A few weeks ago we upgraded our forum to VB 4.04 from 3.5. I was pretty happy to see the new options of integrating with FB, and the like button etc.

But I'm noticing that when you press the like button, it posts to the wall and all of that works. The button will change to saying 'you liked this', but as soon as you close you're browser. Then reopen it, the like button goes back to saying 'be the first to like this'

It's like it's not recording the hits? I go into the developers area in FB, and look at my app and it shows nothing?

Is this a problem with FB, or VB? Does anyone else have this problem, I would really like that to work but not sure what's going on. Since everything throughout the process seems to work. It just doesn't seem to be storing who likes the threads.

Say you clicked Like, then go to your FB profile page, do you see the item you click Like! about ?

If yes, it isn't VB or FB problem, It's simply a cookie :P

vB try to check if you're Logged in to facebook + if you liked the item using an FB script integrated into your VB, this is based on your cookies, if cookie showed that you're logged in && cookie==$Like :P = You liked this! if browser_eat==cookie echo=Be the first to Like this!

loool but seriously, go check your facebook profile page if you see that you liked that Item, then nothing wrong with your vB or Facebook.

Ya it posts the link on my wall, so I think it's working. It's odd though, because I don't seem to have this problem with other websites. I can go back, and it still shows me as clicking the like button.

This is still bothering me, shouldn't I be able to see a count of others who have 'liked' a thread? I don't get why every other site, the buttons seem to remember but on mine it doesn't.
