@rocksteadyfreddie facebook closed the loophole this extension was using to get the old design back., so it no longer works.
You should still be able to switch back if you are a Page or Group admin, just login to your page or group, and there should be a button at the top left letting you switch back to the old design for 48 hours. If you are not an admin, it should be possible to create a "shell" page or group just for the option, in theory.
@rmgillespiei i just checked and it seems opera have put this update in a manual moderation queue, so there is no way of knowing when it will be approved. if you want to always have the latest version, the best way is to use Chrome, as the updates are published the fastest on that platform.
Though there is also a browser extension for Opera, that lets you install Chrome extensions, so that might be another solution.
@d4rkf4lcon: Opera have just approved the latest Revert Site update, give it a try, but there are a couple of issues you need to know about with the new version. A side effect of the revert option is the chat sidebar on the right won't be available. Though you can still use the messages dropdown in the top navigation bar to send and receive messages. You can also use the auxiliary facebook messaging website: messenger.com to check online friends, and chat etc.
Another issue is sometimes you may find yourself switched the mobile version of the site, but you can reset it back to the desktop version by typing in www.facebook.com in the address bar, or clicking www.facebook.com
@st333v: update: opera can now install chrome extensions directly i believe, you may need to enable an option in opera the first time you try and install a chrome extension

@tiger2000: @goodpasture: due to facebook closing many of the loopholes RS was using to get the old site back, currently RS can only Revert Biz/Fan Pages, Events, and a few other pages, it cant revert Newsfeed or Groups. But can revert photo album edit pages (for personal profiles, Pages, and Groups)
@goodpasture: why are you reviewing Revert Site on the FBP extension page? BTW Revert Site mode 2 does work, it just cant revert the newsfeed page, almost all other facebook pages should revert OK.
@hawksflight1: @hawksflight1: try the latest Revert Site update v9, it should work much better now. It now has 2 revert modes, the default one should get the full old site design back including the Newsfeed. If mode 1 doesnt work, you can use the fall back mode, but its not as feature complete as mode 1, mode 2 cant revert the newsfeed, instead facebook redirects you to the mobile version of the newsfeed page.
@cretanjohn sorry, yes, this forum is very confusing indeed, have never seen anything like it. sorry for any confusion. theres probably a button on the opera extensions management page to update your extensions. if not you may need to turn the developer mode switch on first, then it should appear.
