I saw that this option is now available on FB.  So I grabbed the code and tried to post it on my forumotion site.  It just stayed looking like code.  Sorry I'm such a newb.  Can I get some advice on how to embed FB posts into forum posts?  My site is www.gravitypirates.dust.tv.  THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Do you have HTML activated for the whole forum, and do you have it activated in your profile?

Could you post a link to Facebook that describes this feature?

Are you getting the code from the post that you want, and is it a public post?

It won't embed in a post because the code is using javascript, the forum will not accept most javascripts in posts for security reasons, however, it will work fine for an HTML page or a widget.

I tested the code its functioning properly.

How would I use it as a widget or html in the forum?  Not sure how that would "show up" or what.  I know, that's a rank newb question.  But I only know what I know.  Thanks for the help so far!
