Share New Cards on Facebook
May 3^rd, 2010, 11:47am

Hi Everyone,

We've added a button to your Card Approval emails that will let you post your newly approved cards on Facebook.

Let us know if you come across any strange behavior when using this feature.

Some of you may have noticed that the image doesn't always come up when you try to share on Facebook, if this happens please try again a few hours later and it should work

.

Shaun

Did it show the correct image at the time that you posted the card? There was some discussion about that here:

This is great! I found that while trying to share a specific card on facebook (i clicked on the card which took me to the page to order that specific card) i still needed to scroll through several images on the share page until my image showed twice. This allowed me to share that exact image. I haven't used the "aproved card" share feature (still waiting for my latest to be aproved {I'm so impaitent!}) but i hope this helps if anyone is having trouble.

I tried it several times, but it never worked. Perhaps the button just was not live yet? And perhaps it will work now...

Try cycling through the images and then back around to the first one/right one. That worked once for me.

Shaun,
I've yet to have the Share link work on FB for our newly approved cards. Also, I could not Log in so that I could post here on the Forum, all morning. But, I noticed that other folks are posting, so I just closed out Firefox and tried IE and came on... No Problem. So the problem seems to be with Firefox, where evertime I tried to Log-on from the forum, it only took me to the Administrative Page.
However, I also tried the FB Share again with IE and still no go. Here is what comes up in place of the card image: (No Title)
%3Ctd%3E%3Cfont+face%3Darial+style%3D%27...
Thanks for your time and trouble.

I had the "Log into the Forum" not working right happen to me today too.. 1st time ever. I finally signed out of the general site all together and then re-signed in a minute later and it allowed me to reply in the forum (even though I was not required to sign in a 2nd time into the forum which is also unusual) But I never left Firefox. Must be a site glitch here with that one.. Huh
