Sorry about that. It only happens when the JS borks out completely (which is rare), when JS is turned off, or when you're using a really old browser (which i assume you're not).

If you're inclined (I completely understand if not) can you tell us the error that the console in Chrome or Firebug gives you?

The error I'm receiving on Firefox Aurora 10.0a2 (2011-11-27) is:

VKLog is not defined http://switchcam.com/assets/js/utils/facebook.js?ver=2011112... Line 81

VKLog.dlog("checkSessionStatus()");

It does seem to work with Adblock disabled, so I'd guess a subscription is blocking something essential.

Interesting, thanks for poking around! I don't think we use anything dodgy (except maybe Facebook libraries) but I'll see if I can set up that configuration and debug it. Really appreciate you taking the time to write this up. Cheers, Chris

I'm having the same problem. I think it's a bad idea to use Facebook libraries for critical functionality. A lot of people (myself included) block Facebook resources from loading on external sites to decrease their ability to track user activity.

Thank you! I think you must be right about the adblock thing. We once had a similar thing with a Chrome plugin that borked things. We'll look into it; thanks again.

For me it was Adblock blocking your http://switchcam.com/assets/js/utils/logging.js script. Things work fine once I let that script load.

It does it too when on uses ClickToFlash/ClickToPlugin Safari extension. Selecting Flash in the source selector makes it work.
