I get this error when trying to ‘Connect with Facebook’
March 1, 2009 at 6:50 pm #173427FanaticMemberFIXED. Thanks for pointing this out, detn8r. *reps up*
March 7, 2009 at 4:37 pm #173431YahooliganMemberI logged on with my account, I think. When I clicked the Connect with Facebook button, it saw that I was already signed into FB, then asked me whether I wanted to create a nickname for the forums, or use an existing forum account. I clicked existing, then it asked me for my forum login info. I entered that, and now here I am. How do I know if it’s “working?” Is there supposed to be any difference?
March 7, 2009 at 5:36 pm #173453Graham CoatsMemberIt’s detn8r — testing it out with my Facebook account.

If it’s working properly, you should see new activity on any thread you start or reply to. It will show up in your Facebook notifications.
Just for grins, I created an album here with a couple screenshots. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
March 7, 2009 at 5:40 pm #173439Doris KenneyParticipantThe Forum FB login is not yet working correctly. There were some tweaks to it, but the results are still the same. It does not seem to finish the association to an existing BBB account. (I’ve tried it several times in the last couple days but no joy yet.)
It is being looked into and hopefully will be working soon.
March 7, 2009 at 5:43 pm #173432YahooliganMemberAh, thanks patndoris. That explains why I’m not getting any notifications like that. So right now, my accounts are not yet hooked together. I’m just signed in here like I always have done, right?
March 7, 2009 at 5:57 pm #173440Doris KenneyParticipantYup! You are correct in the forums – you are just logged in like usual.
The Home page Facebook login does work with your Facebook account, but it is not associated with the forum login, and it will not tie the two together.
March 7, 2009 at 7:05 pm #173433YahooliganMemberMore bugs, sorta.
I checked out the “Connect with Facebook” on the homepage and it’s working great. I’ve attached a copy of the login that I got.
I also left a comment on the front page story about the new design, and got asked if I wanted to publish my comment to Facebook. A nice touch. I attached a screenshot of that.
I also attached a screenshot of the login screen I get when I use Connect with Facebook on the forums. You can compare that with the one for the homepage. They are almost the same, but he forum one is missing the “Connect” and “Cancel” buttons.
I figure this is probably all related to the problems you’re already aware of connecting via FB in the forums, but just in case, I thought I would report them. Maybe it will help?
March 12, 2009 at 5:15 am #173450Joe BallMemberI noticed the facebook button disappeared for a few days and then came back tonight. I tried it out, and the problem yahooligan saw with the connect/cancel buttons hidden seems to be gone!
Hurray!!!
March 12, 2009 at 5:46 am #173434YahooliganMemberThanks for the update, Joe! I’m trying to connect with Facebook here in the forums again. I’ll let you know if the notifications reach me on Facebook.
EDIT: It’s working! I’m getting notifications of replies to this thread on Facebook!!!
March 12, 2009 at 11:25 am #173441Doris KenneyParticipantHmmmm, so far no joy for me. But I’m going to try it from another machine a bit later and see what happens.
March 12, 2009 at 1:23 pm #173442Doris KenneyParticipantOK, went to FB and tried to made sure all permissions are ok there. The BBB Forums are there now and have permission to post to my page.
I still get the prompt for existing user name and password when I login to the forums tho – every time. I even clicked the link to allow the email thru FB hoping it would link them happily but I’m not sure it did.
I guess I’ll know sometime after this post if it worked – or not.
March 12, 2009 at 1:30 pm #173443Doris KenneyParticipantProgress is slow at times. After the FB login, when it wants a username I clicked login with the fields being blank and I got the box to allow the connect to FB.
After allowing it, it took me back to user name and I’ve chosen use existing. Now let’s see if I can get a darn notification to post on FB!!
March 12, 2009 at 11:12 pm #173444Doris KenneyParticipantAm still trying to see if I can get this to publish to FB – has not worked so far.
