Unable to login homepage via Facebook

Thanks 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!!!

Hmmmm, so far no joy for me. But I'm going to try it from another machine a bit later and see what happens.

OK, 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.

Progress 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!!

[patndoris]

Am still trying to see if I can get this to publish to FB - has not worked so far.

[patndoris]

Maybe FB just doesn't like me!!

Thanks for testing this, folks! I don't use FB myself, but I know there are about 175 million who do, and making it easy for them to join the conversation at BigBlueBall is bound to be a good thing.

We WILL get the bugs worked out, I promise!

Ok, I've done a little more testing. I've attached a snapshot of my Facebook notifications screen. Take a look and you will see something weird. Some of the notifications say: "patndoris has replied to thread..." and others say "Doris Kenney has replied to thread..."

The ones that say patndoris are hyperlinked to your profile: BigBlueBall Forums - View Profile: patndoris

The ones that say Doris Kenney are not hyperlinked to anything.

The one that says Mark Andrews (Yahooligan?) are hyperlinked to his Facebook page.

The other ones (fanatic, philip, dr kimble) are hyperlinked to their bigblueball profiles.

So what does this mean?

To me, it seems like the facebook integration is working for Mark (yahooligan). It seems like it's partially sorta kinda working for Doris Kenney, tho I'm not sure why her name is not linked to her profile (maybe a privacy setting?). And it seems like philip, fanatic, and dr kimble aren't using FB connect at all, but just using the regular forum sign-in.

And so....... what does this mean?

I *think* it means that it's working, sorta, tho not for everyone. Maybe we need to get a few more people to test it and see what happens for them?

[Yahooligan]

I don't know if this helps, but my notifications screen looks completely different from yours.... see attached.

It seems to be working, but why does it look so different? I'm not receiving any notifications? Just sending them? Hrmmmm...

[patndoris]

I just logged out and back in using the FB connect button. I'm crossing fingers I'll get something - even showing as sent. I couldn't find anywhere on FB where permissions would have been blocking stuff - but they've got so many settings it's hard to find them all.

Edit: w00t! I got the email notification and the send showed up straight away! It's down to receiving notifications now. I don't have a single one of those yet
