Facebook users will be forced into using Timeline, its new profile page, which allows members to tell the story of their life on a single page, in less than a week's time.
Until now, the change to the new-look Facebook, has been voluntary. But Facebook's 800 million users around the world no longer have a choice as Timeline has been made compulsory starting from Aug 8.
However, users across the site were up in arms about the forced change, which was first mooted earlier this year and is quite a dramatically different way each member displays their personal information.
One user wrote: "I'm sorry but this is rubbish. I'm surprised Facebook hasn't included a compulsory DNA profile section (default to public obviously)."
Web users generally do not welcome the redesign of sites and digital services they use every day.
However, it remains to be seen how forcing Facebook users into such a radical change of their most personal page on the site, will fare with the majority of members.
