Facebook, the biggest social network site updated many features like video call and now it changed its chat features as Sidebar chat, but its really annoying the users. We can’t see who are online, it will just show our few friends who are we interact most, it will be most irritating one for who have more number of friends. Its really simple script you have to install in your Browser to get your Old Facebook chat. Lets see how to get back our Favorite Facebook chat.

Now, that’s something that I could use. Thanks for sharing it, 😀
Nick July 22, 2011 at 3:41 am

This is fantastic, thanks so much for the heads up! Makes the chat feature bearable.. I’ve really no idea why they would take away such basic features as creating your own list of contacts, and having no separation of online / offline contacts. It’s lunacy, making ridiculous changes to a fairly solid chat system just for the sake of it!

Maria July 22, 2011 at 1:58 pm

  You can see AVAILABLE TO CHAT in the settings of the chat.. Then you will be online. again

        Then Go to Settings -> Tools -> Extensions.
        Check ‘Facebook Sidebar chat Revision’ is Enabled. And Try loading the Facebook.

hello bro, i’ve installed the old fb chat box, it’s working.
but the problem is,when i log out and log in again, i can’t open the chat box even though i try many times, help me to solve this problem pls. 🙂
1. Vincent Raja August 7, 2011 at 2:09 pm
  
  Reinstall the script. and restart the browser
Anna August 7, 2011 at 8:32 pm

I installed it and it works as you said but it shows in the top upper left rather than side right like the old chat. Any idea? This is how the new facebook chat looked before too, but it didn’t show my contacts like this script does.
1. Anna August 7, 2011 at 8:33 pm
  
  When I say top upper left I mean it’s above even the facebook header with a bunch of blank white space to the right, then regular facebook beneath. Again, this is how my chat was before. I’m on Google Chrome.
2. Vincent Raja August 7, 2011 at 11:03 pm
  
  Try clearing the cache
Chris August 7, 2011 at 9:48 pm

Lily August 26, 2011 at 8:33 pm

After I installed it everything was perfect for around a month, but now it says “Loading” when ever i open chat, and never loads. Usually it would take around 15 seconds, now it literally never loads.
How do you uninstall it?
1. Vincent Raja August 27, 2011 at 10:04 am
  
  Go to Settings -> Tools -> Extension you can remove from there…
Lily August 26, 2011 at 9:05 pm

I installed the chat and i worked perfectly for around a month, but in the past few days it would say “Loading” when it was loading all my facebook friends, but it would never load. It tells me how many people are online just not who actually is.
How do you uninstall it from google chrome?
