The good news is that whatever they did, they *seem* to have fixed it -
I'm now able to view my own comments and pages that I've commented on,
without any changes to Netsurf!

Going back through the activity history, it looks as if the issue is not
the notification links per se, but displaying *any* FB page that I have
previously commented on, navigated to by any means - presumably Facebook
have done something fancy to add a new feature of some sort to pages
with 'user's own comments', and in some manner it has broken Netsurf's
ability to communicate with the site when loading such pages. :-(

The fact that you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you.

Facebook notifications
I've been using Netsurf with m.facebook.com - as of this morning, the
'notification' links that are displayed when, for example, someone
responds to a Facebook comment are not working when you click on them.
("Sorry, something went wrong. We are working on it and we'll get it
fixed as soon as we can.")
Have Facebook changed something in the link syntax?

My experience is that a small percentage of the time, for no obvious reason, Facebook links work without JavaScript enabled. (You get sent to a redirection screen instead of just getting a blank page full of JavaScript.) On any given session, if they work then they continue to work until you log out. However, it's perfectly possible to log in again half an hour later from the same computer running the same instantiation of Netsurf and find that they have stopped working again. I've never been able to spot anything specific that triggers it, and vaguely assumed that it depended which server you got sent to at the other end -- Harriet Bazley == Loyaulte me lie == Nothing is foolproof - to a sufficiently talented fool

Facebook links
Hi all, It used to be the case that when you clicked on links to external websites (e.g. when somone shares a BBC News story) it would stop at a blank screen and I used to have to manually edit the URL to get there. It seems the URL is now correctly parsed by Netsurf. I'm not sure what version this took effect from (I'm on Cl#2963) but I remember I mentioned the problem a couple of years ago. So many, many thanks to the Team for sorting this out! Facebook experience on RISC OS is getting better and better ! :) :) -- Chris

The workaround is to save the link as text, extract the embedded URL and replace the escaped characters (%2F = / and &3A = : in your example). Once you get to the unescaped ampersand it and all the rest is Facebook garbage which you can delete. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ Skype: minijem2 mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.

Facebook URLs
Hi all, I use the mobile site (m.facebook.com) with Netsurf but I've never understood why links on posts such as: http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/11276158.Puppy_love_as_guide_dog_visit_stressed_out_university_students/ turn into something horrendously long such as: http://lm.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yorkpress.co.uk%2Fnews%2F11276158.Puppy_love_as_guide_dogs_visit_stressed_out_university_students%2F&h=nAQFw8k0a&enc=AZPXMdNOFY5jft7xFZWvoSPStvrU8djNkRBAwOKIq8doXAYlOtrL4URq2aezoNDxStaN79e3VneS85f4-L-6JTw51xN-2OHAu0rap3MdNZz-WZ3zgb6exV5wlYZX11ZMveZkJNiouE27lobN2iqq4ZGW&s=1 and a subsequent blank page when you click on them in Netsurf. Above example is purely for illustration, not that I usually surf the internet for puppies or even the York press ! Is this a Netsurf peculiarity or a Facebook one? If the latter, is there a workaround? You don't seem to be able to highlight and copy just the URL without activating it. thanks Chris. --

Hi I have just noticed that there is a facebook page for Netsurf. How about including a link to it on the opening page? (Obviously to the mobile version of the page.) For anyone who wasn't aware https://m.facebook.com is quite usable on Netsurf (and possibly preferable to using timeline on a javascript browser.) -- Jess

Not with NetSurf directly but photos can be sent by email. http://www.facebook.com/mobile/ for your personalised address (needs javascript). The Subject of the email is the attached photo's caption. (Been meaning do that myself: send them with Pluto, rather than firing up a bloated browser on an already busy PC has got to be quicker.)

mobile Facebook
i have just been pleasantly surprised by a first experience of using Netsurf to look at Facebook -- there's a Javascript-free version of Facebook meant for use on cellphones: http://m.facebook.com it's actually quite usable: scaled down, some omissions such as timestamp on wall postings, pictures too small or not at all, can't work out how to post a picture, but still quite usable. one immediate observation of bad formatting in Netsurf (r12041): on the home page, the text-input pane left of the Share button is far far too small and far from its action button. -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk
