    Looks way to "white"... A bit blinding... Also, getting errors all over the place, like:

    No Network
    Transport error (#1001) while retrieving data from endpoint `/ajax/poke.php': A network error occurred. Check that you are connected to the internet.

    That's right, I was poking someone and got denied by (new.)Facebook :)

    The link takes me to an old style facebook. Prolly because am already logged in...cant find strikingly noticeable changes... :(
  • Snaz · 1 year ago
    Those of you having issues are likely using Internet Explorer 6; IE7 and Firefox users should not run into any difficulty
  • jon · 1 year ago
    I don't think this has been rolled out to everyone. I'm still seeing the old version of the site. (UK)
  • Andy · 1 year ago
    I still can't log in to the new facebook site design, it just takes me to the current design. Like Mani Karthik suggested, I logged out and tried again, but still can't get into it. Anyone else having luck?
  • cewood · 1 year ago
    I am still seeing the old site in Australia, even after repeatedly logging in and out.
  • Michael · 1 year ago
    Yup, same in Canada - just redirected to Facebook 'classic.'
  • Adam Ostrow · 1 year ago
    hmm, perhaps it's US-only right now ... investigating
  • Patty · 1 year ago
    still seeing the old site from that link in California too.
  • Chris Goetz · 1 year ago
    I also still see the old site. Perhaps they were having problems?
  • Chris Goetz · 1 year ago
    forgot to mention I'm in Michigan (US)
  • Jacob Burke · 1 year ago
    I am still seeing the old site with the new address. Currently in NY.
  • Luis Galarza · 1 year ago
    I hope the German's don't try to copycat this one... Facebook wasted a lot of money in re-design and tunning the site for better conversions, or at least that's the idea, for others to launch a similar site with different colors... Come on!

    Brainstorming 101 is needed in German.
  • LeonWestbrook · 1 year ago
    Its not working for me. I'm on the east coast and in the US FYI.

    Nothing here either... : (
  • anthony · 1 year ago
    works from malaysia. looks to be better at giving a historical view of friends and profile feeds but I dislike the lack of thumbnails. sticking with the old view for now.
  • Lore · 1 year ago
    I like it really a lot. It is faster and cleaner.

    But there isn't "Add video" function anymore! :( Why?!
  • curtis · 1 year ago
    awesome. this redesign has been a long time coming. this new design does feel a bit "airy". not sure if that's good or bad. probably neither. i like how the profile applications are handled now. it's a lot more scalable.
  • Victor · 1 year ago
    Works for me (Sweden). The jury's still out on the redesign, though.
  • Kevin · 1 year ago
    Same old site for me in Minneapolis.
  • sher · 1 year ago
    Like the changes, though nothing on the top blue menu bar is working...can't access my inbox, friends, or my own profile. Hope they get all the kinks worked out soon.
  • azlo · 1 year ago
    new version looks like shit..

    the old version was shit aswel.

    what a useless site
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    If you were logged into the new site (new.facebook.com) when they did the switch tonight you get stuck inan redirect loop and can't access the site at all.

    Clearing cookies, turning off cookies... nothing works. Basically the site may as well be down for me permanently.

    Nice going Facebook tech-heads!
  • Lisa · 1 year ago
    Same old site for me in DFW, Texas.
  • karli · 1 year ago
    it works for me and i'm in ct.
  • Jonathan · 1 year ago
    I looked at the new facebook. It says I am using an old internet explorer. I have been using IE7 for ages(new version) I now cant go back to the old facebook. I get an error. Can anyone help
  • Emily Williams · 1 year ago
    Seems weird to me that they would make the new version less customizable - I can't move profile boxes around. Fine by me, I'm sick of scrolling through millions of apps to get to someone's wall, but hey, it's your profile, not mine. Also think it's interesting how stats updates (in "Friends") and the new wall/mini-feed (in an individual profile) have taken precedence even more than before over profiles and profile updates. More Twitter/FriendFeed answering the question of what you're updating and less true Facebook with the slightly more "permanent" profile.
  • RI · 1 year ago
    At first it was a little bit weird but the more I use it, the MORE I LIKE IT!!!!
  • df · 1 year ago
    facebook creeps me out, even more so now.
  • modemlooper · 1 year ago
    Crap! What the hell? why would they make it so generic? If they are wanting more interaction then why take away any customization? They should let you add one app and choose different color schemes. The profiles are blending into nothing.
  • rach · 1 year ago
    anyone know of any good ways to get on facebook when it has been blocked by a network provider?
  • tarn · 1 year ago
    I updated - but after logging out I can not log back in......
    AARRGGGGGHHHHHH.. very annoying
  • Jay F. · 1 year ago
    Having the same issue as you, Tarn.
  • PrincesitaTica · 1 year ago
    I can't log in period! Ever since I tried the new Facebook now I can't log in at all. The address url changes from facebook.com to new.facebook.com back and forth and at the end it says "page cannot be found!" what do I do?!
  • Eleazar · 1 year ago
    @PrincesitaTica: Glad to now that I'm not alone... Why? why did I have to try that stupid new design :'(, there's an IRC channel in freenode, but no one answers
  • whirligirl · 1 year ago
    I switched to the new facebook and now can't log in to facebook at all - I get a page load error on firefox telling me :

    Redirect Loop
    Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

    The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

    * NOTE: If accepting the site's cookies does not resolve the problem, it is likely a server configuration issue and not your computer.
  • PrincesitaTica · 1 year ago
    What the hell do we do now?! I can't even log in to send the developers a message. Ugh! Why did I have to try it?! This sucks seriously. Guys we need to come up with something. I need my Facebook. :(
  • modemlooper · 1 year ago
    empty your cache and cookies
  • PrincesitaTica · 1 year ago
    I already cleared everything modemlooper and nothing works. Any other ideas?
  • PrincesitaTica · 1 year ago
    GUYS GO GO GO GO GO GO LOGIN TO FACEBOOK RIGHT NOW & CHANGE THE OPTION BACK TO THE OLD LAYOUT! I JUST LOGGED IN AND IT WORK BUT BECAUSE OF ALL THESE ISSUES I DON'T THINK IT'LL BE FOR LONG. SO GO LOG IN AND GO BACK TO THE OLD STYLE! HURRY! MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN EVERYTHING YOUR COOKIES AND ALL LIKE 50 TIMES LOL.
  • modemlooper · 1 year ago
    try logging out first then deleting caches. Facebook keeps you logged in. Also use another browser to chech if you can get in.
  • adam abdallah · 1 year ago

  • kubs · 1 year ago
    works for my husband, doesnt work for me?!!! tried countless times, logging off and logging back on, no luck..
  • glenn · 1 year ago
    i've got the new version and i don't really like it, i much preferred having everything on the one page, and the photos tab sucks, instead of getting al of your friends albums or recently tagged friends or even comments about your photos you get photos of you, no links to your friends albums... very disappointed...
  • Emajmom · 1 year ago
    Hey, I punch in the new site and it asks for a log in but once I hit enter it takes me to the old site.

    Friends of mine are getting the new site though????


    "In Canada"

    Transport error (#1001) while retrieving data from endpoint `/ajax/typeahead_friends.php?524109021-1218521173-1=&u=524109021&lists=1': A network error occurred. Check that you are connected to the internet

    Argh this is driving me mad... located in Ireland. Cannot open the Boxes tab or anything else for that matter. Everything else on Mozilla/internet is working fine so it's not my connection but gotta be Facebook... the new roll out should be rolled back so as far as I am concerned
  • Cynthia · 1 year ago
    I can never log in...and I am not that impressed with the new concept... it was better before
  • Rold · 8 months ago
    I am having trouble logging into Facebook. It won't open. I can only open my account in the HTML. Why is it like that? It started when the new Facebook was launched in Manila. I updated - but after logging out I can not log back in the full site. Can anyone help?
  • Rold · 8 months ago
    Tried everything but still i can't log in to the full site only the HTML! From Manila.
