Facebook testing new design for controversial Timeline format The latest timeline does away with this approach, replacing it with a single column of posts. On the right hand side, when there are no more modules to show, the Timeline appears blank and does not fill with status updates or wall posts. Facebook forced its current Timeline onto users in August to a chorus of disapproval. A Page called 'I hate FB Timeline, and want to disable it ASAP' has accumulated more than 26,000 likes since it was created in December 2011.
