How to Change Back to the Previous Facebook Photo Layout

February 17, 2011 February 17, 2011 / By Ross McKillop

This very brief tutorial/tip will show you how to revert to the previous version of the Facebook Photo layout.

I said it was brief – just remove the &theatre string from the end of the URL when viewing a picture.

Once again, you’ll be presented with the ‘old’ photo interface, with the Previous, Next and other navigation links where they used to be.

mocca – worked for me too (in Chrome, haven’t tested it in others). I had to Shift+Refresh though, it pulled the cached version with just a normal ‘Refresh’.

cwscms – awesome trick! I could only get it to work in Firefox – not in Chrome or Safari (all on OS X, will try Windows later).

Thanks!!
