As is stated, it will still work. However the best option is to have a FB page with a business page attached to it. Then you can FB your articles as you create them as well. Make the majority of FB open to the public for view.

Is there a guide floating around here for Facebook? I'm a social/FB newbie and this is all alien to me. My forum isn't really a business, I'm not sure if that matters though.

There may be a few that could really tell you step by step, but that may be difficult as well. Most of it is pretty self explanatory but FB is constantly changing. I'm new to it as well. I''ve searched for how to do's for facebook and the site has changed again.

Basically keep your personal site simple and open for public view. You will need to get an application for VBulletin that will give you your FB key. After that I would still make a social page about what you do on your forum. There will be a link from your personal page to the new page you created. That is a good place to also post announcements, specials, offers etc..

Just jump in head first and and doggy paddle until you get a feel for it. You wl be asked to create friends and get your page looking nice. I would try to keep content limited. Post articles from your forum as well as posts. As you increase your online friends they are given updates every few days.

Good luck!

Wow, you typed all that from your phone?!

I created a FB Fan page (I think it's called) for my personal travel blog. I guess I'd do the same thing for the Ski forum too. I don't have any articles, the site is just a forum. I haven't even launched it publicly yet. Still testing plugins and getting everything squared away.

Yeah, when I'm at work a phone is all have! The typing isn't that difficult plus I have auto text where it guesses the word for me. Even with just a forum, you can recommend certain threads that may be a good read for people interested in skiing! I'm an armature but love to ski. I can name some bad places (for beginners) and a couple of great places. The most fun I had was in Taos NM. Not Angle Fire, that's beginners, but the Outback in Taos was for an armature very difficult. Greens are blues, blues are blacks, and blacks were yellow! The yellows were crazy! Think they spent more time in the air then on the snow!!

Small world, I was just down in Taos and did ziplining at Angel Fire a few weeks ago :) I'm just north in Denver.

There's a recommend button for FB, should I be using that or the Like button? I've only ever seen Like so that's what I've got it set to now.

I haven't ever done any zip lining. Looks like fun if you are high enough to really scare the crap out of you!

I just use this mod and I also use another mod that I like. I use both in case someone doesn't see the one on top, I also have one on the side of the page. I also use the vB facebook for people to connect. I don't need anything else!

There is something weird about this plugin... It doesn't show facebook like stuff...

here is my link: www.forexmegacashback.com/en

possibly there is something wrong somewhere...

any idea??

Edit: after several tries, I could manage to make it work... I still don't know why it didn't work before though...

How do I get the settings page to show styles I enabled after installing this mod?

using vb4.2 and used this plugin and now facebook one isnt showing
