Topic-icon Problem of 2nd set of 'optional' permissions

Active Subscriptions:

None
Now, I selected some permissions in the 2nd sets. But after accepting the 1st box, the pop-up window would disappear and the whole website would turn to facebook to process the 2nd box. It's strange to user I think, could the 2nd box be changed in the pop-up windows also, but without the redirection to facebook?

Also, it is easy to get "Facebook API Error: SSL connection timeout" when a new user register via JFC, do you know what's the reasons?

Thanks a lot=]

We've tried to implement the optional box as a pop-up, but it doesn't always work that way. The reasons are varied, but it's how Facebook requires you to ask for new permissions. They prefer it not to be in a pop-up so that the user feels more secure. We agree that we'd like it in a pop-up more, and will re-investigate if there's a better way to force it in the future.

As for the SSL Connection Timeout, no I've never see that issue. Is this on initial registration, on the optional pop-up request, or at some other time?

Thanks!
