how to change your facebook timeline back to a wall

there is no way to remove it - everyone is being converted to the timeline - it's the new look for facebook, not an optional update - they are now forcibly converting everyone slowly without your consent
this guide will help you learn how to use it

you can trick your browser into making it so you see your old profile, but everyone else will still be seeing your timeline profile, along with anything you dont want them seeing, and you wont be able to see anyone else's timeline profile then either

There's no way to undo the Timeline upgrade. Although for the moment Facebook did not make a clear statement in any of its official pages about how the upgrade would be deployed, and as a consequence there is a lot of false information going around, experienced users know that Facebook upgrades of this size have never been optional.
Besides, there are clear evidences that indicate that there will be no way to go back to the old Profile. Take a look at the article in the source to see what those evidences are.

Its not possible to completely remove Timeline, but you can easily go back to viewing the old style profile pages without timeline, you just need to follow this simple guide:

I read something in our newspaper:
"the browser extension "timeline remove" is available for Firefox, chrome and internet explorer, it doesn't do more or less than its name promises. After installation you have to restart your browser, or refresh facebook, and your profile page, AND those of your friends will look the normal way again.
In Chrome, a new icon will appear to the left of the wrench that gives access to the settings. When you click on it, you'll see a green mark that shows that the extension is active. If you click on it again, it turns red and you'll see the timeline interface again.
If you install Timeline Remove, only you will see the classical lay-out again. Your friends will still see your profile page as a timeline. Unfortunately the extension can't help when you want to see a profile page of companies and organisations."
Maybe you should try this out? I haven't tried it myself, I'm scared my computer will explode
Good luck, and let me know if it worked!
