Facebook Timeline Doesn't Support Internet Explorer 7

Everyone with Facebook's new timeline profile, take one step forward. Internet Explorer 7 users: Not so fast.

Everyone with Facebook’s new timeline profile, take one step forward. Internet Explorer 7 users: Not so fast.

The Sociable reported that the new Facebook profile does not support IE7 at all, and that users of the five-year-old Microsoft browser see the old Facebook profile.

Even worse, the old profile comes complete with display issues for IE7 users, as some of the style-sheet language does not mesh well with the browser, according to The Sociable, which added that IE7’s global market share for browsers is just slightly more than 4 percent.

One “benefit” to this news, as pointed out by The Sociable: Facebook users who hate timeline can “revert” to the old profile by using IE7 or setting their user agents in Chrome, Firefox, or Safari to IE7.
