It happens even in the demo page:

https://adodson.com/hello.js/demos/albums.html#photo-albums-w-hellojs

I think something has changed since the GraphAPI failures during the last week of September 2015.

BTW Great library. Congrats.

cover_photo is allways null Do you want me to create a new issue about the absence of the cover_photo thumbnail in the albums array?

Changes from 2.3 to 2.4 are very radical. I see a huge difference in the json response to me/albums

v .2.3 req=2.3/me/albums

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "1841565517520",
      "can_upload": false,
      "count": 180,
      "cover_photo": "10201473503018115",
      "created_time": "2010-12-28T20:04:43+0000",
      "from": {
        "name": "Jape Ntaca",
        "id": "1192044573"
      },
      "link": "https://www.facebook.com/album.php?fbid=1841565517520&id=1192044573&aid=2106666",
      "name": "Timeline Photos",
      "privacy": "everyone",
      "type": "wall",
      "updated_time": "2015-10-03T21:10:45+0000"
    },..etc

v 2.4 req=2.4/me/albums

"data": [
    {
      "created_time": "2010-12-28T20:04:43+0000",
      "name": "Timeline Photos",
      "id": "1841565517520"
    },..etc

But in 2.4 if I make the album request including the cover_photo field, the structure changes it's syntax, adding a cover_photo object inside the json

req=2.4/me/albums?fields=cover_photo

{
  "data": [
    {
      "cover_photo": {
        "created_time": "2013-06-14T18:29:40+0000",
        "name": "Una amistad que cumple 44",
        "id": "10201473503018115"
      },
      "id": "1841565517520"
    },..etc..

I even tried modifyng the line number 82 to me/albums?fields=name,cover_photo' but the thumbnail property of the albums arrays points to an invalid url.

Sorry for my english, I'm from Argentina.
