I think I'm an old guy too!   Tongue

I do love not having that popup window when I check out any more.  I was relying on Firefox to block it.

So thank-you to whoever...   Wink

I also do not have a pop-up window any longer but have a button in the middle of the page after checking out that reads "Post to facebook" (or similar). And it works well as far as I can say without having had to change any settings.

Personally I've not found the Facebook popup annoying, maybe I've become immune to popup in general Cheesy
However I've started using this "post to Facebook" button, and it has been to Kiva's benefit, with a few inquires from friends and one friend joining and lending.

Are you signed in to Facebook when you make a loan?  Here is what I see, in the upper left quadrant of the screen on the confirmation page after checking out:



I don't use the "Share on Facebook" option, but it's presented to me after each checkout.  (I am using Chrome as my browser.)

Joan, I see the same as Diane, and like Ramona I'm on Firefox...

it's only on the "Thank You" page after you have paid for your loan.

... after you click you get the window that we used to get automatically, now we have a choice Smiley

How strange - I definitely don't see that on the Thank You page, and yes I am logged on to facebook (does it have to be open in another browser?)

Well, maybe it will get fixed with that script correction John mentioned...  it's just weird that it's not consistent.
