I have some question regarding fb app ticker, I already ask this question on facebook development forum but its been a few days now and to no avail. You see, I have develop my very first facebook app called MagMeUp but every time I use it, my app ticker on the top right corner of my screen is showing a different name. I tested it on my brothers fb account and its just the same. But whenever I change its name, eg. adding "z" at the end like "MagMeUpz" it shows as it is. But when only "MagMeUp" it shows a different name.

I would suggest using the Facebook Linter to refresh the cache on your application and see if it helps.

Also make sure that you are using the correct appid and secret in your app.

This doesn't seem to be documented anywhere (at least that I could find) and FB doesn't use this for any other display purposes as far as I know, but the ticker name seems to be pulled from the iframe's <title> element.

if your app url is " http://apps.facebook.com/APPNAME/ " facebook will visit this url to get the meta info , (og:title,og:description....) i guess it will cache the meta info, use debug tool flush the cache seems not work, but you can modify you page, maybe:

http://apps.facebook.com/APPNAME/index.php, just change the index.php's content ,and all ticker seems flushed !!!

if this not work, try add
