When we post several single photos within a short period of time via the API, the fanpage timeline groups these images together automatically.
Is there a certain length of time that you need to wait to ensure that the images appear separately within the page?

This is intentional behavior to enhance the user experience on the Facebook Newsfeed. The photos are automatically grouped together to a nice album view rather than making multiple entries in the user's newsfeed which can appear spammy.
If you want to have the photos appear separately then you need to wait some time between posts. It is recommended that you do not post too frequently to a page otherwise users may mark the posts a spam which has a negative affect on visibility of your future posts.

i would wait 1 hr in between each post.

I am curious; is it at all possible to somehow get data about the locations of likers (those who have a public location anyway) on facebook pages?
I'm merely curious for statistical reasons whether A or B is more popular in country Z, etc....
I assume its not possible without a bit of coding but any points as to what would be the way to look into creating something to trawl a likes list?
There's the page_fans_country metric of the Page's insights edge, e.g.
/cocacola/insights/page_fans_country?period=lifetime
to get the lifetime likes by country for the CocaCola page. You can use this with an App Access Token like this:
GET https://graph.facebook.com/cocacola/insights/page_fans_country?period=lifetime&access_token={app_access_token}
where {app_access_token} is the App Access Token you want to use.

How do you subscribe to the real time API to user photos changes in order to get the likes and comments of user uploaded photos when they are liked and commented? Are there any necessary app settings or specific graph api calls that need to be made?
Regards
Have a look at the docs at
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/real-time-updates/v2.4
Keep in mind that you can only receive user updates if the user has given your application the appropriate permissions.

Last year we submitted a Facebook app for review and our use of user_likes was approved as an item. I didn't keep a record of the text I used to describe how we use user_likes. Now I need to submit a very similar app for a different customer. Is there a way to dig up the old approval form contents?
You should ask the Facebook crew about that. However, I believe that should not be interesting. You should fill the values according to your best understanding of the features, especially, because some features might have been changed in the meantime. You have been already waiting for half an hour. Instead you have been able to complete the fields...

If I delete a photo from facebook, does the link remain valid? If some photo was deleted, but I still have the link (possibly in a JSON file) will I be able to post the photo again based on the link saved in my JSON file? Also will photos and videos on facebook keep their addresses, or might they be changed over time?
According to this Ars Technica article from August 16, 2012:
http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/08/facebook-finally-changes-photo-deletion-policy-after-3-years-of-reporting/
Three years later, deleting your photos on Facebook now actually works
After years of photo hoarding, Facebook now deletes user photos within 30 days.
I am sure if you wanted to follow up with the reporter who wrote the story, she would respond. Her page is located here: http://arstechnica.com/author/jacqui-cheng/

This morning dynamically generated links to FB pages from our app stopped working. Link to a page like this http://www.facebook.com/pages/125567350861413 used to work just fine, now it requires page name http://www.facebook.com/pages/Daniels-Real-Estate/125567350861413
Why would this be changed? Was there a problem with old pages link format?
We tweaked our code to take into account page name and made it work. But if a user changes the name of a page the link to this page will break, until we refresh the list of pages in our db. We'll write a chron job that will refresh the list of page names for all users using our app multiple times a day, but we'd prefer not having to do that.
Anyone else ran into this issue? What was your workaround (other than the above)?
While this is probably an off-topic question, you can get the page url using the graph api:
http://graph.facebook.com/125567350861413 and looking at the link property. As to why Facebook changed this, you would have to ask them at their developer group or log a bug.
