disappointment

Sorry about the triple post, I’ve decided to grow a pair and start rooting around in the code. It appears to be a problem with Facebook.

When I go to the mobile version of the site (this is what TNG connects to), the comments are all blank, anonymous, and dated Jan 1, 1970. So it’s perfectly possible that TNG is dutifully ignoring identical posts, and that’s why I just get that one post on my latest entry.

Is there any way to spider the non-mobile version of the page, or is that a parsing nightmare?

(TNG spiders this page: https://m.facebook.com/notes.php?locale=en_US – check for yourself about the comments bug)

More info – the Anonymous blank comment is dated with a unix timestamp of 0 – January 1, 1970. Dunno if this is important or helpful.

It doesn’t work for me, either. It reports success, and produces a list of posts, but none of the comments appear. Apart from one, anonymous blank comment in the latest post?

It’s a shame, because my blog comments are dead, but my FB notes are quite lively.

Is this because Facebook change their HTML? Is it Facebook wanting the internet to be completely inside their templates?
