FWIW: I don't have timeline, and it changed mine to @facebook.com

@facebook.com was part of a 2 year old initiative. Part of the vanity URL programme. Separate from Timeline.

Timeline was rolled out to all accounts. Are you using a plugin to approximate the old look or something?

Timeline was rolled out to all accounts only as an option, I believe.
I'm still on the "old" profile, as are many (if not most) of my friends. Yet to see a hard push to switch over, though I'm sure it'll come any day now.

Are you sure? I still don't have it (thankfully). I'm probably on the tail end of their rollout though. Might help that I hardly ever use Facebook anymore.

I've still seen some people who don't have Timeline yet. It is rare though.

I can't stand timeline. I find it really difficult to read them for some reason - probably something to do with having more than one column - and poor alignment - it's cognitively difficult.

I read an opinion piece that said is was deliberately confusing... an attempt to trick you into clicking on ads.

I've seen several feeds that are still on the old layout. Not sure how that's possible, I don't think a plugin can do it.

AFAIK, it was opt-in. I'm sure they (like me) just never enabled it.

Echoing the above, I don't have timeline yet either. Does it have something to do with the age of the account, I wonder? I've been on FB since sometime in 2006.

I don't think that's true - I don't have it.

Another Timeline refusenik here.
They keep laying little tripwires all over the place, trying to trick you into accepting Timeline, but if you are careful you can avoid them.

Nope, don't have timeline yet. I refuse, lol.
On a side note, I didn't do anything to keep the old display style, I just didn't manually switch myself to the new timeline, and they never auto adopted me over.
