Whoever decided to do away with the ease of the home page activity feed obviously did not survey their customers. I’ve been with MFP for 12 years, and a premium member for several years. Their decision to overhaul their app has caused me to consider other apps. When I emailed the Helpdesk, all I got was a “smug” answer that this was the direction they were going in. Somehow they think that by complicating a simple streamlined app that they will grow their customer base?
I’m an engineering director and can tell you that simple streamlined functionality is what sells. If you want to offer more complicated options, have at it but keep simplicity for the “masses” who don’t have time to touch through numerous menus/actions to quickly communicate.

Ok… rant over…

    It was coming. Just don’t install every update next time. Or roll it back if possible on your os

    In this specific case, they're not complicating things and they didn't change the lay-out, they removed an entire feature. (But yeah, bad idea.)

    My newfeed on the web page was removed yesterday. I have said before I am unhappy with the change. Now that I am dealing with it, I dislike it even more. Friend support is basically gone at this point in any easy to use and useful manner.

    Ok, sorry. No idea because I always go straight to diary and never look at the newsfeed or any other features.

    I can't figure out how to respond to my profile link so that I can enter my data about myself.
