Facebook Launches New Homepage and Login

Posted by Nick O'Neill on September 30th, 2008 12:42 AM

Early this evening a few users began reporting that a new login page began appearing for Facebook. This makes sense given the company’s redesign. This new homepage design and the redesign of their login page may signal the final transfer of users over to the new design. While we can’t confirm that all users have been transferred, there are many signs pointing to this being the final touch.

Even though the new design had launched, any user which visited the site without logging in was greeted with the old design. That is no longer the case. See the screenshot below for what the new homepage looks like. Facebook still has a fair number of upgrades that need to take place as not all areas within the site take advantage of the wider design.

Update
We are now seeing the new design as well. The new design shift may now be final. We are waiting to hear confirmation from Facebook that the shift is complete.

    the revamp is currently on new.facebook.com (where you can log in). facebook.com hosts the old stale log in page but this likely to disappear soon as all of new.facebook.com is 'ported' to the facebook.com domain and old facebook is overwritten!

    Facebook messed something up. I cannot log in, and I don't understand why. Every time I type in my e-mail and password they page comes up that says Server Not Found.

    What does this mean? How can I resolve this situation?

    SadFace, I'm getting the same thing right now. Maybe their login server is down?

    I found out how to fix it.

    Open a command prompt (Start>Run)
    Type ipconfig /flushdns

    Then restart your internet browser. It worked for me!

    i hate the new facebook. I cannot log in half the time. It constantly says done to a blank screen. The only way I can log in is to restart my computer, clear all history, temp files, etc. and even then it only works sometimes. New facebook sucks!
