Stupid new interface broke my filters and by the time I realized they were gone, the "go back" option was no longer available.

Anybody know how I can go back at least to get my filters?

Hating this week so hard...

I do not. But now I'm worried my filters might be broken. Can you say what broke?

They just went away. Like, the names for them were still there, but in "Manage Custom Friends Groups," when I clicked on each name, the place were the list of people on that filter wasn't populated with any names.

And on my "Filter Friends Page" when I clicked on each filter group, I just got my full friends list.

Anyway, followed the directions below & got them back & rather painstakingly copied typed them into a file so if I lose them again & want to recreate them exactly, I can.

Jeebus I can't even FIND my friends groups in the current UI. Ah, wait it's under "Feed". OK, I checked and my groups are there with the members I expect them to have. I'm sorry it bugged out and caused you grief.

sorry the week is sucking so much for you. is there anything i can do?

i'm wondering if my filters are broken too - things look weird and i haven't managed to sort it out yet. grr.

Thanks. I don't think so. It's all "I'm 44 & haven't done anything with my life" junk.

My filters broke when I got the "upgrade" AKA the new interface. But they didn't get messed up, they just vanished such that no matter what I clicked on, I just got my full friend feed.

Hi; I found this entry via my friends-of-friends list. I hope you don't mind my dropping in.

http://fengi.livejournal.com/1504674.html has useful pictures showing how to get your friends page back.

This does in fact work. When I looked today to turn off the oh my god so much whitespace my eyes are bleeding look, the question mark in a balloon was there.

I am delighted you dropped in! I found my filters thanks to you!
