how is it possible that “Facebook lite” is only available in USA and india if it on the world wide web ???i’m in pakistan and i was able to open this page . maybe ’cause i’m india’s neighbor ;D
Chris, I sent feed back telling them that if they had ‘friends current status updates’ I’d be sold! I said, even twitter has that much if you click on ‘following’! Regular fb took that feature away with one of their ongoing bunch of changes. A lot of people miss that feature.
I find fb lite is really good if you only have access to ‘dial-up’ service however it won’t be popular with gamers or people who like adding attachments etc … The ads are sparse right now but you can bet that will change!
This Lite version of facebook works anywhere I guess,
I live in Egypt and I tried the link it worked ..
The lite version lacks the wall to wall option, And i think that option is from the essentials ..
youv been talking a lot about video games lately and i was looking on line and found somthing called a emulator that can replicate a nintendo 64 or other old gameing systems on your PC. i was wondering how this worked? i was also wondering if it is aproved by the nintendo company or its just so old now that they dont care. please leave feed back or make a show of it thanks.
For heaven’s sake..how do i switch back from fb-lite??? There is no option provided…! Seems indians are the guinea pigs!! Take a look, Chris. See the comments.. http://lite.facebook.com/pages/Facebook-Lite/129521886143/ and don’t forget to check the wall too..!!
Facebook Lite sucks…i want to revert back to the earlier version…but there is no link to do so….help me out…i like the earlier version….
Facebook Lite is horryfying and very irritating.. Did u see the comments tht indicate the irritation of people who have been switched on to FB Lite. FB thinks tht this is a big deal and somethng good tht they’ve done..BUT people r not liking it. Get the regular normal version of FB back.
FB LITE IS CRAP and very uninteresting!!!!!!!
hey man tell me how to switch back to regualar facebook…i dont want this facebook llite there is no chat no requests no games no quizes wat is this ??plzzzzzzzzzzzz reply me now plzzzzzzzzzzz how to switch to regular facebook…
Hey u knw what facebook has really done it this time what is the use of offering a beta if people cant go back to the original.
FaceBook was found to be the best site among all,, but know i dnt even like to open my account,,,,now i think the only option is to deactivate my FaceBook account.
GOoD BYE FACEBOOK.
or plz get me the way to go back to regular fb…i hate fb lite no applictaion no chat….what to do now???
FB lite sucks out of proportion!! Whats the difference b/w it and twitter now?? No proper notifications, apps, chat, and no HOME??
Sucks…sucks…sucks!!!
Tell us how can we revert to regular FB??? This will be remembered as the worst disasterous beta of anything in recent times!!!!
This newer version so called Facebook lite is actuallt Facebook Heavy. It is totally uncomfortable and not user friendly. Whoever has coined the thought process should do some more ground work. Change is acceptable and one should accept, but with a little liberty give. Guys(Developer) of Facebooklite please do not force your innovation on so many user, It’s TOTALY IRRATIONAL AND MOST IRRITATING. GIVE OPTION TO USERS TO SWITCH BETWEEN FACEBOOK AND FACEBOOKLITE. THIS WILL HELP USING OLDER VERSION OF FACEBOOK and SIMOLTANEOUSLY EXPLORING THE FACEBOOKLITE TO GET ADAPTED TO IT. GUYS(THE DEAR DEVELOPER & INNOVATORS OF FACEBOOK LITE) IF HEARING THE VOICE OF USERS CAN YOU PLEASE ADD ON THIS LITTLE SIMPLE INNOVATION TO YOUR HIGHT PRIORITY TASK LIST AND DO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE……TAHNKS
chris,
it is not working, I’m facing the same problem! It seems that i still can’t access to my normal facebook…..please give me some remedy!
well i just want my old facebook back.i cannot access ma games nor the gifts which i get through those games.r u forcing this thing on us ??
jus gimme a way back to the original facebook
Don’t know if this will work for you guys having trouble but you can try entering http://www.facebook.com/your user name. If that doesn’t work then write to fb help and ask them. I’m sure they will help you.

Hope this helps!?
don’t want ot use this bloody facebook lite..
hw can i go back to normal facebook??
Chris whatever you have suggested i have tried everything possible to get back to the original version but of no use.It seems guys at facebook think Indians are still living in a century old era with 56Kbps line let me make one thing clear we do have a gud broadband reach and according to Indian Givt standard the broadband definition is minimum 256Kbps. If this lite thing continues I am sure facebook will loose many of its loyal users and let there be no doubt I would be the first one to delete my account. Regarding the comment Chris gave above the feedback thing is not working nobody replies to the feedback I wonder how can facebook do such a big blunder… I am starting to hate facebook
facebook lite is horrible… how do you clear cookies?
Chris all the remedies you have pointed out are not working. It is not a cookie thing. The people who were duped into the facebook lite version are always getting that version.
Although the settings page is I think the only page that takes us back to the original version. I think there may have been nummerous feedback condemning the lite version. i have done it too.
Leaving this aside there is even a fan page for this on facebook from the makers for comments on it. It has more than a 1000 comments against it.

facebook lite sucks man…no quizez..no games…can see friends request nd most importantly cant accept my pending farmville gifts…i want to go back to the normal version of facebook…otherwise i’d delete my account..

It aint a cookie thing and its foolish on part of facebook developers not to give an option of reverting back everyone from yahoo to msn gave it wen they changed over ….

You can not mess up with your users like this without an option to revert to previous version.

hey guys… i’ve been hittin my head against wall tryin to figure out how to get facebook regular back.. but no permanent stuff… one thing you can do is hit the “settings” button on the top right. it will take you to your account settings. and the stupidity i laughed at is that this page is the only page that appears in the regular format.. here you can access all the applications, notifications and all the available functions!
good luck.
Jay
