oh no, it's all custom. you have the option to choose either a photo you've already uploaded or just upload a new one.

martha · 09-27-2011, 09:17 AM

Ohhhhhh. Yay! Thanks!

bonocomet · 09-27-2011, 07:02 PM

Why don't they tell you when it's a friends birthday anymore.

I can't keep track of these things myself.

ok that annoys me almost more than the rest of the changes....I didn't realize that had been removed..

**Sicy** · 09-27-2011, 08:12 PM

Mine is still there?

arw · 09-27-2011, 08:22 PM

oh well maybe no one I know has a birthday today!

But on Sunday a friend had a birthday and the way I noticed was seeing mutual friends comment on her page. I don't think I noticed it on the side of my page.

martha · 09-27-2011, 08:37 PM

Birthdays only show up if the person has entered that info on their FB profile.

cobl04 · 09-28-2011, 06:24 AM

The most annoying thing about the ticker is that it shows EVERYTHING your friends do. So if a friend comments/likes someone's status/photo etc that I don't have as a friend, it still shows up. That's rubbish. Because now if I want to talk shit about something I have to stop and think.

ryancoke71 · 09-28-2011, 07:44 AM

....and I STILL have the old facebook.

it actually only does it when the person has their wall visible to everyone, not just friends.

I don't have the new timeline yet, but for those of you who dooooooooooo

About the birthday thing. The other day a friend had a birthday. She does have her birthday entered in her info, but I had no notification type thing on the side where it used to tell me it was someone's birthday. If I went to her actual wall or info page it said "Today is her birthday" at the top, but I don't visit every friends wall every single day. I knew it was her birthday, but if I hadn't known it already I wouldn't have known except for the mutual friends posts. (Which is also how I found out about another friends birthday the other day, or I would not have known, and he also has his birthday in his info) Also it used to say when a friend's birthday was coming up soon, that was nice, but alas is no more.
I haven't had a FB account for very long, but in that short time I know it's only got worse since I started!

martha · 09-30-2011, 09:25 AM

^That's just lame then. I don't go to everyone's page everyday either.

trojanchick99 · 09-30-2011, 02:03 PM

That's weird, because for me the birthdays appear right below the live feed box. And it's actually more convenient now because you click on the birthday feed and it allows you to post to their wall right from there. This is very helpful on days when multiple people have birthdays.

bonocomet · 09-30-2011, 02:10 PM

I have that event thing down there, and I even clicked "see all" on her birthday to be sure it wasn't hidden or something and it wasn't. Maybe something changed in my settings when the switch happened, I'll have to look around.

you have the new timeline layout right? I'm still on the old 'new' ticker layout (too lazy to fiddle

) and I have nothing even though I do have friends with birthdays today . . . all I get is an email at the beginning of the week to say 'you have x number of friends with birthdays this week' . . .

. . . maybe they fixed that glitch with the timeline layout?

arw · 10-01-2011, 09:03 PM

My birthdays are now showing up again. But I know for a fact a few people had bdays earlier in the week, and it's stated as such in their profiles, and they did not show up on my page.

prbiker15 · 10-01-2011, 09:22 PM

Don't know if this happens to anyone else, but I really hate how they separate the News Feed, or what was it: Recent Stories, Top Stories, From Earlier Today...but for me, after refreshing the page a few times, it just shows me Recent Stories. What a mess.

Yeah I really hate that too. Boo!

Download the "Better Facebook" plugin if you're using Firefox. It works well, and you can make it green!
