Hi Crof, thanks for your report. We additionally released a new version of the composer for Beta users, which you can read more about over here: http://everything.typepad.com/blog/2010/07/beta-a-new-and-improved-compose-editor.html. The problem you cite has been addressed in a fix to be released soon, please let us know if your problems persist throughout the week and apologies for any inconvenience in the meantime.

Hi Fredric. We'll try and look into the problem. Can you provide more specification? Do you have a Pro account or a free account, and did you edit the old post via the dashboard (hitting the edit button) or in the full compose? Thanks for any information, and sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime.

Hi Candice. It looks like the only person you're following is the TypePad team. If you no longer want any updates from the TypePad team showing up in your dashboard's recent activity stream, simply go to the TypePad team's profile (http://profile.typepad.com/typepad) and hit "Unfollow" beneath the userpic. Unfollowing will make sure you won't receive any new updates, but the old updates will stay in your feed until it's pushed out by your activity. Hope that helps.

Hmm, strange. What browser are you using? Do you have any sidebar modules that you've added using Javascript? Any more details about your situation can help us locate the problem... thanks!

Hi there Jaya. Sorry this may be a bit confusion, but the Facebook "like" button for your blog that we offer via TypePad essentially removes the middleman of the old Facebook Fan Pages by subscribing fans to receive your post updates in their news streams, which directly link back to your blog. The new "page" created by this feature is invisible to everyone else but you, the administrator, so the idea is that your fans will always go to your blog instead of a Facebook page when updated about a new post. Unfortunately there is no current way to transfer any fans from an old facebook fan page to the new facebook 'like' pages. We're very interested in this feature as well, so we're doing our best to work with Facebook to see if they will implement this in the future. We'll be sure to let you know if and when that feature becomes available.

Hi there and sorry for the delay in responding. Unfortunately, half of the connection work for these features is based in Facebook, meaning that at the times when Facebook cannot connect the features are not able to function as well. The best advice I can give is to keep trying on the TypePad end or try using different browsers to set up the connection. Which browser are you currently using? Regarding your current Facebook Fan page versus the one created by adding Facebook like to your blog, this is the way that Facebook has developed the "like" button functionality. The 'page' that the "like" button would create is essentially invisible, the idea being that facebook readers 'like' your blog, subscribe to your post updates directly in their news streams, and then immediately go to your blog instead of stopping by your facebook page first. You can read more details about how it works on the KB articles (http://help.sixapart.com/tp/us/facebook_like_widget.html) I'm sorry to hear you're having such connection problems. Please let us know what your browser is as that may help point us in the right direction in finding the source to your problem.

Hey Ashley. If sharing to Facebook via the compose page isn't work, I suggest you visit your 'Other Accounts' page (https://www.typepad.com/secure/account/profile/accounts), delete your Facebook account and then add it again. Hope that helps!

The "Facebook Comment Syncing" setting is located under the comments tab. If you are using TypePad Connect Comments however you'll have to switch to TypePad Comments in order to have access to Facebook Comment Syncing. Hope that helps!

Hi Werner, I'm sorry to hear that you've been having difficulties using the new Facebook Features. Unfortunately sometimes the connected session with Facebook expires, thereby disconnecting any blogs you've had Facebook Like for the blog set up on. If you'd like to try it out again, I suggest disconnecting your blog from facebook then going to your other accounts and removing your facebook account. Once everything is disconnected, connect your facebook account and then connect your blog once again. Regarding Facebook comments, I just tested the feature out myself and it worked for me. At this point the only comments we can sync to and from Facebook are comments left by Facebook users who have 'liked' your blog, so any other user (non-facebook fan) who comments on TypePad will not have their comment synced. Furthermore, currently it takes around 15 minutes to sync any comments left on Facebook to TypePad, so it may just take a little while before comments actually appear. I hope that clarifies things and helps you. I'll also take a look into the slowdown and freezing you were experiencing and let you know if we have a resolution for that.

Hi there! I replied to Jeff's comment with some details regarding TypePad Connect and disabling it (long story short, it's fine to disable TypePad Connect comments and revert to TypePad's native comments). Please let me know if you have any additional questions, thanks!

Hi Jeff, sorry it took me so long to reply. TypePad Connect commenting is a beta commenting system in TypePad that at this point just enables the ability to reply to comments. Disabling TypePad Connect will revert your commenting system back to TypePad's native commenting systems won't cause you to lose comments on your blog (so no worries). At this point in time if you'd like to test out Facebook comment syncing, it would be best to disable TypePad Connect since we currently do not support FB syncing in TP connect. Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any other questions.

I've been following mbf for a while now, and he always posts really interesting content about videogames and gaming culture. His new blog, gamescenes helped me discover an artist who I promptly bought work from for my art collection! MBF - http://profile.typepad.com/manybits Gamescenes - http://www.gamescenes.org

Hi Kristin. Are you adding the button using TypePad or adding the code from Facebook manually (from the information page that you describe)? I'm also not sure what you're referring to as the generator. Let me know and I can hopefully help you out!

Hi Kevin. Are you referring to the Like button on the footer or the blog sidebar? Are you trying to add it to your blog using Facebook's code or our in-app integration flows? If your sidebar is 250px wide or more, the like button will automatically appear displaying the text + avatars, while if it's less than 250px wide it will revert to the button with the numbers only. If you are adding the like button to the post footer using TypePad it should only display as the button and the numbers.

Great to hear that it works now that you've removed the facebook fanpage widget. It's unfortunate that they don't work together... but thanks for helping us find a source to one of the problems!

Hi there. Sorry that we've upset you, it was certainly not our intention. Had you previously tried unfollowing the TypePad team but are still seeing *new* updates in your dashboard? If so, that sounds like a bug, and one we'd definitely like to resolve. When we initially prompted users to follow Everything TypePad (back in March) the intent was simply to provide an avenue to our users to be more easily notified about new features and TypePad updates. Obviously this turned out to be something that not everyone wanted, and is easily resolved by unfollowing the TypePad Team on the TypePad Team's profile http://profile.typepad.com/typepad. You'll still see old updates until they're pushed out by new ones, but that should stop any further TypePad updates from showing up in your stream. We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you.

Unfortunately there is no current way to transfer any fans from an old facebook fan page to the new facebook 'like' pages. We're very interested in this feature as well, so we're doing our best to work with Facebook to see if they will implement this in the future. We'll be sure to let you know if and when that feature becomes available.

Are you using Custom CSS or widgets in your sidebar that use Javascript? If so, they may be conflicting with the ability for the like button to show on your post footer. Let me know... but I'll still see if I can find more information.

Do you see the 'like' button widget on your blog? If so, you may have successfully added it, but if you or your fans are not seeing post updates in their news streams then there's a chance that it somehow lost it's connection with facebook. I would suggest going to the Sharing tab and hitting the 'disconnect' button, and then adding the button back again and testing. This happened to my blog, but after I disconnected and reconnected the posts were properly sent to facebook. Hope that helps!
