Now 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 :
*Note: It is important to tell all our viewers that Facebook Timeline is a server side feature and using below methods can deactivate this for your Profile and also for others but only visible to you.
GOOGLE CHROME users follow the steps below :
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.
