How to fix request errors. Today many are experiencing errors when trying to post a Mafia wars related request [1]. Team Spockholm has identified what is causing the issue and created a workaround. To use it add Feed Fix to your Spockholm Toolbar by clicking the link below then follow the instructions. For those curious about what has caused this issue, Brandon of Team Spockholm gave me the following explanation. There is a parameter called "targetId" inside the code that Mafia Wars sends to Facebook to generate requests. For quite awhile Zynga has just set it to "0". Apparently Facebook changed something in the way it interprets this now, and that is what is giving the error. Feed Fix modifies the code and removes the "0" before it gets sent to FB. For questions and/or feedback, go here.

Hooray! Thank you for sharing...
ReplyDeleteYipppppieeeeeeeee Thank you so much Jen! You and your team ROCK!
ReplyDeleteKim <3
Thank you Jen and Brandon :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for trying but unfortunately it doesn't work all that well at all. You can't share anything, you can't request anything and only a few things here and there work. Those who have MWAddon pro are lucky enough that most things can be automated and MWA is not messed up so it posts just fine, but anything native to MW is pretty much broken, even with this fix.
ReplyDeleteReread the instructions and try again. It works.
DeleteWorked just fine for me
DeleteI also tried repeatedly, but could not post after doing it. thanks for the try .. you are great ..
Deletedoesn't work
ReplyDeleteSorry, it worked. I didn't realize that you say "You will need to re-launch it if you refresh the game or open another tab."
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!! Thanks all at Spockholm..what would we do without you?
ReplyDeleteI'm sick and tired of needing to work around Zynga's mistakes... WTF?!
ReplyDeleteEndlessly Awesome. You guys are the best. If it was not for spockholm and the helper apps outside of ZYNGAs and FACEBOOKs bailiwick, I would have given up a long time ago. Simply put, spockholm keeps this game workable and I cant thank you enough. You Rock.
ReplyDeleteThank you
it didn't work for me and a few others either. got the fixed it.
ReplyDeleteRead the instructions twice and it didn't work for me. I got the message "fixed it", and opened a new tab but same error message. I'm glad it helped a few.
ReplyDeleteYou may have read the instructions but you didn't follow them. If you open a new tab you need to relaunch the script. It only works on the tab you launch it in.
DeleteTY MWLL & Team Spock!!! :)
ReplyDeletethe best way to fix any errors in mafia wars is to simply delete and block the game, its gone from bad to worse in recent months/years. total waste of time.
ReplyDeleteit doesn't work
ReplyDeleteHow do we make it work in IE?
ReplyDeleteTo get it to work in IE,
DeleteLaunch IE,
Download, Chrome, ff, iron
run your new browser. IE just is not smart enough for scripts.
What about MW.ADDON ? Is this same,..presider
ReplyDelete?????????
Sorry it doesn't work after installing I re-lunched and didn't work. then I close Facebook and reopened it then reload Mafia Wars still didn't work so then I rebooted my laptop and opeded FB and then oped Mafia wars and Still didn't work. I can ask for stuff but it doesn't post so only thing it did was stop the error message!!
ReplyDelete"You will need to re-launch it if you refresh the game or open another tab."
DeleteThis works absolutely fine, no probs with installing it.
ReplyDeleteThanks hugely, I for one, like many, many others are truly grateful for all your time and efforts you all put into this game
I just tried to download and Norton blocked it saying it was infected with 2 virus,suspicious and cloud.9. Can someone clean the download up please? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteit works but you have to run it on every tab and reload after you refresh or return from the arena after fighting manually
ReplyDeleteit doesnt work
ReplyDeleteit works but you have to reload it after page refresh and on each tab. If this doesn't work for you it could be something in you anti virus or firewall settings. I don't know this but I had to mess with mine to get demon to run on chrome
ReplyDeleteFIXED: Error Message while trying to post Facebook feeds

Thank you for your patience.

ReplyDeleteThanks but it is too late for me I just quit Mafia Wars and I blocked the game. 4 years of this crap is too much for me. I am out of here. Thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeletewon't work...........
ReplyDeleteI'm clicking on the feed fix button above, but it just goes to a blank page with the button on it again No instructions and I can't click the button
ReplyDeleteMine was doing this last night but it had stopped giving me the message and I can post again today. I added the Spocklet code anyway, just in case it does it again. Thanks!
