[Facebooker-talk] Unusual Bebo invitations occurances???

[David Clements]

Not sure if this will help but I have had to special case the invite page.
I am not remembering why but I have this code.

<fb:request-form action="<%= bebo_request? ? "social_network/dashboard" :
"dashboard"  %>"

I am running on facebook and bebo.
