The other day I uploaded a 200x600 image with no problem. But I've had trouble uploading images that were less than 200 and no taller than 600, so it almost seems arbitrary, although I'm sure there's some Hidden Facebook Logic at work.

If you use the <code> <fb:share-button class="url" href="http://www.facebook.com/HYPERARTS?v=app_7146470109" /> </code> You'll see an option in the popup, bottom left, next to the envelope icon, "Send as a message instead". Selecting this option for your share will generate an email from Facebook to your selected friends, notifying them of the message. Of course, any of your friends that opt out of this type of notification, via in the top left corner: Account > Account Settings > Notifications won't receive the email. However, by default the option is to receive these emails. Actually, I think there is a way to do it. If you use the

Those are other gripes specific to Facebook Fan pages. I can't code a Facebook page at all but I do see a lot of shortcomings in how Fan pages were set up. The fact that Fan Pages cannot Fan other pages is a shortcoming. The fact that if I admin a fan page and send a status message, it shows up as the admin and I never have the option to reply as myself is another huge gripe. And what about fan pages with thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of members? I can't even search for them. Facebook gives you a nice opportunity to customize your page via FBML. That's what this article by Jesse was about. But the core functionality of Facebook's Fan pages leaves much to be desired. Yup! Those are other gripes specific to Facebook Fan pages.

Most of the pages that I add as favorites would add a benefit to my fan page (and fans) if they would appear in my fan page stream. I also cannot figure out how to share something from my personal page recent feed to my fan page. Any ideas? My gripe is I cannot fan a page with my fan page, I can only add it to my favorites.
