Hello,
Has anyone had his/her request for read_friendlists permission unapproved from facebook. I recently requested to have this permission approved, but got this message below. I really need with this. Any next step advise/solution will be appreciated. Also, it looks like i don't see the read_ friendlist anymore on the list to submit again

Chris..Yes, i did, but decided to post here just in case anyone else has the same issue. Thanks for looking into it
Friend Inviter is taking a break.
The recent changes in the Facebook API may mean that the Facebook Invite feature may never work for new users. It's also possible that it may stop working in future for existing users.
The changes relate to the user_friends permission:
Note the second point:
This essentially makes the Facebook invite feature useless. The concept is we want to invite new people to the site, but this permission would only find users who have already been to the site.
It's worth noting that the other functionality of the add-on still works as designed.
The Facebook stuff may come back in the future, in some sort of different form, but I do not currently have an ETA for this due to existing commitments. Until then, I will support existing customers the best as possible with the rest of the functionality, but, naturally, I do not want to be selling a product that doesn't fully work as advertised. At such a time where there is a way to bring back the Facebook functionality (or something similar) I will request that the add-on be undeleted.
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Just thinking 'outloud' .... One of the things I disliked about IPB when I was using it and paying for A LOT of add-ons, was developers would discontinue a paid add-on (either officially or unofficially) for X reason and then re-release it sometime later (sometimes same name, sometimes different name) and people would have to rebuy the same thing all over again.
It's good to know that does not happen here on XenForo

The above code I use to make a widget using the add-on [bd] Widget Framework made by @xfrocks
http://xenforo.com/community/resources/bd-widget-framework.297/
The end result is this
This is nice and works, but I was trying to convert / replace those images with Font Awesome.

PHP:
<a href="friend-inviter/google"><i class="fa fa-google-plus fa-fw" /> </a> Yes, I tried this....
Things go wrong... So very wrong.... lol
Add it 1x and it keeps on adding..... Perhaps it's an issue with [bd] Widget Framework processing Font Awesome.
oh well.... Thanks anyways, @Chris D

I did not give up and found the solution
PHP:
<a href="friend-inviter/google" class="fa fa-google-plus fa-fw" style="font-size: 30px; color:red;"></a>Adjust accordingly
