WARN - if you sign up w/ FB and say "you've been there" on an experience, it will automatically comment on your wall without permission saying "I just did this, check it out"

Hey Bobby, so made the share on facebook checkbox more visible. Also, clicking out of the modal now automatically unchecks that box. The only time it will share now is if you click "Done", with the checkbox checked, in which case, it should be very clear that you've seen the checkbox and know what you're doing.

Deployed and tested. That should eliminate any unwanted surprises, so feel free to mark all the things you've done!

There's actually a checkbox that says "Share this on my Facebook wall". You can also just not give RAVN permission to post on your wall when you first sign up (in the Facebook authorization dialog).

overall tho I like, ravn - congrats on the pivot folks

Hey bomatson.There actually is a checkbox right under the done button to not post on FB. I think a lot of times, people just click out without looking at the modal. The whole doning and wanting experience is definitely something we're looking at. Of course we want people to share on FB but at the same time, we don't want to give anyone an unpleasant surprise.

I'll let you know what we come up with for that one. Thanks for the feedback.

Hey guys, thanks for the help and I much appreciate you making the adjustment. Be careful about posting forced copy on social graphs, I'd learn from Chill here http://www.observer.com/2011/08/facebook-is-slightly-less-ch...
