Our canvas pages are wicked smart

I've noticed some developers putting 'view=preview' or 'view=canvas' on canvas page links in activity and notifications. This is generally not a good idea as it's not a good experience for a user who has already installed the application to be sent to the preview view. We only support it so developers can troubleshoot all views of their application from the dev console.

The canvas page (www.hi5.com/friend/apps/displayAppCanvas.do?appId=xxxx) is smart enough to display the preview view if the user has not installed the application yet, so I would highly recommend not specifying a view in your activity and notification urls, and letting the canvas page logic display the appropriate view for you.
