Careful Now! Facebook Timeline

February 29, 2012 at 5:04 pm

Facebook introduced timeline today for Pages and already people are having some troubles. Here are the top things to watch out for:

Don’t flick the switch! If you are an Admin and you’re in your Page, tread very carefully as some smarter people than you have been caught out and have flicked the switch and are now stuck with the new Page without having tested it.
If you have Apps that are fan-gated, you may find that they won’t work as they should. This is probably the biggest one and definitely one to check with your reputable Facebook App Developer.
If you are a Place, you might find your description box being replaced by address details.

A solution that was shared by Betapond to this:

First go to the newly merged places page, click Edit info, and delete the address completely and save your changes. Then go back into Edit info again, and there should be some sort of dialogue underneath where the address used to be that says “Disconnect this page from a street address” or something to that effect. Hopefully soon Facebook can figure out how to have multiple locations linked to one fan page.
