Preview the new Facebook profile page
One of the most prominent new features will be an emphasis on the mini-feed. In fact, it might be safer to start calling it a news feed, since it's not so mini-anymore. When you first view a profile, what you'll see is a list of recent activity on that account.
You can also click on tabs for Info, Photos, or Boxes. Info brings up your contact information, group membership, and other info. Boxes shows all the Facebook apps that are currently littering your main profile page. And we're going to let you figure out for yourself what shows up in the Photos tab.

Update: Facebook seems to have disabled the www.new.facebook.com page sometime in the last few hours. But trust us, it looks something like the image above!

It didn't work for me.

Doesn't work.

Not working here either.

If you install the Developers application, you should always have access to the new version (I've installed the app and I do). I've actually had access to the new profile for quite some time thanks to it. You can find it at http://www.facebook.com/developers/

Once you have it installed, what do you need to do to access the new version?
Adm. KJul 14th 2008 7:43PM
Once it's installed, just head on over to http://www.new.facebook.com/profile.php and you should hopefully see the new version. I installed the developer app and got the new version quite a while ago, but I recall it being as simple as that.

Works fine for me, I believe you need the Developer Application to be able to view it.

Is this a phishing scam? Like www.secure_ebay.com, etc...
kamron_1Jul 15th 2008 8:03AM
not at all, with something like www.secure_ebay.com, secure_ebay. is the actual domain whereas in www.new.facebook.com, facbook.com is the domain and "new" is the sub-domain.

Looking more and more Microsofty ;)

You're right, it really looks a lot like Live Spaces. http://spaces.live.com/
The header bar at the top, most profile information at the left, and main content in the center and right. Though done better, I guess.

Uh - "Facebok?" Really? Can you proof before you post?
NikolaGoJul 15th 2008 8:03AM
It does work as I have tried it before with this same method. It's Facebook that disabled it in the meantime.
By the way, any ETA on when are they introducing the new profile, or still it's just 'soon'.
AndreijJul 15th 2008 8:03AM
Wake up! It's the old sandbox!
JohnJul 15th 2008 8:04AM
Anyone else noticed that they've changed it again in the last few hours?
When I saw the new design earlier, the basic info & profile pic was on the right, and now it's on the left.
I like it even better now. :)
forwardJul 15th 2008 5:45PM
yup. I prefer on the left as well :)

When its it expect to go live?
mobyJul 16th 2008 5:06AM
I don't much care for the newer version. However, it is nothing compared to the hideousness that is myspace.
TheresaJul 31st 2008 7:19AM
It worked for me. I think they enabled it, again. Once you log in and go to new.facebook.com, you'll see it. If you don't like it, you can follow the link in the upper right hand corner - "back to the old facebook."
I like that the apps are on their own page, but I am not a fan of the new layout.
Ellison HorneJul 31st 2008 12:41PM
Yes, I just tried the link they suggest on Facebook's sign-in page, but it still does not work.
Also, can someone tell me if they are having problems with the Friend Finder feature? Mine stopped working a few months ago, and the Facebook support team has been no help at all. They keep telling me the problem has been fixed. Not true. I'm using Yahoo for my email, which they say they support. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ellison
