[Facebooker-talk] fb_comments and fb_board not working

[Allen Walker]

Sadly, to do comments I had to implement what you have done, which 
theoretically is much harder than just using the built in facebook 
comments tag. Now that I wish to use a discussion board, it really 
behooves me to figure this out b/c a discussion board is much more 
advanced than just comments.
