[Facebooker-talk] fb_comments and fb_board not working

[Allen Walker]

Yeah I've looked at that tutorial. It's very straightforward and I've tried
it as it says with no luck. I've gotten everything else to work so i'm quite
puzzled. It must have something to do with routing and url recognition is
the only thing I can figure, as I believe the fb:board and fb:comments tag
map based on the URL and the xid=value.
