I could be wrong, but... Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 23/09/2011 05:18:18 PM
I'm one who never had a problem clicking on "recent news" to get things in the order I prefer when it came up as top news instead. Now I have to either scroll or click multiple times to get what I already had before.


No, you still only have to click once. When you have top news as well as recent news to view (such as you might have after not visiting the site for a day or so) the very top link on your feed says "3 recent items" (or something along those lines). Clicking that link scrolls your feed down to the beginning of the recent items. I'd post a screenshot, but I've visited FB recently so I don't have the link at the moment.

But yeah, should just be one click.


...I've only seen that come up when I'm already on fbook and then it "collects" new posts instead of shifting the feed and I have to click to see them. I've never seen that upon first logging in, just the top stories at the top which I have to either scroll past or click each to un-check them as top stories.

You'd probably know that if you had read their explanation :P (Kidding).

And they really need to stop using "e-mail me all of this! I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH MEANINGLESS AND REDUNDANT E-MAILS!!!!" as the default setting for everything :P

I agree that it's very annoying that they seem to reset a lot of your defaults every time they change. I'm not sure there's any good justification for that. They ARE trying to improve the email overload, though. Most users should have been sent (via email, ironically :P) the following notification a couple days ago:

"We're trying out a new feature to reduce the amount of email you receive from Facebook. Starting today, we are turning off most individual email notifications and instead, we'll send you a summary only if there are popular stories you may have missed. You can turn individual emails back on and restore all your original settings at any time."


I did get that e-mail. But after that I went in and unchecked everything (again) for e-mail notification, so we'll see how long that lasts.
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

According to Jacob I'm kind of like spyware, fading away and lurking for a while Mith - 22/09/2011 05:09:22 PM 824 Views

I've read every response in this thread, and no one seems to understand how this stuff works. Aemon - 23/09/2011 03:40:56 PM 793 Views
Well then maybe there should be explanations that accompany these changes Sareitha Sedai - 23/09/2011 04:05:42 PM 814 Views
There ARE explanations. People just ignore them. Aemon - 23/09/2011 04:19:10 PM 901 Views
I could be wrong, but... Sareitha Sedai - 23/09/2011 05:18:18 PM 1012 Views
I could be wrong too; it's happened before. Pretty sure I have it right, though. Aemon - 23/09/2011 06:02:09 PM 837 Views
Aha! I think we're both right. Or both wrong Sareitha Sedai - 23/09/2011 07:16:42 PM 847 Views
That would be because it is not super clear. nossy - 23/09/2011 07:33:55 PM 758 Views
