"When I mean new paragraph I don't necessarily mean an essay type deal. I'm not sure why, probably from my history of playing MMO's or something, but I have a habit of writing a sentence or two and then making a new paragraph to keep my lines spaced/for subject change."

I know a lot of other people who do this too.

The new photo viewer is useful. lol @ the haters.

 

[Madrin]

I never complained when Facebook rolled out changes in the past, but this new commenting system, the picture viewer, and the profile page overhaul have all been pure downgrades and strike me as change just for the sake of change.

 

[ZZMitch]

I think it is a great change.

The picture viewer sucks though. I just use a google chrome extension to make it awesome!

 

[Zombie James]

 

[DR3AM]

any firefox/ie extensions to disable the new photo mode?

 

[FunkyPajamas]

What's worse, this or the new picture viewing bullshit?

The new photo viewing annoys me

that shit is so terrible

Yeah that weird picture viewing thing is nonsense.

If you middle-mouse click (wheel click or "new tab" click) on an image (before loading the new horrid viewer) you won't get it. You can then continue viewing images as before.

How could I have missed this :O. You are a scholar and a saint, sir.

 

[Cosmic Dreams]

Annoying as fuck. Agreed OP.

 

[Leunam]

Now you can pump out the stupid at an even faster rate!

glad to be of assistance.

 

[esquire]

People always complain when FB changes anything.

I never noticed it b/c 99% of my FB use is through the mobile app. I only ever check FB if I want to see who invited me an event (no idea why the mobile app doesn't tell you that, lol).

 

[BocoDragon]

And what's with the new chat system? I think not everyones moved over to it.. But they combined the real time chat and messages.

This causes weird shit to happen. Like I'll see an ex girlfriend on FB and give her a silly smiley to start a conversation.. But then it turns out she isn't actually there. Then she gets a smiley sent to her as a direct message and it's like "WTF does this cryptic thing mean??"

 

[Ryn]

I don't mind not having a submit button anymore.

But that photo viewer is a piece of shit.

Let her go man.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Picture viewing is a clusterfuck now

 

[MedHead]

Wow, I like the new photo viewer, because I don't have to reload the feed or click Back to return to the feed.

The Enter=post setting was such a subtle change that I wasn't entirely certain it wasn't always like that.

 

[Salsa]

shift+enter

Picture viewing is a clusterfuck now

press middle mouse to open in a new tab


you guys need to chill

 

[turnbuckle]

Hate the picture viewer. Commenting system is a little annoying at first but easy enough to adapt to, but that picture viewer....

 

[Madrin]

I was so happy when I discovered this last week. But knowing Facebook they'll remove this ability just to ensure maximal suckiness.

 

[Manus]

Google Circles. It's coming!

 

[Slappers Only]

I guess my low expectations prevent me from caring whenever facebook changes for better or worse.

 

[Rewrite]

I noticed this today too. It's fucking annoying, but one of my friends told me to press shift and enter so all is well now.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

You know you could always just stop replying to them. Post your comment and move on. Unless your angle is that you just find it draining to your productivity because you enjoy chatting on facebook so much. Not really a problem with facebook tho.

It's mainly with people back home in Australia. and every single comment is pretty open ended. Nothing said is more than making jokes and small talk, so it pretty much becomes a discussion.

 

[Gospel]

Well, that

I think I

is indeed annoying.

see what you did there.

 

[nib95]

It's bloody annoying. Keep posting messages instead of making spaces, didn't know how to do a space till I read this thread. Should be less infuriating now.

 

[demon]

"Anyone else annoyed by the new Facebook ___________"?


Yes.

 

[daemonic]

What's worse, this or the new picture viewing bullshit? I think we're starting to see what happens when a whole lot of high paid programmers and web designers run out of things to do.

Luckily there's a way to get around that.. just hover over the picture you want to view and choose to open the link in a new tab rather than the same window. You'll get to see all the images in the album the way it used to be.

Hahaha, was it this one? ===D

 

[BocoDragon]

Let her go man.

Not that kind of ex. She's in another country and trying to get me to come there. This is my future pussy son. Ive got to keep up a little random interaction with her for this to work out, but if I'm sending her fucking cryptic smiley messages thanks to Facebook messing up the chat system it's all gonna go down the drain!!! Fuck Facebook and fuck Mark Zuckerberg, too!

 

[Koodo]

It's facebook though. I literally believe they don't have a team of usability experts in that building.

Twitter went through a massive, massive redesign a year or so ago and was improved in every way. Whether the next facebook update will be any good or not is as likely as getting the heads side of a coin three times in a row.

 

[BocoDragon]

Bwahaha!!

People always talk about facebook being the "definitive" social networking experience and it will be around forever but its shit like this that makes me disagree with it. They are ruining a simple social network experience with dumb shit like this. It will be interesting to see what the next big thing will be after facebook runs everyone away.

 

[SciencePilot]

It is annoying because I can't organize posts so well anymore. I can't separate lines when I want to. Shame that they would remove that functionality.

I'm hoping that Facebook will have been a sort of one-time engagement that brings down with it the interest of the people I use the internet to get away from. I don't care what's going on in my aunt's life, and I don't need her piping in on what's going on in mine.

 

[Dr. Malik]

I think that awful picture viewer is gone, I'm not getting it anymore.

What's wrong with the local pussy?

Awesome.

Nope I'm still getting it.

I hate the picture viewing. -_- Just wanna creep like I did before.

 

[Dr. Malik]

False alarm, seems to be fluctuating

 

[DukeSucks]

you can also refresh the page to get rid of the picture viewer and scroll through the pictures like before

This is the most recent facebook annoyance thread... so yeah, totally dislike the enter to comment thing.

Another annoyance, did anybody else notice that Facebook chat is always on everytime you sign in? Anyway to disable it? I don't want to be on fb chat period.

 

[KingK]

Yeah, I accidentally spam peoples' status updates because of that shit all the time now. Also, the fuck is up with the new picture viewer bullshit? You can't even see the comments or anything.

Just bring up the list of online people on the bottom of the screen. At the top there's a chat "options" button. Click it, go "offline," and you're done. It should keep you offline even if you exit and get back on later.

That's the thing - it's logging me in every time... I guess it's me then? I have cookies enabled so that shouldn't be an issue... anybody else have the same issue?

 

[krypt0nian]

Change up how you post. Annoyance over.

 

[Dead Prince]

Facebook has been acting strange on my android phone for like the past month. NO photos show up at all... Works fine on my PC but strange stuff is happening in mobile land.
