You see friends uploaded photos and created albums on Facebook. It looks interesting. You flip over - or in the case of Facebook, you click over - only to find the photo goes back to the first photo even before the next one completely loads. Or... you click and find a horizontally stretched photo. If that's not annoying enough, you find a combo of the two.
Over the 2 years or so since I joined Facebook, I think it has changed its photo viewer twice (I may have missed one). From how I remember it, Facebook first changed the photo viewer into a lightbox. What was annoying about it was that scrolling down to view the comments hides the photo from your view. Then you get so engrossed reading the comments that you forget what photo you were viewing :p. So, you scroll back up to see the photo. Another thing is, when you're done reading the comments, you have to scroll back up so you can click on the "next" button.
I had a feeling, a lot of people didn't like more than I didn't. So Facebook came up with a clever idea to upgrade it to the current photo viewer. You can now see the photo side by side with the comments. You can now scroll down to read the comments at the right side of the photo. Seems like a great idea! Unfortunately, the whole photo viewing experience got worse. I would say it is the worst photo viewer among social networking sites right now.
I have been trying to bear with it for months now, hoping perhaps Facebook will do something to stabilize it. But no, they didn't. I wonder if they even know their new photo viewer sucks in performance!!!
It is crappy. It sucks. And it is totally annoying!!!
I can't grasp why they're not fixing it!! And if they are, I don't get how a billion-dollar company can't hire programmers that can fix it FAST and EFFICIENTLY!! Bust the bugs people!!!
I am pissed because it is a waste of time when the same photo loads 2 or 3 times after clicking the next button. I am pissed because this has been going on since they UPGRADED the photo viewer, which means it has been going on for months now!
Bust it Facebook! Bust it!
