

Mine's being changed tomorrow too. Why are they forcing everyone? That timeline layout is much less clear to look at than the existing one Angry

hiviolet · 25/08/2012 19:14

I honestly don't understand what the fuss is about. People have been bleating on about it for months, and in that time they could have just, well, got used to it?

Tee2072 · 25/08/2012 19:16

Social Fixer add on for FB let's you look the way you want it.

WorraLiberty · 25/08/2012 19:17

I hate it

It confuses the fuck out of me (yeah not difficult I know!) because the things on it...like photos on your wall etc keep moving from left to right.

Also, all your past statuses fucking reappear from past years.

I genuinely don't wan't to be reminded of what I posted on a drunken Saturday night back in 2009 Blush
