I suggest you try and get used to it. Facebook is only going to evolve further as time goes on so try and evolve with them. – http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/why-facebook-is-right-to-force-timeline-on-everybody-opinion/

Dave, I’m sorry to burst your bubble. But Nobody has the right to enfringe upon your rights. Under the Internet Law. From the part from what I read.

It says: That what the person(s) says will comeback and bite them in the butt. That was one sentence. You should read the internet law. Just go down to your local county courthouse. Ask for the law library. Then ask for the Internet Law.
That will help you out.
Mark Zurkerberg is just violating it again and again.

I think it’s once-for-lifetime option. You can’t get it back.

This is a very common question. While you can use some 3rd party scripts such as Timeline Remove to visually revert back to your old Facebook profile view, this will not make your FB Timeline disappear from your profile.

It is only you who will see the old version, while your friends will continue to see your profile via Timeline.

There is absolutely no way to return to the old Facebook profile display as there was no way to return to previous ones in the past.

Use a Google Chrome tool called Timeline Remove, at http://www.timelineremover.com

Alternatively, you could make the interface simpler at

Aren’t there a LOT of people who don’t like the new Facebook Timeline.
Maybe FB is trying “negative advertising”…..well, they have certainly succeeded!!!

Facebook already set a deadline so sooner or later you will get Timeline even though I hate it so much but not as much as I hate Metro

That’s the link to the Face Book feedback page. Let them know how you feel about TimeLine

I would like to know how can I change my cover photo to a rotating friends/member profile photos instead? I’ve seen it done on a couple of walls but can’t find a how to link and those that try to explain have old settings (don’t match the options available today). I asked a few people how it was done but no help there either. Can anyone help? Thanks

How can I go bac to the old facebook

susendeep dutta

Timeline is now default and you cannot go back.So,if you use Internet explorer 6 or 7 or any other unsupported browsers,you might be able to get the old look.

Guyz em in trouble, plz help me out from dis timeline, I hate it I want to go back in old view.

susendeep dutta

The simple way to switch back to old look is to use unsupported browsers like Internet explorer 6 or 7,Mozilla 3.

Note :- Using old browser opens door for possible security vulnerabilities.

Use an older browser that doesn’t support TimeLine or use Time Remove Extension, it really works.

Try to clear your browser’s cache,cookies and history to see any improvements.Moreover,the image you choose must be of appropriate size.You can perform Google search with queries like best Facebook cover photos so as to ease your search.
