    We've got some code that tries to load some sort of Facebook integration on every page and fails. Anyone know what that's about?

    I vaguely recall a feature we elected not to use back when switched to Xenforo.
    @John?

    Yeah, the decision was, when Xenforo was chosen, not to integrate Facebook into the site. Of course, Xenforo is made to be integrated with Facebook, so we get the software attempting to integrate it anyway with no success.

    Unless we can limit the integration to the fb group, I don't think we should integrate. (@Ancalagon, was it you or Muad that had initial objections?)

    @shootER @Dr. Krieg your thoughts?

    I don't want to tie WF to Facebook.

    Neither do I, but there's some Facebook integration that's failing, and annoyingly trying to load a Flash object at the bottom of every page, which subsequently disappears when the FB callback fails. From the sound of it, seems harmless enough to leave as-is though. /thread

    Probably explains why WF is so slow to load for me at work, where I'm dealing with a kludged-up emasculated three-versions-behind install of Firefox, as opposed to at home where I have a current version of Safari configured the way I need it to be.
