Settings don't save

In Drupal 6, new caching mechanisms were introduced that cache very heavily. One result of this is that code must specifically exclude things from the cache; the current D6 branch of this module does not do that, so settings get cached. When settings get cached, they do not update properly, so administrators may be confused to find that they cannot change their settings.

I don't know much about this yet, so I can't fix it yet. I don't think this problem exists in the D5 branch, however; and obviously it shouldn't happen with caching disabled.

A temporary workaround, if needed, is to set variables like this:

variable_set('facebook_status_variable', 1); //sets the variable "facebook_status_variable" to a value of 1

Administrators will need to look at the code of the module to determine what variables they can use. The best place is in facebook_status.install because the uninstall procedure lists all the variables so that they can be removed.

Please be aware that if you have just cleared the cache before saving, it may look like the variable has saved even if it hasn't. You can check what the variable's value is like this:

print variable_get('facebook_status_variable'); //shows the value of the variable "facebook_status_variable"

Thank you for you patience, and patches are welcome.
