    Anyone know how to change a facebook profile back to normal from the new timeline?

    I fucking hate it and I'm trying to find a way to get it back. The only thing I saw so far is if you marked yourself as a developer and added it while it was pre-beta late last year.

    Can anyone help with this?

    You can go to settings and change the languages to UK then you should get the old look back

    If that doesn't work some people have deactivated their account (not deleted) for 10 min and they have got the old look back, but it's hit and miss.

    Good Luck

      FB says you can't go back. You can delete your profile and start over, but isn't timeline mandatory now?

          crazy, if anything they should be simplifying, not complicating, they will turn it from a site that many people go to many times a day, to a site that many will hardly bother to check once a week

                  hold on a sec, there are wars in the world, people are dying, kids are starving, and the facebook timeline is worthy of being "on the news"

                      The only thing I don't like about it is I'm still not used to most recent update on left, second right. I want to read up and down in a straight line.

                      otherwise, I was an early developer adopter and prefer it.

                        The news is a for profit venture that delivers what people want. Sad, but true.

                            "so get used to it"... or use it less, and go somewhere else

                            this is the likely result, a painful interface will mean less time spent on the site, similar to what happened to myspace, it got too annoying for people to use so they just went there less and less and it fizzled out

                                            Totally agree here. I switched over to it by mistake, just thinking I was messing around with it, and i could switch it back. I have noticed in myself that I went from checking it every day to every couple of days, and I feel like my usage is going to gradually die away to nothing.

                                                This, or somewhere else. That's the result of changing something that works well as it is. I think every company needs to grow and add features, but they shouldn't appear complicated, done without some subtlety, and completely change the model that made your company what it is.

                                                  From what I understand, soon it won't be option but required for everyone.

                                                              I think this will be the result more and more, I see many people losing interest in it, they are missing the fact that it was linear and simple is what drew people back minute by minute as the day went on, now it it painful to look at and I can see many people not bothering much anymore
