Facebook Interest Lists?

BlueBella

Hi,
This morning my interest lists have all disappeared from the left hand side of my Facebook page? Does anyone know if Facebook have got rid of them?

Oh no, mine have gone too. I really used those for comping.

Mine have gone too. Facebook is just a waste of time without them. Most of the posts I actually want to see never appear in my feed.
I found a petition to get them back on the help pages http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/FB-Interest-Lists

Thanks tansycat - I will take a look! I hate the way they just change things without telling us! I am really annoyed as I used several interest lists for coming!

Me too, I had all my weekly FB comps on lists plus all my favourite and local pages Gutted

Mine went ages ago. Think they've been rolling it out across the board this year.

Makes it much harder to keep track of companies I follow as I used to use it to check in to them occasionally, but more useful at Christmas.

Yeah! I found my interest lists!

On my laptop I searched 'facebook' in my history and found each of my Facebook Interest lists from when I have visited them last. when I clicked on them it took me to my Interest lists still intact so all I did was save them in my bookmarks bar so whenever I want to access a list, I just click on it! I can still remove/add pages to each list too

So if you want your Interest lists again - do what I did and search your history!

What you can you do is save one of your interest lists then open it up again and change the name to re-create a list you lost...and repeat!
