Kelly -

You’ll be happy to learn then that FB is testing a new News Feed that shows everything

I HATE this change – the process before worked great. I never know what i am missing – if they want to have this – make it an option rather than deciding for us. I have to log on to my kids FB (they aren’t ‘updated’ yet) to make sure i am not missing something my friends have posted.

I have 300 friends also. This new format is HORRIBLE and if I do not get “most recent” back, I will stop using FB.

Yes, change it back! This is very strange. How can they change a product without asking the users, or even telling them? You just wake up one day and discover the system doesn’t work like it used to, which means showing posts in a logical, chronological way. The way tt works now is so less useful, not to mention comprehensible. Who knows? Maybe FB thinks it’s too big to fail. But beware, the next new thing is already being used by kids somewhere, and this big bloated arrogant program will wind up with MySpace on the trash heap of social networks.

I have 300 friends, that is too few? This change is absurd and not sure who thought it was a good one. I want to be able to see my posts in chronological order. The arrogance of FB continues. Arrogance is always the downfall. Change this back and stop using us as guinea pigs to test your ideas. People are telling you they hate it, listen to them.

I have over 360 friends, and, as of today, I can’t sort by recent news, only having a “more stories” option which appear in a nonsensical order. There is absolutely no point to Facebook, if I can’t view chronologically.

I have been a strong supporter of FB, I use it for both personal and professional purposes, I administer a number of business pages and many groups. I have done paid advertising with FB as well. I am so angry that my blood pressure is shooting through the roof. This is a completely asinine change and makes me want to cancel my account.

This test format to get me to discover interesting content and create an instantly valuable experience has got to be the biggest bunch of malarkey I’ve ever seen. The three large pictures remain unchanged for days on end (usually 3 to 5 days) and most often are of absolutely no interest to me. The so called news feed is anywhere from 10 hours ago to 21 days ago and I’m never up to date with my friends. My desktop computer where I have more “friends” is still using the normal format and stays up to date with all my friends. The test format is quickly driving me to search for another social networking service. I joined Facebook because it gave me good control over the content I view. With no option to opt-out of the test format, I am no longer in control of anything I view on Facebook except my profile picture. Change it back or lose me!!!!!

Bring back the “Most Recent”. I hate what Facebook have done to my home page. I have 41 friends. How many friends is too few???

I need to be able to see whats going on at any one time in chronological order, so I know I haven’t missed anything. Since when was showing a post that happened a week ago and I have had to read 8 times already more important than anything else?

Change it back Facebook, or at least give us the option to show things “Most Recent” if we want too, and allow us to choose which view we want as the default.

Vent finished.
