hello,

its great that you added the ability to have more than 1 forum but im having trouble with it.

i have set 3 forums in my admin ( http://apps.facebook.com/fbulletin/admin/ )

but when i go to my facebook page and click the forum tab it still only show 1 forum, the first 1 i created.

if i then click forum directory and polish (because i created 1 in polish) my polish forum is not there either ???

i noticed that each forum has its own id and i could create an app for each which would put a tab for each of my forum in my navigation but..

is there another way ? is there a  "add forum to page" link for each of my forums or could there be a main forum with a drop down list of my other forums?

thanks
rick



keep up the good work

You are correct, you can add only one forum to your page.
However, you can add all of them using a tab application. So, it will be better and more useful.
Here is a tab app we use at:  http://www.facebook.com/forum5
You can use it to add a tab containing all of your forums http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=190322544333196

Hello,

i have tried setting it up but there is one more issue that i would like to solve.

i have set my test forums up at:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/European-Bartender-School/210743702279221?sk=app_190322544333196

in the left nav you will see 3. 1 englih, 1 sweden and 1 finland.

if you click the enlish 1 it displays fine

but if you click on any of the other 2 it doesn't display in my fan page. it gets re-directed to else where.

this is the code i put in my iframe - using the app you mentioned
(http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=190322544333196)

http-equiv='Refresh'
                content='0; url=http://apps.facebook.com/facebook_forums/danish'

This code should not work.

You could copy and paste html codes of static home pages of your forums to your tabs.

As you mentioned, there were problems regarding multiple forum tabs.
We added a feature. You can add your second and third forums easily to your page as a tab.
You dont need to use a tab app anymore. Forum is enough.

Second forum tab: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=202138789830825
Third forum tab: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=221526711205916

Steps are the same. First click "add to my page" below and follow the instruction.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
