Can anyone help-Facebook Prob

Post by Lincoln »

Hello folk, I opened up my Facebook this morning and it switched to the NEW system. I really do hate this new system I cannot get on with it. I have been trying for ages to try to get the old CLASSIC Facebook back. No way I can do it. Is there a secret method? Does anyone know how I can get back to CLASSIC Facebook?I did not do anything it just opened up to the new system.

In the bar at the top of your FB page where it says search etc go to the very end & click on the black downward arrow. The option to switch back to classic is just above the log out option.
Hope this works for you.

Thank you. However, that option to switch back does not present itself. I have been trying all kinds of things. All to no avail.

Anyone else got any ideas please. I have sent various messages to Facebook, no reply from them as yet.

Sadly, yet another ain't broke so we'll keep fixing it till it is broken.

The word upgrade used to mean 'making something better', more often nowadays it's just computer geeks thinking they know better.

Bag of s h y t e in my opinion, but what can we do ........... :evil: :evil: :evil:

I use Windows 10 and either Chrome or Firefox depending on which browser I am using at the time - both still on the Classic setting.

There's a video here but I found it a bit annoying. However if you read the information by opening the full comments, it tells you to use the option to Report a Problem to Facebook, which apparently will be resolved by them over a couple of days:

You have to get past the bit about the drop-down menu if you watch the video! 😉
