Would you like to know how to test the new options and features of facebook before your friends?
yes?....
Of course you would... thats the answer for just about everyone..
Here you will find the instructions on how to do just that.. but make sure you follow these instructions to the T.. otherwise you will not be able to get it and it wont work a second try (well you can try again in 2 weeks when it resets)....
-=-=-=-=NOTE==--=-=-
these are copied instructions and edited a bit to make them more human and happy to read... if it doesnt work dont message us looking for us to fix it... facebook is busy fixing the site... if its not working for someone its no big deal... any comments left in here will just be deleted due to im just the message boy... so please if it doesnt work just wait and try again later
=--=-END NOTE--=-=-=
First off i want you all to know thanks for stopping by to check my nifty instructions and i would like to explain some of the new features you will be testing
right now there are only 3 features being tested besides the boring programing stuff that happens behind the scenes...
1: the thing people seem to want the most is the wonderful DISLIKE button... yup thats it the button that will tell it all for you.... someone post something stupid like "someone kill me" you can just hit the dislike button.. unless your like me and probably would hit the like button...
2: a nifty rating system... rate pictures and posts the higher the rate the higher up your feed it goes... sadly it only last for like 5 days then it gets taken off the rate feed (not deleted just off of the rate feed)... sooo you could have the highest rate at like 9.5 and after 5 days the post will be taken down and a 7.2 might be the new winner but who knows... either way you access the rate feed from from your normal feed page up at the top where it would have most recent and top news... it will say top rated... the rating system is 1-10 (10 being best) and it is right next to the comment, like, dislike buttons
3: last and most entertaining to me.... Webcam chat!... its a little wonky right now has a bit o lag to it and some times cuts out and reconnects but its been getting better you can tell they are working on it... beside your normal chat bar is the "video chat" bar and it will bring up anyone currently on cam.... you can talk to multiple people at once but its still only one on one.. they are working on a chat room type deal for it...
now on to the instructions
first off you must be on the beta testing group page thing.. sooo if you havent already you need to go add that... it is here
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=342486147792&ref=nf
next you need to hit share and post a bulletin to get people to add the group page thing... they will be watching rather or not you do this.... if you dont do this step
IT WONT WORK.... their servers are keeping track of who joins and who sends out.... people that dont send out dont get to be part of the beta program... the reason they do this is cause they want a lot of people to work on this to get feedback... a new page is made every series of beta testing and this time im the lucky schmo that gets the 10 mins of fame...
now this is the hard part.. i know i know you hate the hard parts... and you have to do this... you must wait ATLEAST 24 hours before you can skip on tio the next step and let me tell you why.... like i said before the servers keep track of all who do this and share the page.... well it takes a while to for the servers to count everyone up and see who has and who hasent... so right now write down the time and at this time tomorrow or after get back on and come back to this page and continue on to the next step... trust me its worth it.... remember if you dont give it atleast 24 hours it might not work... there is a chance it will work before then but it is safe fore sure at 24.... if you try it before then you might mess it up and you will have to wait 2 weeks to try again
HELLO AND WELCOME BACK!
ok now that you have waited we need to check a few things...
first make sure you are signed on facebook
now make sure everything is working right and its not having problems like it sometimes does... so message someone talk a bit feel free to post another bulletin about this again search for craig ferguson (the comedian/talkshow host)and become a fan.... ummm maybe play an app.. just makesure its running smooth so we dont have any problems... sadly a small hiccup in the system can fail this....
NEXT.... this is a number generator... it set to get a number that will be put in your address bar to let facebook know you are trying to access the beta section
don try and edit anything just hit generate then take the number you get and put it in this URL but place it where the XXXX is (delete just the 4 XXXX and put the number in its spot)
http://www.facebook.com/#!/beta3463XXXX76832test832.php
put that in your url hit enter and after that it should come back saying that it is updating your profile to beta testing profile and it will say it will take about 5 mins and that you should clear your cache and cookies then close your browser to avoid any browser problems (some times it will show the old stuff cause its saved in the browser)
open up your browser and surf the next for 5 mins and come back and whala! you have your beta page...
if this didnt work and you got an error or something then please skip down to the credits
NOW FOR PICTURES! click on them
here are a few pictures of how what it looks like... not a big change still simple and small.... its fun stuff.... this is by far my favorite beta test i have ever done.... i have quite a few friends already on it and they are getting a kick out of it too... you should see the cam stuff its a lot of fun... you can draw on it and stuff
Credits:
i would like to thank you all for coming by and taking part in this... this is something that not very many people get or think about when it comes to stuff like this... it takes a lot of work to put this together and make it all fall in to place... i have been at this for a few hours now writing and editing and laughing and getting people to help out... if you havent realized this yet this is all a gag its all oout of fun and the facebook company has nothing to do with its.... just wanted to see how many people join... so go back to the group and check out how many members and fans there are and you will see how many other people fell for it... take part in the fun and share the group with others and tell them how great the beta test is so more will join and lets see if we can make it to 1 million members.... so please if you like what you have seen here click a google ad on this page for me... here are the credits and i will add to them the more i get some help
