Carolyn: Thanks for the warnig! I am concentrating on my Fan Page anyway! Do you have a Business Fan Page?

If you need help with this stuff, I highly recommend hiring Mike Mueller to help you out!  He can fix up the pages in a jiffy!

hmmmm soo all of the boxes will be gone? I kept seeing the warnings, but wasn't sure what boxes they were discussing. Thank you for the heads up and explanation.

Thanks Carolyn for the heads up on FB.

C...

Ugh....I like things the way they are. But I guess with all of the users they have to cut back on server demand somehow!

OUCH! I knew the size of some stuff was getting more narrow - but didn't think about those NOTES!  Headed over to see what I'm losing!

Thanks C for the update on all the facebook changes..... We need to get the word out.

Thanks so much for the warning!   Need to go take a look!

OMG, just as I was trying to get caught up on some other things.

C - Thank you for the warning and I will be checking to see what there is to be done before the changes are made.

My Facebook business fan pages are:

Life With Wee People

CyberMinions.net

Ambassadors of Chaos

Wordy C

UberMental.com

Feel free to post the links to your Facebook business pages here so I can check them out. :-)

Oh boy - I figured it wouldnt be long before FB started making 'improvements' !

CTann - yeah I heard about this from Mike M as well late last night.. He is the go to guy for a quick fix for this

Carolyn, this is definitely worthy of a Feature to get the word out to all AR folks. I'm going to be copying and pasting all the info in those boxes :)

I am definitely going to have to go lurk on Mike M's posts regarding this. Most people who visit with me in Facebook never/hardly ever click on my tabs. They just hit the profile landing page to see what I've been up to or go straight to the business fan page.

Marti, thank you for the feature in your group. :-)

I've been wondering what the new page would look like......guess it won't be long before we find out!

Ugh...are you saying the pages we favorite are going to be gone. And under our names I have all my lists, if they left, not sure I would be on Facebook much as that has kept me sane.

Ann, I am wondering too...

Missy, I have no idea what our next set of instructions will be regarding how to migrate the information... I do have a "boxes" tab full of boxes with more info (networked blogs, etc) but if they are going to be removed from my landing page I have no idea how it will affect that tab.

Now they want to jump into the real estate market and start charging us for the upgrades... Can you spell Trulia?

I wonder what is next. It would seem they would need all that stuff to be able to help categorize people if Google even begins to rank people and businesses from here. It would seem that the business pages would receive more emphasis. Maybe they need to take away from the personal because they want to start catalogueing and ranking business pages better. I'm just thinking outloud, nobody hold my feet to the fire, I just had to say something.

I guess my lack of dependency on mass media has finally paid dividends, lol. Every single REO membership platform is "upgrading" as well, to different pay grades for users. I've found not too much to brag about from those upgrades; I suspect similar bland responses from facebook users. It seems like execucrats read from the antonym book; hence, "upgrades" to them, means "nuisances" to the users.

I noticed that little warning this morning too.  Now to go figure out how it will impact me and make the necessary changes.  I believe it will impact fan pages too.

Ugh, where is all of that information supposed to go? ACK! I knew it was getting narrower, but really didn't realize the significance. Lovely.

thanks for the heads up c - all that work! next......

I think I'll have another beer and curl up with the book "Future Shock."

J Phillip, I am in the fetal position reading like a crazy woman (LOL).

To think I thought I was gonna have a lazy vacation... Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaa :-D

OK looks like we all have some homework to do now.  Thanks for the heads up.  I will have to take a look at the link.  Change hardly ever is pain free!

Thanks for the heads up on this....

C Tann, I got a note to see what the new "preview" page will look like when the changes go in to effect...not sure it will make a big difference for most peoples primary use of facebook.

Oh ugh!  Thanks for the painful update hot stuff...off to read all about it.  Dang....just when I get the new FB figured out they change it on us again, lol.

It seems like this is a never ending job.

C- Thanks for this info, I sure need to spend more time on Facebook. I need some extra hours, I just don't seem to have your energy level, what's the secret?

I'll echo Mike in Jeremy's comment #2.  Mike Mueller ROCKS.  Changes are ok... we just have to adjust.  It'll be alright.

C- Thanks for the heads up.  Seems like all the "improvements" on all these social networking sites, translate into more work and reorginazation for all the rest of us.

Jennifer, I work in 20 minute intervals. My kids are a wee bit crazy so I have to do small tasks in a very efficient manner. It also helps when all my social media tabs are open at the same time (LOL). I click on the ones that flash new info in the toolbar widgets, popping back and forth between accounts. :-)

Lora, very true. My social media websites have been putting me through my paces (LOL).

I took a look at my custom pages in the new format, and I think they're okay.  Got my fingers crossed.

I'm checking out Mike Mueller. He is the go to guy. He'll know a workaround or fix me up. Thanks, C!!!!

I'm curious how the new format will affect how we use Facebook... which reminds me... I need to step up my Facebook activity!

Thanks for the link, C. I don't think we'll necessarily lose any info, it's just going to be relocated.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...

I was almost ready to jump in, updating my pages. Glad I waited... now I too wait for the next set of instructions! :)

Ok, since I don't use facebook much, maybe I need to go back and see what's going on.

Hi C. I noticed the notification earlier and am not very pleased with this "change."

C-1-how in the world do you do all that you do????

   2. -thank you for this information.  Just when I think I have a handle on Facebook and who can see what and what to put where, they go and want to make changes.

Having only recently been dragged kicking and screaming onto Facebook, I have to say that the more I learn about it the less I like it. It's clunky, it reminds me of AOL (trying desperately to keep you within its clutches), the search is totally pathetic, and like Google it is more and more weighted towards big business. Liz

Jeezz - I don't even have the AR community sponsorship pages figured out (hint for someone to call me) and now this!

Thanks for heads up. Mike M's phone is going to be ringing off the wall!

Another thing you'll have to do is, if you're using a custom avatar that is the current maximum size allowed by Facebook (200x600 pixels), you'll have to resize it to 180x540 pixels for it to display properly.

I had heard about this a while ago. I had forgotten about it though. Links are very very important.

Hey C-Tann, congrats on your feature, but aw man for the news. :/ Growing pains are right, always have to learn something new to be on the top of your game for the Internet world. Thanks for the heads up

C-Tann,

This certainly will cause lots of us problems.  Would you post to facebook fanatics?  I would love to feature it there as well...

I need to take a look at my FB profile and see what problems I may be seeing.

Time to adapt. Good info.

I'm going to have to go and try to figure out what you are talking about. I'm not the world's gift to Faceboo... :-) i probably don't even have anything in those boxes.

I absolutely do not understand why Facebook adds things and then takes them away.  The site is in such constant flux I think that the changes will be the sites achilles heel.  Too tired tonight, need to go figure it out tomorrow.

What's interesting is that fact that I did not set up the boxes, they were just there.  Most of them happened without my help.  I wonder if those will transfer to tabs?

Doreen, I have been reading their blog for hours trying to figure out what we are supposed to use as html boxes once they take "the boxes" away. I like discovering people's links and widgets on their profile landing pages. I am still trying to wrap my head aroud their digital roadmap...

Kate, my eyes are crossing trying to figure this out. I know I have to do something with my static info, I am just not sure what would be best.

LOL@ Nathan :-)

I'm not usually too afraid of change, but facebook likes to keep us on our toes and I hate their "improvements"! I try to pretend it doesn't bother me and I won't complain about it on fb, but all my friends will. They'll be joining groups, saying "put it back the way it was".

Uh oh. This will take some time to mop up the mess afterwards.

CTann - Once again thanks for the heads up on this... I guess fb has to keep up with the changes as well...

CTann - Once again thanks for the heads up on this... I guess fb has to keep up with the changes as well...

If all the information is relocated somewhere and not just lost completely! Of courese we should figure out where to locate them prior to FB getting rid of all of it! Thanks for the heads up! Off to visit your pages! Have a great day and weekend.

Carolyn - Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea. I guess I need to research how this will impact me...

Wow! Thanks for the heads-up, Carolyn! Great post and some great, informative comments, too.

ugh Carloyn - i noticed this warninng yesterday on fb - seems like the only thing constant is change :) thanks for posting - now to figure out where to move that info? sincerely,, grace

You guys are all very welcome and thank you for the kind comments. :-)

Thank you for the notice.

Thanks for the warning and explantion...just when you think you've got things figured out!

CRAP! I thought they already did this. The page size has been moving around every week. This sucks!

Hi Carolyn, thanks for the heads up! You are so awesome for doing this!

Thank you C-Tan, I must admit, that I do not know the real significance of those changes, I do not like the removal of the links under my name, that is where most of my advertising is... the free one of course, thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out.

Antonio

C-Tan, Thanks. I am a novice on Facebook, so this is important for me to know. Overwelmed even without the changes

Thanks for the update/warning!

I am over in Facebook now messing around with tabs. I am building a music and a merch store tab. Wish me luck. I am sooooooooo clueless on how to move this stuff around. Working on my learning curve while stretched out on the living room floor with the shorties driving hot wheel cars. :-)

It's so nice to get the notices ahead of time and not be blindsided. 

Tracy, it is indeed. I just added "My Band" tabs to four of my Facebook pages. I have to learn how to customise them more. Doing more experiments... :-)

Growing pains, for sure! The older I get, the less I like change...

Don, I kinda know what you mean. :-)
