New face of facebook....

After a month or so of bombarding me with notices telling me just how many of my friends are cooler than me and already switched to the new profile on facebook, I have a notice telling me I will be switched over now.  I get that they have a new interface, they want people to use the new one, transition time, blah, blah -- but did they really need to annoy me with those other notices when they were going to make the new profile mandatory anyway??  I would rather they tell me in the beginning 'we have a new look, you will be changed over by date XX, if you want to change earlier, you can'  and leave it at that.  I don't need daily/hourly updates letting me know that I am not on the cutting edge of FB.

And who really looks at profile pages?  Most of the time I go to FB, I look at the main status/updates, and messages -- that's it!  Maybe I am just an anomaly in the FB world :)  (I also don't play Farmville, so obviously somethings off!)

And while I am ranting on FB -- what's with my changes to privacy settings not working when I use Firefox?  As far as I know, I have all the necessary scrips allowed, but every time I make a change to one of the settings (say from friends only to friends of friends), the option just switches itself back.  Finally got my changes to fix using IE, but it was annoying!
