I have heard rumors that Facebook will delete applications lie this from running in July when they switch everything over to https. Is this true? Are you going to be switching this app over to user secure urls?

Never heard of that. However, if it is necessary we can use secure URLs.

Well I would have a look into this further if I were you. As it currently stands those who use secure browsing on Facebook (which is becoming more and more popular as time goes on) cannot access these forums without having to turn secure browsing off. This causes a problem because it now limits the people who will join these forums - not everyone is willing to turn off secure browsing to use these forums.

It may be smartest to change over to secure browsing now before it becomes more of a problem. I know if things do change over soon and for some reason everyones loses their forums you will end up with a lot of unhappy people.

Just a thought.

I think it's a great app but would hate to see it all go to waste.

Good point. We will add SSL option soon. Thanks for the suggestion.
