HUGE thumbs down....BUT I did learn that you can minimize that stupid ticker down to ONE box by simply hovering your mouse on the box below it, drag that bottom line UP and the ticker will shrink!
wish it would all go away though...so annoying!

not as much as QB! :lol:
but for those of us with spread out families FB is the BEST!
I just don't do games, or anything else on there, I don't have the time!

So changes do not bother me.

When enough people get fed up and drop their accounts...which has already started to happen, and the advertiser stop putting ads up....maybe good old Mark will get the idea.

I personally think he is a nasty little control freak who is out of control. I have stopped playing any of the games, am spending very little time on there now. Gives me an incentive to sew more.

I hate the way they keep changing. Tried to read my comments and a banner telling me how great it was kept covering the comments. I'm with you....If it ain't broke, DON"T fix it!!!!

Here's a picture that sums up my thoughts....

lol love that sign

sarahrachel 09-23-2011 10:07 AM

if it makes any of you feel better, I'm 18 and <i>I'm</i> confused!! And I can normally figure out technology if I sit down and stare at it for a while. and I agree, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!

adrianlee 09-23-2011 12:20 PM

I don't like the change. Wish FB left well enough alone.

patchitpat 09-23-2011 01:28 PM

I use FB all the time to talk to my friends and family. I didn't like the changes either but this is something that might help you out.
If you go to the top right hand corner and click on your name it will bring you to your profile.
Once there on the left hand side under news feed you will see a list - close friends acquaintenances family etc.
If you go to your friends list and catagorize them all it will be a whole lot easier.
But Beware! They're making more changes next week and they are going to start using FB as of January.
I know this is a bummer for me so my friends/family and myself are all moving into Google chat, its a whole lot user friendly than FB is.
Hope this helps to clearify it for some of you.

mountain deb 09-23-2011 03:24 PM

Never was a big fan of facebook. Only on it once every 4-6 months. lol

MsMel 09-23-2011 03:27 PM

Hate them...but I spend more of my time here anyways!!! I am afraid to turn off my cell phone for fear facebook will change there as well...lol...

I am lost again on facebook, just after I had it all together.

alapetitechaise 09-23-2011 04:22 PM

I don't like it at all; can't keep track of my friends. I miss things; I am thinking about closing my page but I have friends all over the world and family in several states.

rosiewell 09-23-2011 05:10 PM

I hate it, I don't post anything anymore, I just read posts from friends and family and my comments are email or phone

Jeanniejo 09-23-2011 05:12 PM

Not liking the new FB think I will adios.

Cheryl 09-23-2011 05:25 PM

I am so irritated with fb with their new changes. I'm really thinking about trying out the google site. I haven't checked it out yet but probably soon will. I agree with you about this site I just love it and this is where I come to first and I enjoy it a whole lot better than anyother place. This is where you find your true friends. :thumbup: :D :D

Blue's quilting mama 09-23-2011 05:33 PM

FB does get irritating with all the changes....I read somewhere that FB wants to make sure we don't develop alzheimers from not using our brains to learn something new everyday!

AnnR 09-23-2011 05:36 PM

Ditto That! :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

craftynell 09-23-2011 09:01 PM

Hate it. I think I will quit using it. I like QB better.

ConnieF 09-24-2011 12:44 AM

me toooooo it was just fine I do not like all the new stuff

Ed 09-24-2011 02:45 AM

Don't like it.

Cattyqwltr 09-24-2011 03:06 AM

But on the other hand, I am not going to stop using fb just because I don't like these changes. I have made too many contacts and do get enjoyment out of trading jokes and humor back and forth to just close my account. Life is a constant sea of changes, good, bad, indifferent. So, I'm going to try and stop instantly complaining about the changes and just deal with them.

mjsylvstr 09-24-2011 04:11 AM

give me the simple life!!!!!!!!!

That picture says me in a nutshell regarding FB.

countrycottage 09-26-2011 07:45 AM

Never was a Facebook fan anyway, but I have heard some of my friends complaining about the changes.

ging10ging 09-29-2011 06:31 PM

I never really cared for FB and like it less now. I'm happy here so many nice people and info. Sue

heljoy50 09-29-2011 07:42 PM

I don't like the new changes either. I am not spending as much time on FB, I like browsing this board much better! No hassles here like FB, as it always the same! lol!

luckylindy333 09-29-2011 07:54 PM

agree, agree, agree, I don't like it either... I get the feeling that they are not marketing FB to us!!!
