Default Is there a way to stop the forum from trying to make the connection to Facebook?

Facebook is blocked at my office and I think that is what is causing the forum to take so long to load.

What was the point of adding Facebook to the forum anyway?

Because the good folks that run MySpace have a little more class and told us to go pound salt.

Get ride of face book.

Facebook and other social networking pages are gateways to your personal info and locations.

Use your hosts file to redirect facebook to localhost.

I see on the help forum they are working on a fix for having to click back twice to get out of a thread.

This is another issue I'm having becasue of the Facebook crap.

Again, what was the point of connecting the Forum to Facebook?

They're s****ing you man. Don't touch anything. (especially system32)

As for Farcebook, I never even knew there was a connection.
