Facebook's New Profile Page -- How to ' not accept ' ?

15 years ago

What does one do if one does not want the new Facebook profile?

I understood that Facebook users would have a choice.

Now I have a message that says Profile page be automatically changed in a few days. Can't figure out how to "not accept" ....

For the month of December, Facebook gave people the option to upgrade to the new profile early.

The new look is now being rolled out to all users (450 million). It's not a VOLUNTARY choice. What's good for facebook is good for you I guess.

Lots of complaints as there always is with any change.

I just recently read an article on that and how it was set default to share which is just ridiculous.

I highly recommend this site for anyone using facebook

I copied this info from one of the other forums I am on

"NEW PRIVACY setting called "Instant Personalization" that shares data with non-Facebook websites and it is automatically set to "Enable." Go to Account >Privacy Settings > Applications and Websites >Instant Personalization > Edit Settings, and un-check "Enable". BTW if your friends don't do this, they will be sharing information about you."

according to some of the latest articles today was the date that it was to be changed on all facebook pages.

I personally stay away from all things facebook

Camps, if you sat and looked at my fb page, you would see posts from relatives, school friends, dog forum friends, photographer friends and then the "info and ads" I follow a lot of garden companies, writes and botanical gardens. I enjoy admiring what they are doing even if it is something I can't grow or read. Plus the local and travel updates are interesting. There are a lot of companies that advertise, but I choose to either look or skip. I tend to post only generic or less personal things. I skip the political/religious stuff-kind of hard since I went to church school...lol I enjoy connecting with my friends and seeing what they are up too. No drunken party photos on my pages, cause if that is how that person lives, we have different lifestyles and that is not what I want to see. I also "hid" several people that are in to personal dramas-I deal with way too much of that at work so not about to add that in for fun. Like I said, you can use it as a tool and decide how you want to work with it

Ken: Lily was my aunt. She was so sociable, she had a whole Society named for her (and I really did have an aunt named Lily...at is more, she was an avid gardener). I'm fine: busy sending out art fair applications. Bellarosa: Welcome back! Woody is still president. Maybe because no one else has stepped forward! :) I will be posting future events on the FB page, including the bulb sale. This year there will be some satellite bulb sale locations, which is really exciting.

Facebook Help- New Timeline

The cover picture is automatically set as public. From the Help section again. Note the "you may not have the option to choose certain photos" part. "Since your cover goes across the entire width of your timeline, the image you select for your cover has to be at least 720 pixels wide. This means "you may not have the option to choose certain photos as your cover image," or you may get an error if you try uploading a photo that isnÃ¢ÂÂt big enough. If the photo you want to use is too small, try uploading the photo in high resolution, or choosing a different photo."

It's not that I ever say/write something on GW I regret sharing here...it's that I have a relative out there somewhere that I don't want to EVER contact me again. Some of you understand why. I know they participate on Facebook & I stay away from Facebook to avoid any potential contact. I consider them dangerous to my safety & they have physically harmed me in the past. Now sure, I could hide from the Internet entirely. But, I don't figure they would ever have an interest that would draw them to GW. I don't know how Facebook works since I don't participate. I don't want to go to bed every night worrying that tomorrow might bring that person back into my life. It's the not knowing part I don't think I can live with & still feel safe. /tricia

I got that message today. So I went ahead and switched over
to the new layout. Was no big deal. I don't think it
changed any of my privacy settings. Other than my profile
page everything else looks the same to me.

Pooh, you are right, no big changes, but the checkmark that RC was refering to is there and as long as you leave it, you info will be shared...

It bears repeating:
NEW PRIVACY setting called "Instant Personalization" that shares data with non-Facebook websites and it is automatically set to "Enable." Go to Account >Privacy Settings > Applications and Websites >Instant Personalization > Edit Settings, and un-check "Enable". BTW if your friends don't do this, they will be sharing information about you."

Oops! Thanks to RC who posted directions in prior post. Just saw genes post when thanking. So thanks to RC for posting those directions.

I would like to add for anyone who joins and invites friends and family to meet them there, please ask your friends by email, don't let Facebook do it. My stepdaughter allowed Facebook to do it and now they have my family and friends email address. I got all kinds of emails from them until I bounced them back.

I knew about the Instant Personalization setting.
I have it unchecked. Been that way for a LONG time.

I went back and checked my privacy settings.
None of them had been changed.
Even the Instant Personalization setting was the same.

Facebook got my master account address that my step daughter has been using for years because she is "family".

Do they automatically get all the addresses in her address book or does she have to give them to Facebook?
