I have spent several hours trying to make this work.  So far, I haven't had any luck.  Hopefully, someone will be able to help me out.

On my Facebook page, "The Birth of Poteau", I have set up different 'welcome' tabs by using Static XFBML.  Since Facebook discussions are going away, I wanted to create a better way to share information other than posting it on my wall.  I have tried to set up fBulletin to do that, however, the application is not working correctly.

The issues:
   First, when the forum is set up as normal, not using the Static XFBML application, it took users to a page with multiple flags.  I tried to set it up to where it would go directly to the forum that I created, but could never get that to work right.

   Second, In order to bypass that, I figured that I could put a direct link to the forum in one of the Static XFBML tabs.  These tabs allow for regular HTML, CSS, Java, etc., so I didn't figure it would be a problem.  However, after the user clicks on the link to go to that page, they are redirected to a different page that only contains a Facebook "box", if that makes any sense.

   Third, Since the above didn't work, I tried using Javascript in order to directly send the user to the forum.  The code is as follows:

<script type="text/javascript">
top.window.location = "http://apps.facebook.com/fbulletin/poteau/";
</script>

This code should automatically redirect the user to the forum without having them click any links.  (Once they click the "Forum" tab, then this should happen)  However, again, it either hangs, or on the rare chance that it does go through, the user is once again redirected to the page with the flags.


Essentially, I'm looking for an easy and direct method to send my users to the forum that I created.  If possible, I would like to have the forum located on the page as well (with the profile banner and links on the left side).

Any help you could provide with this would be greatly appreciated.
