   I love your FB explorer and I use it daily to check the updates.

   There is though one issue that I’d like to see fixed. Me and my wife are both using the same Windows account, thus we only have one desktop, but FB only support one account. The only way to get it working for both of us is to use new and old versions of FB Explorer. Any chance that you make FB Explorer support multiple accounts?

   Btw, does it work, if I go to C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets and copy-paste folder FbExplorer.gadget to FbExplorer2.gadget to folder?

   Hi Ergonpandilus, This is one of our most frequently requested items with the FBE gadget. Unfortunately, there is no way right now to have two instances of the gadget running with two separate logins. We plan on looking into this in a future update. However, if you use individual user accounts on the computer, it would allow you to run an individual FBE in each. Otherwise, you would have to log in and out each time. It will not work to use the FbExplorer2 idea you mention. I apologize for the inconvenience and hope we can address this sometime in the near future. Please let us know if you have any other thoughts or suggestions.

   Ok.

   But at least it now works perfectly with two accounts, when I have different versions of the softare (v1.05 and v1.07).

   Ergonpandilus, Glad to hear it’s working, though those versions are still reading the configuration info from the same XML file. What you’re seeing is more of a temporary instance of the gadgets on the sidebar.

   However, we’ll look into the account manager for the gadget in future updates.

   so the feed issue of 1.06 got fixed in .07, but the gadget is pulling in things from applications that I have blocked from my facebook pages. I dont want to know when there is a new icecream cone pillow for pillow fight or that all fences in farmtown are now blue! I just want my updates that Ive requested to show.

   another thing, I like the flyout that I can see the text better, could the pictures be a bit larger, and cou (wish the twitter gadget did that)ld there be next previous buttons on the flyout to go to the higher or lower post in line?

   thank you.

   SORRY, the last paragraph should read:

   Jared, we’re looking into adding in some additional stream options for the friend activity. Unfortunately, Facebook doesn’t set the appropriate content filters to keep out app spam automatically, but we’re looking into it. Larger text size is another thing we’ll try to add in with the next update. Next and previous buttons are something we’ll have to look into.

   Well, it’s not temporary. It works even if I reboot the computer.

    Glad to hear it’s working then.

    I don’t know if its just me but every friend activity detail has the words “Posted a link” before everything when there is no link. Hope this can be fixed =)

    And the problem that Jared’s facing. I don’t like it either.

    Cheers

    Ridzyroo, Kinda odd, but lots of times the Facebook API reports back “link” in the message type and the gadget is just reading that in. We’ll take a look at it and see if there’s some sort of problem being generated by the feed structure testing we implemented.

    When I downloaded the FB gadget, it said I needed to click a link to generate the login code. When I clicked it, a popup appeared that read:

    “…://www.facebook.com/code_gen.php?v=1.0&api_key=4dda23fb6934efa47996f7da090acd50 Application Not Found”

    What does that mean and how do I fix it?

    Katie, add an http to the link and you should be able to just copy and paste that into the browser’s address bar to get the code. Full link should look like: http://www.facebook.com/code_gen.php?v=1.0&api_key=4dda23fb6934efa47996f7da090acd50 If it doesn’t work right off the bat, try refreshing a couple times.
