What's happening to my skinny Facebook Page?

Are you a bit confused about the custom tabs on your Page being skinny all of a sudden? Get ready for what Facebook calls "Your Streamlined" Page.

From August 23, Facebook will be "simplifying your Page to make it easier to browse." All custom tabs will change from the current 760 pixel width to 520 pixels to fit in the centre console of your Page, in the same way that the Wall and Info sections currently do. Boxes will also be disappearing on Pages and profiles, as well as the Boxes tab.

You will currently see these changes on Pages that you are an admin of. Your fans do not, just yet. We advise you modify the layouts of your custom tabs if needed so that your Page looks fabulous for when the rest of Facebook changes over on August 23.

"The updates are designed to simplify navigation for users, reduce complexity for developers, and enable us to build the next generation of tools for growing your business with Facebook." ~ Fran, a Facebook platform product marketing manager.

Sounds good to us! Although we're sad to see the box customization go from our left sidebar, we're sure Facebook has the best of intentions with it's new Page width.
