Facebook

In the last few days whenever I go to Facebook it only shows the posts that people have put on in the last few hours, then it says 'You're all caught up for now'.  I used to be able to scroll backwards and forwards to posts that appeared in the previous days/weeks.  Is there something I can do to rectify this to how it used to be.  Many thanks.

    Facebook changed the way the timeline works, it now only shows you posts from people you "interact" with, officially anyway.
    What you see in reality is anybody's guess.

    I find it does that now and again, old or new Facebook. It'll be fine again tomorrow/next week. Maybe.

    I use the Facebook Purity add on for Firefox - it makes it like something like normal!
  • By default (new interface) you see Top Posts now. On the left side menu click 'See more' and then scroll down to 'Most recent' - this will then update your news feed. I can then scroll down 'infinitely' as before.
