I've been trying to use FB_Social to implement a facebook comments block on a community site and when I create it under Facebook social presets the comments appear just fine, yay. Unfortunately they appear above the content and unlike many of the other presets there doesn't seem to be a function to put it at the bottom.

I tried activating the 'block' option but it doesn't work and kicks back an error. The block remains empty ant the FB comments remain on top of the body content for the node.

How do I get the comments to the bottom of the node?

Title: Facebook Comments appears at top of content » FB Comments row does not appear on Manage Display page, FB Comments appear above content and can't be moved
Component: Documentation » User interface
Category: support » bug

Let me mention #993122: FB social comments appear above node content explicitly here, which is a similar issue on 6.x. The solution given in that thread is to go to /admin/structure/types/manage/TYPE-NAME/display (or the d6 equivalent of that path anyhow) and change the order of appearance just like you would any other field.

I think this is a totally different issue aside from being for a different version because there is no row for FB Comments on the Manage Display page. So the difference between this and #993122: FB social comments appear above node content is not just the version—a vital configuration mechanism appears not to have made it to the 7.x version.

Version: 7.x-2.0-alpha3 » 7.x-2.x-dev

Realized that if something isn't working I ought to try the -dev version. Situation remains as before but updating version here.

Title: FB Comments row does not appear on Manage Display page, FB Comments appear above content and can't be moved » No way to set weight of FB elements

The FB elements have a default "weight" of zero, so if you go to /admin/structure/types/manage/TYPE-NAME/display for each and every content type, and select the weight of the fields manually (instead of the drag-n-drop method), you can make sure that all the fields that should be above the FB comment box are negative numbers.

It's a bit annoying but it is a workable workaround for the moment.

Note that this reveals: there's also no way to position different FB widgets. The Like button will always be next to the comment box, no matter what.
