Where’s my Top Friends?
Hi Everyone,
We've already received quite a few emails from concerned users asking why they can no longer see their Top Friends on Facebook. As of 7:40 p.m. PDT last night, Facebook removed Top Friends because a professional hacker exploited a logic error in the application that allowed users to see some limited Facebook information about a friend of a Top Friend.
We quickly eliminated this bug and are working with Facebook to verify it is completely corrected. We are committed to restoring your carefully crafted Top Friends profiles and friend selections. We will provide an update as soon as we can.
Ryan
Hope it's back soon! Let us know!

Alright guys, I love your app and I hope it comes back. But, ever since it was removed I have had constant non-stop problems with my computer. I can't seem to open my facebook IM thing, My computers "protecting/filter/anti-everything" is even screwing up. Its blocking facebook which its not supposed to do or has ever done. I'm running scans and not really getting anything and I'm planning on having my stepdad look at my computer. He is a programmer/consulter and I'm interested to see what he'll say about it. But I guess the main reason for me writing is to ask a question. Do you think that it would have anything to do with this personal hacker person? And if so what do you think I could do about it?

Hey, i would like to know something
If you manage to fix this, are our top friends coming back the way they used to be?
I mean, do we have to start over and add them, or there are backups to avoid this work.
Thanks ^^

Tiko: Yes, your Top Friends will be exactly the way you left it once it comes back on.

Oh, what is the estimated time for Top Friends to be back up and running?
Thanks for the great app.

When it's restored, do we have to pick our top friends again? And will awards, drinks, etc. still be there from before?
