Following months of delays, Facebook has finalised the date for its removal of application boxes on profiles and the reduction in tabbed application widths on Pages. The tabs will be reduced to 520px in width (there won’t be a limit on height).
This will start to happen from August 23rd, according to a blog post from Facebook:
Boxes. We will notify users via messaging in profile boxes and in the Help Center that the “Boxes” tab, boxes on profiles and Pages, and application info sections will be going away.
Application Tabs. Next week, we will give Page admins the ability to preview their custom tabs in the new 520 pixel width so they can modify their layouts as needed. All profile and Page tabs will be resized automatically beginning the week of August 23.
This is important for any developers and marketers who are creating or updating applications and landing pages, in they need to make sure they are designing products to fit with the changes.
