as I said on fb ~ change your settings to English US and you should see it.

Utter crap.

Old system - Choose if you want to see 'Top Stories' first or 'Most Recent' for chronological order.

New system - 'Top stories' given priority, everything else below in chrono order. Except when it autoupdates without a page reload then the latest goes at the top. So you end up with a few chronological, then some 'top stories' then more chronological.

Utterly stupid, they've just removed your ability to choose and forced you to use the 'Top story' option except also managed to make it display in a stupid order too.

If it's going to be forced like this from now on I can foresee myself hiding a lot of people as I have a few friends that have a billion friends that live on facebook and will repeatedly comment on stuff which ends up with facebook deeming it as newsworthy when it's mostly just crap.

ho hum. another nail in the coffin.

My Patch pictures used to appear on my news feed once I posted them (I hope those of you who usually look at them can see todays) however now they don't, I can only see them if I click onto my profile.

I have all the people that I know and want to see their feeds on a separate list and then just look at that list instead of the news feed.
This also means that I don't get the new annoying ticker feed on the right hand side

I can't see it on the newsfeed, but if I go to your page I can see it. I've subscribed and I've got you set for all updates and photos and videos and it's still not showing :/ Random, after the changes today I'm getting shown stuff I don't want to see and can't seem to get it to show stuff I want to see.

I could be doing something wrong obviously, but sheesh I work in IT for a living. If it's not easy for me to set it how I want you have to wonder......
