I've seen this very consistently in IE9. I've given up on IE with Publish to Facebook and use Firefox every time I want to use this feature.

Oscar, thank you for chiming in. I am currently testing with IE9 and IE10, and will be submitting some issues to our engineering team to take a look at. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I am glad The Publish To Facebook tool in Firefox is working for you as expected.

I too was having occasional issues in Firefox as well. I found that if I was logged into facebook in the background it helped. I do not like this, as I like to keep a dedicated browser(chrome) to just Facebook, and the rest of my personal browsing in Firefox.
When I saw this issue was also during a period (a couple of months ago) when the multiple logins were required due to switch from smugmug domain to custom domain (which is fixed now).
I do not remember seeing this issue in Firefox recently.

Thanks for the update Dee. Also, if you, or anyone finds "bugs" with this tool (like Jordan's above) or any other parts of SmugMug, please make sure to log as a new thread in http://www.dgrin.com/forumdisplay.php?f=54

If we have dedicated threads instead of continually adding to a running thread, It will make it much easier for me to test, manage and keep you informed.

Thanks everyone!

Thank you for the report Jordan. I will investigate this to see if I can reproduce on IE10. Have you tried restarting IE10, just to make sure this wasn't a one time issue?

Thanks again Jordan!

Happy to help! I've always had this issue in IE9/10, multiple machines, multiple days, multiple restarts. :-)

Jordan, I did re-create the bugs on IE10 and have submitted these issues to our engineering team. I will keep you posted on the outcome. Thanks again!

Michael

The only issue I see with this now, is each photo shows up as a separate post in the "insights" tab, and the "xx people saw this post" for the album do not show in the feed.

I have this same experience when I tried to post a while back. Can someone please confirm what is happening with Facebook Insights these days?

Insights at the album level are critical to our organization.

Hi Phil,

I will see what data I can find on how the Insights are working in relation to SmugMug as of now.

I will keep you posted.

Hi, I'm having an issue where the "Publish to Facebook" feature sometimes with cause duplicate images to be posted to Facebook. I've been using IE10, FF (the latest one), and Chrome, and I get the issue across all browsers, across different machines. Just wondering if anyone else is having similar issues. Hero support told me to ask here.

10 hours I've been waiting for my photos to upload.....

James,

This problem should have been resolved. Can you please confirm?

Hello Michael,
I tried publishing a couple of albums to facebook about 45 minutes ago, and nothing yet. I have never had to wait this long.

MomaZunk

Ok, the first one just showed up after about 75 minutes, and the other shortly after. Each photo still shows up as a separate post in the statistics/Insights which is annoying, but the album shows up in a single post on the page.

Thanks for the update! Unfortunatly, sometimes there is a slight queue, so while long, 75 minutes for a larger album isn't out of the normal. But 10 hours definitely is

Great, thanks for the report James!

10+ hours again...this is getting irritating!

I wonder if this delay is somehow related to the 'processing image' delay.

23 hours.....

Update on Publish to FB -- Want to know how it's all working!
I haven't tried to publish to FB for a number of months. Without wading back through pages & pages, I'm wanting to know how everything is working currently before I do all the work of going that route (making a gallery here with the main purpose of publishing to FB). I'd like to know if there are any lingering (or new) issues with publishing to a FB Fan PAGE as well as publishing to a Profile. I.e. are your friends getting just one notification (as they should) per gallery? And how's the uploading time going as of today? Etc. etc. Thanks! P.S. I did not see any responses to GeNe, in post #339, regarding some photos getting published a couple times. It's kinda sad when a new user gets no answers.

Hi Anna Lisa,

If your follower has specifically requested to "Get Notifications" from your page, they will get one notification per photo. But most people who like a page do not do this extra step, therefore it will just show as one uploaded album in the news feed, as I referenced in http://dgrin.com/showpost.php?p=1838997&postcount=307.

Gene was working with the support heroes, but I do take responsibility for not directly responding to him here on dgrin.

Thanks!

Is this feature available on the New SmugMug design?

AirThom

Figured it out! It's under "Organize". Well done!

Insights
Are insights still showing up with multiple entries (1 for each photo)?

Is Publish to FB working well with Legacy now?
Are things working OK with Publish to FB from Legacy? Haven't done it in awhile & am preparing a gallery for that purpose. Just wanting to know if I need to do anything special and/or if all of the usual options are there. I'll be publishing to my profile, I think. The notifications isn't a big deal to me (& maybe it's been fixed?) as long as my friends or page-likers don't get a notification for every photo. That wasn't an issue for profiles anyway, I don't think...
