Hello,

since today Facebook seems to display the numbers wrong:

Instead of

Distance: 11 km

Duration: 59:50

Pace: 5:27 / km

it shows

Distance: h1 km

Duration: h9:50

Pace: h:27 / km

An "h" instead of the first digit...

Any idea why? FB error?

same here

coincidence that it happened the same time that the RA log was upgraded messing with units?

Mine did this too, and not for an entry from today, my entry yesterday said 8.0 miles on FB yesterday but today it says h.0 miles.

Looked back, all my old wall posts now have h as the first digit in each line.

Me too.

And, even though I have the "don't show notes" box checked, FB keeps showing my notes (so I am having to censor myself!). Not a big deal, but just FYI.

although it is kind of cool for me to image that sometimes the h means I was faster today

I'm not seeing this. Could you provide more info?

Did you log these entries on RA or via FB?

What browser did you use?

Could you give me a screen shot?

I logged mine on RA and then it automatically is posted on my FB wall.

I use Safari.

~~Ah! I was looking at the wrong place. I'll have it fixed in a jiffy.~~

After looking into it, I don't think this is an RA problem. The problem is with the streams, which are created by RA and are sent to and stored on FB. Even if it's an RA problem, streams created prior to the upgrade should not be affected. The fact that they are points to FB. I found a post in the FB developer forum talking about the same problem. Maybe FB changed something that I'm not aware of but I doubt it. I hate FB.
