Facebook chat workaround

I guess, by now, many of you (facebook users) are annoyed with the new look and functionality of the Facebook’s chatbox. I didn’t get FB’s point either on mixing your online and offline friends all together without a scroll bar functionality. How in the internet did that make it easier for the users compared to the old chatbox style? But, still, I may have no idea on what Facebook is upto right now.

 And because of that, here’s a suggested workaround I’m sharing. This is best for users having dual monitor setup. If you’re wanting to have the scroll bar functionality back then open another browser tab and go to this link: https://www.facebook.com/presence/popout.php

And your done!

Oooopss… some of you might still be annoyed because your chatbox is in a different tab, ey? You don’t have dual monitors? Worry no more… here’s my workaround for this:

What you can do is simply install a split screen plugin/extension application for your preferred browser.  As a sample there’s an extension for Firefox browsers called Split Panel. It’s very simple to setup and use. Now for the positioning, split your browser screen into two, (left and right. Open your normal facebook page on the left part and then open the chat workaround link (above) in the left side part. See screenshot below:

And your done!

Enjoy!
