yea, I'm considering changing some of the "one click" fixes and just directing the users to the relevant privacy settings. The main goal is to be able to give this to my less-technical friends and family, so they can fix up their privacy settings without getting confused by all the deep navigation.

That's an excellent goal. How sensitive are the Javascript checks? You can also pull in some privacy settings (around default settings for posting and maybe more) via their API. Though in it's current state it's pretty awesome.

thanks! The checks aren't too sensitive, but the one-click fixes can be flaky. FF3 periodically has issues, haven't had time to delve into it yet. I'm hoping some other Javascript pros take a look at the code.
