Typepad does not share all my posts with Facebook
I have the "always share" option enabled, but Typepad is just sharing some posts with Facebook, not all posts by default as it is explained here: http://help.sixapart.com/tp/us/facebo...
I don't know why. I followed all the steps and seemed to work fine at the beginning. I attach a screenshot of the posts shared with Facebook (you will see that most of my recent posts are missing).
Just in case it may help with the problem, I usually create draft posts first and publish them later (sometimes days later).
Please advise. I was very happy with the Facebook feature and now I'm quite frustrated.

Hi Albert, we launched some tweaks to TypePad yesterday, based on the guidelines we received from Facebook. You should be able to share your posts to Facebook without any problems, and in the odd case something goes wrong, we have improved our logging mechanism so we can track these posts. Please give it a try and let me know if you're succeeding in sharing your posts. I really want to ensure all is working for you.
As always, thanks for your patience while we worked with Facebook on this issue.

Inappropriate?Hi Albert, I'm so sorry you're experiencing issues sharing your posts to Facebook. I checked your account and you are indeed set up properly, so this shouldn't be happening. Let's see if we can find a solution for it together.
Can you walk me through the steps you normally take when you compose and share your posts? TypePad does turn sharing "off" when posts are in draft status, but when you change the status to publish now or in the future, the setting should turn "on" for you. Is that not happening for your account?
Also note that TypePad turns sharing "off" when a post that has been published gets edited and re-published. This is done to avoid spamming your readers when you edit a post to fix a typo or something similar.
Please let me know more information and I'll try to resolve this issue. -
Inappropriate?It seems to be working as you describe (the sharing us turned on when I change the status to publish, and off when I change it to draft again).
I've been checking all my posts shared so far, and it seems everything was fine until this week, starting on the 2009-08-21. With this post (which was the first one not showing: http://www.albertesplugas.com/blog/20...)
Now my last post has been shared but there are about 8 posts not shared in between.
With this last post, as it didn't come up straight away in Facebook (after hard refreshing) I clicked on the share box manually and republished the post. Then, after hard refreshing Facebook, it appeared twice which made me think it might have been shared to begin with, just doesn't show up straight away. Now in Facebook there is just one entry with this post, not two. I don't know if this makes sense to you.
I'll publish a couple of posts tomorrow. I'll keep an eye to see if the sharing turns on when I change the status and if they are shared properly.
Thank you.
I’m still sad

Thanks for the explanation. It seems there's a delay between the moment TypePad shares the post and when Facebook processes and displays it. I'll ask our engineering team to get in touch with the Facebook engineering team and investigate why these posts are being delayed/dropped.
On another note: we implemented a new feature where we can show stats of how many people clicked on the post that is shared to Facebook/Twitter/FriendFeed. However, this is currently available to Beta users. I'd be happy to add you to the Beta group so you can check it out and let us know how you like it. Would you like to try it? -
Inappropriate?Albert, can you confirm how you're changing the post from Draft to Published? Are you going to the compose page and changing the status, or are you making the change from the List Posts page? See screenshots for clarification.

Always change status from Compose, never from the List Posts. And the sharing seems to turn on when I change the status.

Inappropriate?I'm also experiencing the same. My recent published post seem to not exist in facebook. I thought there was a problem. I'm sure i set up everything ok. But then later when i logged in to my facebook account. I'm already seeing my new post. I guess it just take some time for post to appear on facebook. Its not so long though. It just take few hours. -
Inappropriate?My last post (http://www.albertesplugas.com/blog/20...), published 3 hours ago, has not been shared with Facebook. It seemed to turn on the sharing when I changed the status, but it doesn't come up in Facebook.

The feature seems very cool but I rather stay with the normal group. I guess you have more features with the Beta, but also more problems, tests, feedback etc. and I can't cope with this at the moment.
I'm still having the same problem with Facebook with my last 2 posts. -
Inappropriate?This problem is still going on. No sharing with Facebook for the last 5 days or so (about 6 posts not shared). The sharing turns on every time when change the status to "publish", but the post is not shared.
Thank you
I’m increasingly frustrated

Inappropriate?I have this problem again: http://getsatisfaction.com/sixapart/t...
My lasts 3 posts have not been shared with Facebook. Please can you fix it ASAP?
I didn't do anything unusual. I'll try now to re-publish them ticking the Facebook box manually, but please note that the automatic sharing is not working for me.
Thank you,
