For some reason I can't post to Facebook either with Be Social or the Share Button under the photo, I get the message "You don't seem to be connected with Facebook." And click here to give us permission. I click but nothing happens. This just started happening recently. Any ideas???

Thanks,
Scott.
When I try to post to my wall it keeps saying I have to give my permission, well it already has my permission!!! This just started happening recently, tried it on a couple of computers, does it with Firefox and IE Explorer

Check to see if your personal account security settings set to browse facebook on a secure connection whenever possible is checked off. Try unchecking it and post to wall from smugmug again. Let me know if this works.

I don't have the secure connections set, I was able to use the FB share button on Smugmug to post on my wall until recently. I haven't changed anything on Smugmug or FB. It's strange that the like button works and I can use the share button on my FB Fan page but not on my FB wall.

Shoots that theory. When I had a problem using the FB share button, it was the secure connection issue that was the problem.

Same for me, tested today, it works on Safari on mac, does not work on either of my macs on Firefox, or on a separate network on a PC in IE or Chrome.

The Be Social pop up works, I can access the other services, but Facebook has the text box and allows me to select the picture, but no "post to facebook" or a place to add user/pass.
Third party cookies allowed. Not blocking popups from my carterstuff.net, facebook.com or smugmug.com.
Annoying. I tested by clearing cache, wiping out cookies, restarting brower, going to http://photos.carterstuff.net/Photography/Flowers/17172757_3xZDVq#1301943264_rJs8k9C and hitting the share button (not logged in to smugmug or facebook). no worky

It's set to allow 3rd party cookies, still doesn't work.
After a couple of emails back and forth with support I figured out that on one of my home machines it will work from safari, but I don't use safari.
Considering the Facebook Share option doesn't work properly, isn't this just redundant?
Facebook "Like" shares the link and thumbnail on the wall without any of the glitches, so why do we need another Facebook problem that causes complications?
It ruins the whole user experience in my galleries. It makes the screen unusable in the Thumbnail style galleries as it "blacks" out the screen, the user has to know to scroll up to the top to see what is going on, and then they have to enable a third party app to achieve the same results as if they simply hit "like".
I vote you get rid of that second Facebook button.
Or at least please tell me how I can get rid of the "Share" button and keep the "Like".
It's trivial to add this to your CSS and then it'll not display:
#qsFacebookShareButton {display: none;}

It has not worked on and off ever since it was released. My clients shouldn'y have to "check third party cookies", or security software. I use both smugmug, and zenfolio, and zenfolio works fine. I deliver weddings on zenfolio because among other things the facebook share button actually works.
However zenfolio has VERY slow upload speeds, so I am going to start delivering weddings back on smugmug now that I can disable the share button, because the "like" buttons works fine.
IMO, this is kinda lame on the coders part if their is a known issue, and it is still not fixed, one of the many annoyances of being a long time smugmug user.
Just sayin....
And while I am at it.... the share text shouldn't contain a little ad for smugmug..... bad form!
