ATLien_0 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 damn your right, i saw the scroll bar and naturally assumed that would allow me to scroll the chat. well this sucks, wonder how it decides what to show? can't you select people on the left hand sidebar (square pics) or is that the same as chat edit nevermind, just saw they took the people hub away on the left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmatic Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 the people hub only appears when you have the sidebar hidden ahh i just noticed that .... so you CAN see all the people who are online on a seperate section of the screen, as long as you hide the sidebar ... when the 'people hub' thing first showed up on the left side i thought it was a little bit redundant because there was already a chat thingie, even though it was on the opposite side of the screen ... now it makes more sense, by showing one or the other... it seems that the sidebar is becoming less of an 'instant messaging' thing and more of an address book , and the chat functions are instead focused on the 'people hub' on the left if only they would stop labelling the sidebar as 'chat' ....

Ayepecks Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Don't care for this at all. I want a list of my friends who are online -- nothing else. If they're offline, why would I want to message them? I can just send them a text message or go to their profile and message them. Now it doesn't show me the entirety of who is online, which is annoying as hell. I have no qualms with the placement or addition of the search, but I do have qualms with not being able to see everyone online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growled Member Posted July 18, 2011 Member Share Posted July 18, 2011 I hate the sidebar. It may be the single worst thing Facebook has come up with, and considering all the stupid stuff they have done that's saying a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kondrath Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Isn't there any way to have it display certain friend lists like the old one? Why would they take that feature away o_O? I'd really like to meet some of the people that make these idiotic changes to see why they did the things they did. What the heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayscale Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I had this for around a couple of hours then it's back to the old one. The next day it's back to this new one >.< I'm stuck with using the sidebar as the old facebook chat bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John. Subscriber¹ Posted July 19, 2011 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 19, 2011 Eh, I don't really like it that much. Too big and lots of unnecessary information (Friends that aren't online) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Veteran Posted July 19, 2011 Veteran Share Posted July 19, 2011 Eh, I don't really like it that much. Too big and lots of unnecessary information (Friends that aren't online) You say it's unnecessary information, but have you wanted to private message some of those that are not online before? That's Facebook's philosophy with this new update; make the people one speaks to most always appear in that sidebar, even if they're offline, because the Chat and Messages systems are pretty much merged. Due to that, if you have wanted to send offline private messages to some of these people before, I wouldn't call offline friends unnecessary information. It's just simply that you don't agree with Facebook's new Chat and Messages philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayscale Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 'Improve' may be the better word. I still have 5-6 friends that I do not frequently interact with on that list and those that I always talk to missing (sorry for my bad english) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
