Looks like it only works if you are already doing the timeline set-up, but it's easy to add.

I dislike the timeline though and have not switched over or forced yet. Wish there was a box to check that states received an organ(s) tho. Other thing is how does ths effect privacy settings since fb likes to mess with that a lot!

I LOVE the Timeline ... Plus I've never had a problem with privacy (although I do go out of my way to check my settings about once a month; it takes about two seconds and I've never had Fb unknowingly state my everything to the world.) I did dislike the Timeline when it first came out, but now I've had it a couple of months I've grown quite fond of it.  By the time they force it upon you, it'll be time for them to roll something else out which is double annoying!

 ;D

They have the same options to limit who can view your donor status as they do with the rest of your posts, so you just have to select it when you add it to your events timeline.

I haven't switched over yet either.  I haven't been on it long enough or posted often enough to get them to encourage me to do it.  I'm just not that active on it.

For me it is hard to find things on the timeline. To me it is confusing when there are post on each side of the screen, not to mention the big picture at the top of the screen throwin my eyesight off.
 
It is great that there is an impact so soon and hope people do not change their minds later on.
