Oh on older versions of vBulletin (4.1.1 and below) the Facebook Button Code loads asynchronously because it's supplied by this mod.

However in 4.1.2 and above vBulletin itself supplies the code and it's not technically asynchronous, HOWEVER it loads at the very bottom of the page so the result is virtually the same as asynchronous loading.

I strongly urge everyone to vote this issue in the tracker to ask vBulletin convert it to completely asynchronous code: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/...story-tabpanel


If You absolutely must have asynchronous loading on Facebook in 4.1.2 and above you can manually edit your facebook_footer template.

Erase it all and replace it with:

<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/vbulletin_facebook.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>
<div id="fb-root"></div>	
		<script type="text/javascript"> 
			window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
				FB.init({appId: '{vb:raw vboptions.facebookappid}', status: true, cookie: true,xfbml: true});
				FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function(url) {
				  _gaq.push(['_trackSocial', 'facebook', 'like', url]);
				});
				FB.Event.subscribe('edge.remove', function(url) {
				  _gaq.push(['_trackSocial', 'facebook', 'unlike', url]);
				});
			};
			(function() {
				var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true;
				e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
				document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
			}());
		</script> 

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(
	function()
	{
		vBfb = new vB_Facebook({
			appid : "{vb:raw vboptions.facebookappid}",
			connected : {vb:raw connected},
			active : {vb:raw active},
			autoreg : {vb:raw vboptions.facebookautoregister},
			feed_newthread : {vb:raw vboptions.fbfeednewthread},
			feed_postreply : {vb:raw vboptions.fbfeedpostreply},
			feed_blogentry : {vb:raw vboptions.fbfeedblogentry},
			feed_blogcomment : {vb:raw vboptions.fbfeedblogcomment},
			feed_newarticle : {vb:raw vboptions.fbfeednewarticle},
			feed_articlecomment : {vb:raw vboptions.fbfeedarticlecomment}
		});
	}
);
-->
</script>

EDIT - It appears sometime between 4.1.2 an 4.2.0 the default code is now asynchronous. I do not know when the change happened but I suggest you not make this change on a newer VB version (certainly not 4.2.0+)
