"Like" pages get an upgrade ...
Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 12:17PMAWESOME timing! I was literally just finishing reading the article on Mashable explaining about the page upgrade, RIGHT as the TNTML page prompted me for an upgrade. Ohhh life, you're fab!
It was funny, when it first happened in December, I happened to be sitting on Facebook (duh)- and was fortunate enough to watch the accidental launch happen. Thank you screenshots!
Either way, I was really curious to see the effect the new layout was going to have on FBML (facebook mark up language), basically all the pretty stuff that people add in to their pages.
For our page, I created mock Facebook profile accounts with all the reviews people had given us in the early days. HEHEEHEHE I set it to 1969 .. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHE!!
It's still there, they just moved the navigation over to the left. It looks a little less appealing, since at least before you could edit the display tab. I haven't been able to figure out if the change in navigation would also change the setting of the landing page for new users. For example, if you're not a liker of TNTML on Facebook, it automatically directs you to the FBML page instead of the wall ... that's intentional.
I'm super super super stoked to see what people are going to do with the tagged images up top. I feel like that'll be HUGE as far as the general display is concerned, even now potentially more so than any FBML that people have added.
ALSO!!! I got the photo upgrade on Facebook as well this morning. All pictures are done through a shadow box type display:
I liked it at first ... dug the display, WAYYY better than having to wait for it to load on some pics, or have me click an untag, or tag before as clearly not all images are the same size and my fingers move SO fast while navigating through pictures ... that was until I realized I couldn't copy those pictures!!!!!
Facebook put a friggen lock on images now!!!
I know that's for our "safety" and yada yada ... I should be happy, I'm sure it'll impede a few people from making fake accounts - but dude, it is SUCHHHH a pain now having to screen shot pics I steal from Facebook for posts. GRRRRRRRRRR!!! Oh well, give and take ... give and take.
Thanks so so much Marky Mark and your Facebook bunch! I superly duperly appreciate the new page redesign and can't WAIT to see what you have up your disc sleeve next.
ohhh baby I love it when you pout at me like that *drool*

RE: Pictures
Currently, one can still get them to open normally without the lightbox. Instead of just left-clicking on the picture, right-click and "Open in New Tab" (or new window) and things work perfectly normally.
If one is using an Apple instead of an IBM-Compatible system, eh... I'm sure one can work out how to open a link in a new tab.
THANK YOU!!! great advice!! #nerdsunite
