dwydav Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Righto, trying to add a facebook link to thingy to my profile, and it says that the board needs the whole http://www.facebook.com/user.php/ addy for it to work. I've been messing about with it for about 10 minutes just trying different things, and it occurred to me that it may not be working since Facebook added the use of Usernames (like myspace) so yeah... If it's just me being silly, let me know, otherwise I think there may be a glitch! Cheeears! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwydav Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hmm wasn't very clear in that at all. Meant to say that perhaps since the inclusion of 'username URLS" in facebook, that Facebook have changed the way their pages are displayed and thus I can't get the required form of address that the board needs to link the little facebook icon to my facebook page? clearer?

Zaphod Chizzlebrox Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Facebook url format should be http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id= and then a number. Go to your homepage and click on profile at the top. Where you see a long number, crop that and add it to the url above. eg. in my case the url is http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=66670907 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 i wrote a patch for it, will accept quite a few of the vanity urls, not the most efficient system because facebook urls are a pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
