Get Old Facebook Photo Viewer



Facebook keep bring new interface to their site. Some of these are very good to use and some of them are very annoying to FB users. This new Facebook light box photo viewer is a one of them which is annoying to the FB users. The worst thing is they don’t give any option to revert it and get old Facebook photo viewer. Hopefully the Facebook team will disable this new feature. In the old classic Facebook photo viewer, you can view albums using " Next " and " Back " buttons which is located above the photo. Now I’ll show some of tricks to get old Facebook photo viewer back.


1st Method
You can disable new FB light box photo viewer by URL cracking. When you click on a photo and it opens with using new FB photo viewer and it’s URL looks like this.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=21369752021945&set=a.11328548736508.21963.1001452895480&type=1&theater

Now I think you noticed that this URL ends with “ &theater ”. You have to remove “ &theater ” and press " Enter " key. Now you have got the old classic FB photo viewer.

2nd Method
Open a photo in a new window or open it in a new tab. Now you can see your photo opened with using old FB photo viewer.

3rd Method
Open a photo and refresh it (by pressing “F5” key ) or Reload it ( by clicking on the photo and selecting “Reload” ) to revert new Facebook light box photo viewer.
