For some of us, I didn’t like the fact that I was forced into the new twitter layout, and would have much rather preferred the option to turn on the old layout over the new one. I understand why they did it, but did not like logging into it one day and having it change. I understand that they want to make it smoother, and more like their mobile version, but to force it and do so without warning. Well that was a “No-go” for me and I hated looking at the new twitter. Plus I did not like the fact that they put on my profile in the middle of my tweets of “Who to follow” and would not allow me to turn it off. I can understand having it on the side, on the main page, but forcing it into the center of my own profile. Ahh, no thanks, I don’t need their recommendations of who to follow. If I am on my own profile, it’s because I’m doing something to it, or removing tweets I have posted. I don’t need to see that kind of stuff on my own profile. Bad enough Facebook does that to me with friend suggestions above my timeline at times. At least with Facebook I could click the little “X” and it would remove that for a while. With twitter they forced it into the middle of my tweets a person posts, and not allow us to get rid of it. I don’t even use twitter on my mobile phone, so therefore I don’t care about how fluid it works and how this new twitter on the desktop would work as well. After a few days of it’s released I stopped going to my twitter, I am now only using it now to post my blog posts and that is it. I stopped going to twitter all the time as it’s nothing but a cesspool of political debates, and unwanted posts of half naked women. It’s really become a place that I no longer use, nor will I ever return to it again. I only use it when I have too, other than that, NO thanks, but I wanted to write this post for those that don’t like the new layout in twitter, there are options and ways to get the old layout back if you’re currently using Firefox, and Chrome. I was so happy to be able to install this add on, or extension and have my old twitter layout back. Lifehacker was the website that I found to be able to help with the use of the add on, and or extension. Their article titled “How to revert back to Twitter” was a lifesaver for me.I was able to revert back to the old twitter and I couldn’t be happier with that option. I wish twitter gave that option in the user settings, but instead they feel the need to force everyone to change, and realize that not everyone likes to have the changes happen. There really was no warning that they were doing this, and that it would be implemented as soon as it was. Had they given us a little bit of a notice, I would probably not have hated it right off the beginning. Since they didn’t, I couldn’t stand the change, and wanted my old twitter back as soon as possible. While many just go with the flow and move onto changes, but for someone like me that has a really hard time with changes , and things changing, I need to be able to go back to old layouts, and so forth. I guess that is also why my blog here has never really had changed in layouts. Even when I’m gaming I have certain UI’s that I enjoy the most, and when I have to install a game to a new hard drive, or reinstall a game I make sure I back up those files that I can put them back so that I’m not pulling my hair out and fixing them the way I want them.

The website Lifehacker is my go too for just about everything when it comes to wanting to revert back to something, or that makes my life easier. I have a few sites that I go too for PC Stuff, Gaming, Apps that I want , along with a few other things. I tend to keep my life easier for the most part. But when I’m forced into a change that I did not expect, I start to have a hard time with anxiety issues because it’s just not something I’m use too. Sadly companies don’t take into consideration about those of us that have a hard time with change, and believe that it’s better for everyone. For us that have anxiety it doesn’t help us a whole lot. I am even like that when our stores change their layout, but eventually with enough time in there I can get use too. I’m not saying that I am against change, but it is harder to force someone who was unaware of a change and expect them to adapt to it with ease. So if these companies are aware that more people have anxiety issues, and don’t adapt to change quickly like some. I wish they would consider us as people as well. Sadly that is not always the case for us though, it’s almost like in some companies have no consideration about how things are for us.
