There’s a little hysteria starting out there as more and more people hear about Facebook Page Tabs becoming narrow. For more info see: Narrow Tab width will also bring in your avatar!
Here’s how to see if there is cause for concern.
First of all, you MUST be an admin of your page and logged in to Facebook. Now go to that page and look at the custom tab(s) you have. The tab will render somewhat (520 pixel width canvas) as it will after the big change. Only you (the admin) can see it in this way and everyone else will still be seeing the full 760 pixel width version.
So, how’s it look? In the case of your needing adjustment you’ll find the far right side, (around 250 pixels worth) missing. How big is 250 pixels?
Exactly this big 
However, if everything looks ok, you have nothing to worry about. When the change happens you’ll still look FAB!
Confused? Here’s 2 tabs from a client of mine. The first one looks great. You can see the entire width of the header image.
Not so great with this tab…
If you need help fixing your now too wide tabs I’m available, just drop me a line.
BTW: If you have a tab that is created by an application (example: The Real Estate Tab from Roost) it’s going to be different. For right now it will show to you as being too wide.
The application styled tabs are managed and created by the application developers which means there’s not much you can do to fix it. In the case of Roost, they are on the ball and tell me that rest assured, when the change happens all the Roost Tabs will look great!
