But, from your response in the Facebook Connect FAQ thread...
I thought you weren't having any problems.

Is one of my suggestions not working for you anymore?

here's one of the links that i'm getting for my "spurious history" (which just stated appearing today):

http://mc8tdi0ripmbpds25eboaupdulrit...ken=1934965686 (copy and paste the link into a text editor or word to see it in its entirety and it looks like it's f/b-f/t related as i see ""friendconnect" in it)

and this is what i get if i access that page:

personal laptop at home using my own network with my firewall enabled and no issues prior to this morning

No working fine! Apologies if not clear. Originally using ....... myself I got rid of the button only. The line on which it appeared narrowed slightly but was still there. Your first suggesting got "rid of the whole thing", ie that facebook line. Your second suggestion got rid of all the flyertalk branding stuff at the top of the page - just as you said.

Thanks again.

"spurious" history fixed? nice ^

yup, appears to be fixed ^

Did this workaround get rolled out? If so, I'm afraid it hasn't worked.

+1.

It took me close to 20 minutes to load this thread, see that there was no update, click to respond, and to post this response.

And for now I'm naively looking past the good point made above that my firm's IT logs probably show that I'm trying to access Facebook repeatedly when I'm opening these pages.

Please offer an option to disable the Facebook call.

Actually, that's a fair point. Initially my opposition was on the grounds that this slowed my browsing experience down. The consequence that everytime I move to another page on FT was logging an attempted access to Facebook had passed me by. And it's not a consequence I'm particularly pleased about.

Oh well, no more FT from the office until this mess is fixed. :( :td:

Unfortunately, our work around didn't jive with FB. We'll have the ability to disable the FB script here at some point.

:confused: What kind of "user enhancement" is this that you have to run what you do here by facebook?

I'm sure that some money changed hands.

Every site that uses Facebook connect loads a javascript from Facebook's servers. This javascript is created dynamically by Facebook, and is not a static file.

Since people are having a problem with corporate firewalls, we created a Flyertalk cname for the sub-domain that the script loads from. Unfortunately, when Facebook's servers build that dynamic script, they look at the requested URI, and if they don't recognize it, the script errors out.

We don't run anything by Facebook. When I tried calling Mark Zuckerberg it went straight to voicemail.

This is 100% false.

Just wanted to add weight to the "ever since fb it is taking ages to load" discussion.

Did you disable the Facebook Connect feature at the bottom of your "Edit Options" screen?

I didn't because it says "Hide it from the forum bar" (or summat similar) not "Click here to disable it". I have now clicked it. Ta.
