Although I too have upgraded my profile page on Facebook, I am not really comfortable with it.I find it confusing to navigate , unlike before when everything was right in front of you.How about you all friends? what are your views regarding this ? Please share your views here...

Hi Kiran! I too don't liKe the new page much because I find it difficult.I do not peep in there too often as such. How are you and are you in Mangalore? I am contemplating a trip to Mangalore next month to attend a wedding.I have not made up my mind as yet. My cousin's son is getting married to one girl from another community[sirname is Bhat ] and we were invited. Actually, I was mentioning to my husband that I would go the previous day and spend the evening with you and go to the wedding hall the next day[ of course if you were all alone at home and if you were there] It is such short notice that I am not sure of tickets though.Tell me if you would be there.

Hi ASUDEEP, thanks a lot for your response ,I changed into the new profile for the same reason, because most of my friends have done so.I have not heard anyone complain though....However, I will wait for a couple of weeks and see how it goes and then change back to the old profile - all the best

Hello Kiran, glade to see your topic after long interval. Profile have information which we like to share with others. So if we have any fresh information to share than we must be update our profile.

Hello kiran8, In Facebook it is really very confusing to see updated version of profile page.Though some may find it useful and handy but all your activities are displayed here in the form of timeline, which is sometimes embarrassing too.

Hi samu,I agree, that;s what I don't like.It should be us members making that decision right? as to what we want to put out for display and what not.. I want to wait and see , since I have hardly had a chance to actually go through the settings ...

No I am not happy with the new Facebook timeline profile theme. I think it is good from those people having speedy internet connection but not for me using 2G connection. Unlike it looks good, in the new timeline everything is sorted according to time from the date you have joined. I don't know more than this, because I am still using the old style.

Hi kajal,I agree that the old look was much better and much easier to use.I guess this is to do with revenue for timeline and also the new Facebook IPO...I am now thinking of reverting back to my old profile page - hope it is possible to do that

i hate the new fb profile page. u can forget it. it's like myspace. i know some people who actually cancelled their fb accounts because of it. what i hate even more is that they didn't give us a choice. that's what i really don't like, and i think ppl hate that even more, too.

Hi kiran, I too feel confusion when I upgrade my profile page on facebook. It appears to me I left some facts about me. But at the same time it is true that I don't want to reveal everything of mine in public. So confusion remains.

Yes bhanu, the same thing I too feel.In fact, if it is possible I would really like to go back to my old page which I was very comfortable with.I could so easily find things there, now it is as if everything has been misplaced and I am spending most of my time looking for things LOL - thanks a lot for your response and have a nice evening

Me too. I get confused with a new look of facebook profile. Or probably we don't know the exact details yet.

It could well be that - most of us prefer the time tested ways and something that we are used to for a long time, the same with facebook , I guess - thanks a lot for your response and all the best

Nope, I don't like it at all! I haven't updated to Timeline - I'm holding off until Facebook makes me do it! Your eyes go all over the place . . . and I say that as someone who tries to look at other people's Timelines. I'd hate to be searching like that in my own Timeline profile! I think it's a complete design flaw on Facebook's part - but eh, I know when they make me switch, I'm still going to go to Facebook anyway.

Hi much2say, thanks a lot for sharing your views,I think you have done a wise thing by not updating to the new Timeline profile.I have still not got used to it and keep putting off things ...One of the members here has explained how you could revert back to your old profile, I think I am going to give it a try - all the best and I am sorry to have delayed my response

Hi chymez, thanks a lot for sharing your views I have heard many people say that. If you look up the page ( response 2 ) Kajal has given the details as to how you could revert back to your old page, you might find it useful - all the best and enjoy your day

I upgraded my page when the timeline was first released, and while I am still a little upset by the layout and the more public/live feed information posted than I want, I do like the cover page idea and the layout is a little more clean. I didn't like how when I changed over, the timeline changed my privacy settings, so I had to set all of the private information by hand instead of the general privacy controls.

Hi chodges, I have just changed my profile so will have to look into my privacy settings, good that you mentioned about it, otherwise I would have thought that it remained as before - all the best and happy mylotting
