Nope.

I hate this new thing too. I hope that they will return to the old way—maybe tout is as a new feature or something. This new way of getting the feed really sucks.

When you hover over the “top story” posts, a bod comes up that allows you to unmark it as a top story. If you do that for all of the top stories, it then just goes into a regular news feed. After a few days of unmarking all the top stories, you should have very few to none at all coming up anymore.

The top of your newsfeed has a link to more recent stories. If you click the link, it takes you down the page to where the most recent posts start. From there, everything is in order by when it was posted, with the most recent first.

I circled the link in red in this screenshot.

@bobbinhood Several hours after I asked this question, I noticed that my news feed was arranged in this way. I’m pretty sure that I clicked ‘more recent stories’. By the way, who uses Internet Explorer? =) Thanks all

There was something on PBS the other night about people being fed up with Facebook. It seems the new design has really upset people a lot. There was a FB question about a week ago, and someone answered that it’s lame to complain about something that’s free. I could not find the question when I searched for it by “facebook” and “lame.” I think it’s absolutely justified to complain about something like FB even though it’s free, because they want people to stick around so they can sell advertising. If people get sick of it and close their accounts, or start using another social networking site more instead of FB, that hurts FB and it hurts advertising sales.
