i have spent few days now on try make this work 
the first few problems was easy just needed to style out sidebar, console, nenu and footer in the facebook canvas html
then change the language value to pretty the page up

but from there it all went pair shaped
i tryed every setting in the fb app  but noting i done made the notification for the invite show to any mobile/tablet users it only shows to desktops users

going by my friends list 5000 of friends online about 200  only  8 were on desktops   so thats 4 %  

so that makes contact inporter almost useless  

how do i get the invite notifications to mobile/tablet users

the only thing i can think of is the mobile site url
as its same as the main site url
http://www.mysite.org/
mobile
http://www.mysite.org/

im thinking for this to actual work it would need be mobile site
http://www.m.mysite.org/
or
http://www.mysite.org/m/

next week when i have more time il make sub domain and stuff n test it that then make notifications got to mobile fb users

Tammy, there is an issue with new Facebook App. It is related to recent changes implemented by Facebook: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/895531977178531 .
Facebook now allows only those Apps that are in "Games" category to use Invitable Friends API. We have already reported to our developers about this issue, it will be fixed asap in the nearest future.

Concerning the displaying of invitations on the mobile devices could you please specify you faced this issue on the Facebook side or on the Oxwall side.
If users can't see the invitations in their FB accounts using the mobile devices it's the Facebook issue and it is not related to our software.
Or if the issue emerged on the Oxwall side please provide us the screenshots. The detailed information will allow us to assist you more effectively.

its on facebook any invite set from the site by contact inporter on people on desktops on facebook receive the invite any one using mobile or tablet do not receive the invite 

i think is due to facebook not see the mobile site due to it being the same url 

even googles new ranking algorithm mobile thing does not see the site as have a mobile view

to test both facebbok and google i need a way of make www.mysite.com/m/
go to mobile site 
but it would only have to show the mobile site not desktop version
for both facebook and google crawlers to see its a dedicated mobile site

This is the problem with the facebook mobile version only
If you open desktop version on mobile : http://www.facebook.com/home.php?m2w
then you'll see the notifications.

Probably the issue is related to the API we're using right now. We are going to refactor the api in the nearest future, probably the issue will be fixed, can't tell for sure now, as it can be the issue with their mobile version and can be on their side, we'll investigate the issue soon.

the problem is both facebook and google can not see the mobile site 
as facebook can not see the mobile site any notification will not show to mobile users as they wont let it as they think theres no mobile site

google can not see the mobile site so you do not get ranking points for have mobile site
so anyone search on mobile or tablets will never see the site as its not in the mobiles search 

to test it all i need is make a m/  folder put index,php  in it with some code to cancel out the desktop version so only mobile view works
