Not rubbish at all. They owe you nothing. Not everyone is you. If they allowed incompatible browsers that caused havoc then before you know it the great unwashed would be demanding more and better support or complaining about lack of functionality. Doing what they do they make it very clear from day one. Dont like it? The APIs are open. Write your own interfaces to their authentication and graph API and target the parts that wont result in your accuont being banned for chucking access tokens around and breaking their security model. Simple solution : use an uptodate capable browser if you want to use these technologies. I really dont see why people whine. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
