Can't share a game to facebook

Avatar of catholicbatman

Hi-

Whenever I try to share a game through the "share this game" facebook icon, which used to work for me, I now cannot do it. I have two guesses why it does not work but I'm not sure. One, it may be that because I switched over to a secure (https) facebook it doesn't work. Or two, it just doesn't work for another reason haha.


If anyone has any information about this that can help I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I too cannot share games. I get a pop up with some loading bars but even after an hour nothing changes.

Same here. I get the loading screen but it never works.

Sorry about this. I'll investigate and get it fixed.

 

Can you all tell me which browser and version you're using please? I just tried Firefox 4 and it worked on there.

Which ones are you using?

Avatar of darkleaf

I have tried firefox, chrome and IE (all the latest versions) no luck with any of them.

Can you check your FaceBook "security" setting -- if you are browsing FaceBook under HTTPS and try to share a Chess.com game under HTTP, facebook javascript won't like it and will refuse to let you share the game.

Can you check your facebook settings for me please?

I do not have "secure browsing (https)" enabled, and never have.

I should also mention that I have tried this on 3 different computers each on a different ISP.

k, thanks. I've just tested on Chrome and having the same problem you are. Odd that it worked on FF4, but not chrome.

I'll try get this issue fixed for you now.

Sorry :(

Awesome, thanks!

I was just able to make it work. It seems that it wont work if I am already logged in to facebook. If I am logged out of facebook and try to share a game it will give me the login screen and then it works.

I too use chrome - will try the logging out to see if it works.
