Disable Facebook Timeline

Timeline received a mixed response from Fb users, some welcoming it, some feeling it as a necessary burden to carry. Many of my friends wanted their old Facebook profiles back. I have been looking for a way to do so, which brings me to this post about how to disable Timeline. You can do away with your Timeline just by following the steps below :

For Google Chroome users:

---Right-click on Chrome Browser application (shortcut) and then click “Properties”.
---In the target box, add the following line of code leaving a space after chrome.exe

Windows 7/Vista users need to add this

–user-agent=”Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)”

Windows XP users need to add this

–user-agent=”Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)”

---Click on “Apply” and go to Facebook.com
---Close your Browser and Restart it and hard refresh your profile page (Ctrl+F5). You will get the Old profile view with some Formatting errors like extra space between header etc. To Fix those errors, Install this Extension in Google Chrome. [LINK]
---You’ll find your Facebook profile has been reverted back to the old interface from the new Timeline view.

For FireFox users:

---Open Firefox, Install User Agent Switcher add-on & Restart the Firefox.
---Once installed, the UAS icon will be displayed on the navigation bar. If its not displayed automatically, right-click on the navigation bar and click customize. Drag the icon “User Agent Switcher” on to the nav bar of the browser.
---Now, click on the User Agent Switcher button and select Internet Explorer -> Internet Explorer 7.Finally, go to Facebook.com and you’ll get back your old Facebook profile interface.
---Open Facebook and hard refresh your profile page (Ctrl+F5). You will get the Old profile view with some Formatting errors like extra space between header etc. To Fix those errors, Install this . [LINK]

For Internet Explorer:

For those who are using Internet Explorer 7 their is no need to do any change because Facebook Timeline would not be visible to them. For others :

Open Facebook Profile Page.
---Press Alt Key. Click on Tools > Compatibility View Settings.
---If facebook.com is already filled in, Click on Add else fill in facebook.com and Click on Add followed by Close.
---Refresh the page.

Best of Luck to All
