New Facebook layout - your thoughts

Yep, they must have been bored again at Facebook as they have changed the layout AGAIN!

Interestingly the sticky footer which has ben copied so many times has gone in favour of a more conventional navigation type idea.

What are your thoughts and opionions - personally, I quite like it :smiley:

Itā€™s solid, except for the font size. Itā€™s not comfortable to read, especially when thereā€™s quite a lot of text.

Still looks the same to me, sticky footer deal an all. :frowning:

[FONT=ā€œGeorgiaā€]I like it.

I just need to remember to look on the right side for links instead of the left, but Iā€™ll get used to it.

I always like seeing what Facebook come up with next; I like their use of AJAX.

Still cant get into facebook, layout is too confusing compared to myspace and bebo.

but for the good of my new business i guess ill have too:D

DEath to Sticky footers everywhere!

So they finally figured out they had duplication of links in the navigation eh? Not bad for 2 years work! :wink:

I hate the new layout :frowning:
I havenā€™t liked it since like 2 or 3 changes ago :frowning:

nothings new for meā€¦ those are just minor changes and ill be used into it.
im a facebook fun so. :slight_smile:

Itā€™s a fixed footer not a sticky footer :lol:

I like it! A bit confusing at first because of where everything is but it will grow on me :slight_smile:

Finally Iā€™ve seen the new designā€¦ I still need to get used to it but it does look cleanerā€¦ I am uncertain about usability but I do like the look :smiley:

When you started this thread I checked. But saw no changes. Then just now, yes indeed. I donā€™t really like it much but I may get used to it. One thing Iā€™m a bit surprised about is the logout link being hidden under the Account tab. Seems it should be openly visible.

i wish they would fix the stupid confusion between news feed and live feed

i see they are now no longer calling it ā€œlive feedā€ but the confusion is still there

I wish they would stop calling my browser a mobile phone and shunting me to some wap page.

Iā€™ll have to see if the new redesign means I can use it without js on. I doubt it though.

I donā€™t like it that much but it will grow on me as I get used to where things are.

Iā€™ll just quote what I had on my comment status at the time my layout updated for me:

Andrew Cooper is loving the simplicity and grouping of elements in the new Facebook layout :slight_smile: To everyone who has made a negative comment about it - Firstly the people who work on Facebook design / functionality are professionals and know what theyā€™re doing. Secondly you didnā€™t like the old-new-layout but got used to it. Get used to this one. Things change.

The ranty part of it was to all the friends on my Facebook that go ā€œZOMFG FACEBOOK IS S**T KEEPS CHANGIN MAN OMG YH SICK OV ITā€ I should get rid of them people but hey, I donā€™t like being mean! xD

I really like the new Facebook layout. Really nice. Very usable and functional. Although on the topic of Facebook, I keep getting ā€œ#!ā€ in the URL bar sometimes and will have to delete it from the address for things to function correctly again.

Anyone else having that problem?

Andrew Cooper

I have that problem too, also it will keep adding onto the URL with PHP delimiters and I eventually have to reset it :slight_smile:

I think its nice but I wished they have announced that they were changing the layout. Itā€™s confusing at first.

I get used to it now. If theyā€™re changing anything that means thereā€™s something better that they want us to enjoy, so itā€™s good.
