No kidding...... (& then you get all the "search Nazi's" telling you to go search for your answer)

I've seen worse search features on other forums. Thing is if there is a question that has been asked several times, you should be able to find it with the search function, thus getting you an immediate answer as well as not creating a redundant thread. On the other hand, repeated questions keep this section going. It gives members an opportunity to help someone out and get their rep up instead of lurkers who get their info and leave.

Another thing considered bad forum is going way off the original topic, which is supposed to be the facebook app. If there are features missing that you'd like, try telling the developer so that the next version will have them. That way your complaints can be productive.

@thestick00
Sense 2.5 has the option to link contacts to their facebook page. This will change their contact photo to their default facebook pic.

The only complaint I have about the dam thing is the whole part where it says "Logging in...." for a long long time.

Does that happen to anyone else???

Yes, this is why people are leaving it in droves. Since WM7 looks like a Iphone clone, I'll pass.

MS screwed up when they thought that their way of wrong and Iphones was right. Android proves people can have some control over their devices yet, they still are plenty functional.

Just to name a few things (I know there are more):

- You cannot tag people (you can on Blackberry, maybe others)
- You cannot write a caption AT ALL for photos (you can on Blackberry, maybe others)
- You cannot view individually posted pics. You are taken to the entire album.
- When you want to make a comment on something or write on someones wall, if you flip out the hardware keyboard and switch to landscape mode, anything you type doesn't save (that's right, try it). You have to either do it and not save, then try again (in the same screen orientation), or you have to remain in the same screen orientation the entire time from opening to close.
- And for crying out loud, what is with "Button 1" and "Button 2"?? Did the developers really just give up and quit halfway??
- Just barely are we able to "like" posts.

That is just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more problems. So yes, the Facebook app for Windows Mobile is aweful. Still. and worse yet, I bet nobody using it expects any updates. We just use this because that's all we get, and we know it.

FB for WM =

Are you using the Facebook version from Microsfot Marketplace? It is the latest version and var more complete than the built-in one or the one you can download from Facebook.

- Still can't tag folks
- If you go to the Facebook Mobile site, you can find your user specific email address that you can send pictures and videos to. This will let you add a subject line that then becomes the uploads caption. Just create a new contact on your phone for the email address they give you.
- With the new version, you tap the image and you get a dialog to view photo and other stuff. Click view photo and you get to the single photo, but can browse teh album, or just click back softkey to go back to the main facebook app
- Sliding out the keyboard keeps the text, just tried it.
- All the button text as complete on my version
- You can view profiles, view and make comments, like posts all from the News and Status pages

wait a minute, this whole thread is devoted to how much worse microsoft apps are compared to apple and android, and then you complain about microsoft making their OS more restrictive so they can have higher quality apps instead of anyone being able to make them.

you can't have your cake and eat it too....

my main beef is on my main page, it will only display a few updates, and when i press older posts, i get maybe one or two...then after hitting older posts a couple of times, i get nothing...anyone else, or am i just the lucky one?

I've got no issues, unless the status updates are individually really long, i get about 10 updates on a refresh.

Upon further review I might have to change to 'dislike' because I do have some issues/questions with the current MS app:

1) When I decide to make a comment in response to a newsfeed that hit my wall, my reply never shows up. Even after refresh, my reply comments don't show up.

2) When I go into photos, it sometimes hangs & nevers returns any photos.

Are these things common issues with the latest MS version?
