Flash Card Widgets are back!!!
Feb 12th, 2010, 11:51am
 
Thank you for your patience while we have not only repaired the Flash Card Widgets, but we also have enhanced them.  Cool
 
There are now two styles to choose from... They will load more quickly, and the scrolling of cards will impress your users no matter what internet browser they are using!  
 
If you had a flash widget on your blog or website before they went down, you will need to replace that old, broken code with the new HTML code that you can obtain from the Card Widget page of your account.
 
Enjoy!

Do you know why the Greeting Card Seller application on Facebook says "Unable to Connect"?

I am getting "unable to connect" also....that's only if I click where it says "Add this widget to your facebook profile"....you can still add the widget by adding the code yourself to FB but only works as flash or flash only style options not java.....FB doesn't allow java...

Hi Miles
 
I typed in the address "http://apps.facebook.com/gcu_widget/" and that also comes up unable to connect...are you sure this is the right address?
 
I can see the app. on my FB but still get that message when I click to it.

So there are now two conversations going on here.  The initial post and topic that this thread will remain focused on is the card selling widgets.  These are the HTML based widget found under the "Card Widget" link under the "Community" section of the "Administrative Settings" portion of your account.  They designed for you to be able to promote your card stores on your websites and blogs and have no relation to Facebook.
 
There is now a secondary conversation about the Facebook card widgets, which does not in any way relate to this particular topic. We are aware that these are not functioning properly, and now that we have fixed the Flash Card Widgets, we are going to be addressing this next issue.  There will be a separate thread related to the Facebook widgets when there is more information available regarding those.  
 
Again, with a celebratory WOOO HOOO, and a great big pat on the back to the Programmers, the Flash Card Widgets are working again!

Sorry for the confusion Miles....
 
I went to the card widget under community and because it had the link to face book under the "get HTML" tab I just assumed that was now working also Shocked....you can see how easy it was for me to come to that conclusion.  Cheesy
 
Anyway, adding the code will still get it on FB just the app. itself doesn't work....will wait it out till all figured on your side...not a big deal.
