You are annoyed by the new Facebook chat. You can’t find which of your friends online and you can’t even hide away that annoying Facebook chat bar. If you have Googled around of how to get back the old Facebook chat you’ll be dissapointed by the profound technical terms in the step by step guide; install, script, add-on (yeah, i’m trying to be as Layman-friendly as possible). Anyway, you don’t even have to install or tweak any stuff at all. There is a simple workaround to get back the old Facebook chat. Here how it is being done.

Well, this is simple enough. How to get back the old Facebook chat? Go to the Facebook page, Hold down the “Ctrl” key and press the “+” on your keyboard. Or you can do it by holding the “Ctrl” and use your mouse to scroll up. You can actually notice this is a zooming function for your browser. Just by zooming one level, the new Facebook chat will be transformed back to the older better version. Simple enough? I dunno, this could be a function build by Facebook itself but didn’t documented well. Anyway, it just work and you don’t have to install or tweak anything at all.

This method has been tested in the following browser, and theoretically it should work on any browser except the ancient browsers like the Internet Explorer 6.

Works on:

• Google Chrome 13
• Mozilla Firefox 5
• Internet Explorer 8
• Opera 11
