Whenever a mission goes to a Facebook page, the little mission box doesn't appear. I think this is because the subdomain (http://SCHOOL.facebook.com) depends on where you go to school.

Yeah... it's annoying, not only because I can't complete the mission, but also because I can't comment on the mission to say it's broken!

Yup, now had a couple missions I was on break due to a FB link.

On Wired's comment - it would be nice to have a way to report back to the authors of mission problems. I've gotten a fair way into several now only to not be able to finish. Usually I can see at least a handful of others have made it through so the reason is a mystery. But as it is no way to let the mission maker know (or maybe we should be reporting every mission glitch here?).

It is truly annoying, and I've been sending msgs to the mission makers, etc. this is just another reason for me to dislike Facebook!
Since I don't have a FB account, I can't see the pages included in the missions and don't see the pop-ups; logged in user only pages are just unnecessary in missions. Blah.

Yup, writing the mission maker privately works but the downside is that other potential takers are not warned ;)

Hmm, can you give me an idea of what urls are breaking on facebook. Actually, if you could give me an idea of what the SCHOOL in http://SCHOOL.facebook.com looks like, that would help a lot :)

Any private page; if you need to log into Facebook to see the page, it just plain sucks. I don't have a FB page, nor do I plan on getting one anytime soon...so it looks like I will just have to NOT finish those missions...

Cheers.

Yeah, pretty much any Facebook page will break the mission. Examples of what the SCHOOL in http://SCHOOL.facebook.com look like:
http://reed.facebook.com
http://hs.facebook.com
http://harvard.facebook.com
http://berkeley.facebook.com

And it's impossible to show what the URL is that breaks the mission, because Facebook changes the subdomain (the 'SCHOOL' part) of the URL depending on your account.

Ok, I have a facebook exception lined up - if you could try any mission that has broken because of facebook, and let me know if it works, that'd be great :)

This one breaks on a secure Facebook page:
http://pmog.com/missions/have_yo...

Thanks!

Update: Shirosenryou was nice enough to fix it for those of us who don't Facebook.
