[Facebooker-talk] fb_comments and fb_board not working

[Mike Mangino]

Actually, you can

map.fancy_name 'fancy_path/:id' ....

Your problems were caused by Facebook sending a POST request to a URL  
that doesn't support posts. When they try to do that, your application  
returns an error and they cancel the posting. By creating a route by  
hand, you are decoupling it from the HTTP method used.
