fb:comments-count coming up blank? alternative sugegstion?

Hi guys,

I’m having an odd situation here. I have a site set up that uses fb-comments, and it shows up blank in on the production server (the one which the app actually points to), but gives me 0’s for a development server not listed in the app.

Also, it seems to work in places where there is only one or two counts at a time, but when there are more than, say, 8, all of them show up blank.

You can see it in action at:

I’d appreciate any suggestions. Also, if you would recommend another way of retrieving comment count I’d be open to using that. I tried doing a Facebook API call but I’m not too familiar with the inner workings of it and my $facebook -> api kept coming up NULL and breaking everything.

Thanks!
David

@NatdripAug 23.2011 — If you are running from you localhost and the fb-comments are pointing to the web you may have to set up a proxy service to call other web sites. This is why it's not showing up of your local cause its calling the web.

About fb-comments there can be several reasons why it doesn't show up is it possible to see the raw data coming from the fb-comments?

So would calling the API be a better idea? Would you happen to know why it shows up NULL sometimes?

Thanks!
