According to Facebook, "Timeline is your collections of the photos, posts and experiences that help tell your story". Timeline was made available to all Facebook users on December 15th. To Mafia Wars players, it has proven to be a pain in the ass. Nobody likes change. For now Timeline is optional and there hasn't been anything official from Facebook to indicated whether or not it will be mandatory. To learn all the details about Timeline, go to the Facebook Help Center Timeline Page.
If you like what you see and want to sign up for Timeline, go here. Look for the "Get Timeline" button located in the bottom right corner of the page. Once you upgrade, you’ll have 7 days to preview your timeline before other people can see it. After 7 days, your timeline will be published automatically. If you don't sign up for it, you don't have to worry about it unless Facebook makes it mandatory and converts all profile pages.

Thanks for this info as I have posted it to my wall! Don't know if you hear from people enough but please let me thank you for all the help and time you take to make MW a bit more enjoyable
ReplyDeletei have allowed my games to post on my timeline too, however NOT EVERY one posts , so far i have to keep going back to to click the feature on timeline one to get everything i want on my timeline there - bit time consuming
ReplyDeleteShown on timeline ;)
ReplyDeleteonce you have timeline, can you revert back to previous facebook webpage
ReplyDeleteTY JENN :-) AS ALWAYS YOU ARE RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT TO HELP AND SHARE ALL NEW STUFF.....
ReplyDeletethe problem is they are grouping posts from several weeks in one scrollable post. they are on most peoples timelines, they just doen't look close enough to find them. my friend thought her's weren't posting when i found the grouping on her wall for her. that is why they say to clear out all your old posts b4 u start timeline. this site might help. http://facecrooks.com/Internet-Safety-Privacy/6-things-you-need-to-do-right-now-to-prepare-for-the-new-facebook-timeline.html
ReplyDeleteI have found selecting " feature on timeline " makes the post more prominent and easily found.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, just selecting "allow on timeline" doesn't fix the problem - as a previous poster said, the most most recent 100 posts are grouped and sorted on the timeline to the time of the oldest of those 100 posts.
ReplyDeleteWhile "Feature on Timeline" is an option, there's no way to make it a default - it can only be done after a message is posted.
The easiest way I've found thus far is to add text to the "Say something about this" box when posting. I've been successful using a little as a period to prevent the posts from being grouped. However, this also does require removal of the "Post to Facebook as me" permission from Mafia Wars so that you can see and add text to the post before it's posted.
You can also make Mafia Wars posts available only to your mafia, if you were smart and categorized everyone.
ReplyDeleteI have tried above to have my posts showed on timeline by clicking allow on timeline but it does not work! Nothing that I do helps me to get my mafia wars post to appear on my wall! Anyone else have this problem?
ReplyDelete@t-dawg ) I have all my MW players in a category (or list) and i have granted permission to see all post, unfortunately they don't show up and the only way form me to appear is featuring them as well. I will try by removing "post to facebook" option.
ReplyDeletei put a full stop on every post i make, i had to remove zynga's permission to post as me to be able to do this, so you keep getting the nag requester from them, also im unable to see anybodys posts for help/jobs or anything coming down my feed :(
ReplyDeletethis is very helpfull. thankyou . as usual you got the top position among Mafia info.:)
ReplyDeletewhy does it not show up in games ? its in a box by its self
ReplyDeleteTime line is just crap, me and a couple of other players started a group against forcing it on us. It is simple Time-line can be nice but should not be forced on us. The group name is: http://www.facebook.com/groups/220884717987786/
ReplyDeletei try everything and still dont see any of mine or friends game posts on my timeline or any of my posts in my home wall .. plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz someone help me ty .
ReplyDeleteDosent work, dont get any of my mw postings to my wall. Only by clicking Show on Timeline after every post. It sucks.
ReplyDeleteIM still not getting my post even after trying everything mentioned in post and comments seems some do post days afterwards but not in a timely manner. So screw it TIMELINE sucks plain and simple and should NOT have been force fed to us.
ReplyDeleteIs there a program that allows for removal of old posts with one click
ReplyDeleteIn the latest version of MWs Addon v0.7.80 There is Wall Cleaner, it works well and has a "remove all visible" button and a pop up calendar to set the date to remove up to.
