Facebook authorisation problem - posting to wrong profile
Facebook authorisation seems very funky in relation to the app. Here's what's happened to me:
1. I authorised Facebook on my Gowalla web account so I could search for friends.
2. We got 1.2 - yays!
3. I couldn't post to Facebook from phone on checkin
4. Authorised Facebook on my friend Patrick's iPhone
5. We both posted to my Facebook account if turned on (fair enough, sharing a phone has it's downsides)
6. I briefly used my friend Dave's phone a few weeks ago - didn't do any Facebook posting/auth
7. Today I posted to Facebook my cool featured spots - but they posted to Dave's Facebook account :( Boo.
8. I re-authed Facebook on Patrick's phone after a bemused text from Dave, and the final post went to my account
I understand that the FB auth is per phone rather than per account - which is bizarre. But I never used FB on Dave's phone, I never even posted to Twitter - why did the authorisation jump? And can you make it per account?
Thanks

PS: I love Gowalla and my friends - 401 stamps, 10 featured spots, 112 spots created, 16 pins and 68 vaulted items.... all whilst waiting to get my own iPhone ;)

I’m sad that my cool stamps didn't go to my Facebook profile

Inappropriate?Question(s): have you used Gowalla on Dave's computer? Logged onto your account?
Alternately, has Dave ever used YOUR computer for FB/Twitter, etc?2 Comments

This solves the problem

I have never used FB on Dave's computer and he has never used it on mine.
The only connection was the iPhone - but neither he nor I posted to Facebook during the time I used it. -
It happened again. This time with Ben's.
I posted to his Facebook instead of mine on my new phone, despite previously linking it to my account.
It seems to happen when FB is already authorised on a phone - but why does it jump accounts?
