   Is it supposed to show a number if I have unread friend activity? Because it’s not showing and I would want to see it

   By the way, I like that it uses FB connect, the other FB extensions keep logging out after a while.

   Komesanos, we’re working on an update to fix the badge counters as well as add in notifications list and count.

   I’d like support for Ã… Ã¥, Ä ä and Ö ö. If I use any of them, I can’t update my FB status!

   Stefan, we looked into a way to do this. Unfortunately what we turned up was that we can send in the characters to Facebook correctly encoded. However, Facebook isn’t decoding them properly so that they get posted to everyone as gibberish.

   Not sure if this is an intentional bug or if FB never thought about how to post special characters in their commands. The problem exists for all developers though. If they ever fix it, we’ll fix our extension soon after.

   This extension is not working on my chrome.
   It gives the following error
   Forbidden

   You don’t have permission to access /Gadgets/Core/FB/FB_Storage_Chrome.php on this server.

   Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

   chaitanya, we did a server migration over the weekend and the connect scripts were down, but they should be working now. Try refreshing the page a couple times if it’s cached.
