When I try to submit a new thread and click the "post to facebook", I get the following

Invalid Scopes: publish_stream. This message is only shown to developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present. Please read the documentation for valid permissions at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions

I haven't used this feature in a while, it sounds like they changed the API, and vbulletin is trying to use some old deprecated features. Is this something I can fix myself, or is this something I need to wait for a vbulletin update?

Using v4.2.4 of vbulletin

Aside from the update of the FB base file to 3.2.3 in 4.2.5 RC1, there wont be any changes to vb4 facebook code.

(Note, 4.2.5 RC1 isnt available yet)

So does that mean it's broken and is due to be fixed in the coming 4.2.5 release?

No, it doesnt mean that.

I have no idea if its broken, but if it is, I equally have no idea if FB 3.2.3 would fix it.
The only thing Im sure is broken is logging in via facebook, and that FB 3.2.3 will probably fix that.

Anything FB related in vB4 is out of scope and wont be worked on or even looked at.
The only reason it got that base file update is because someone provided the file, and adding it was a 5 second job.
(and could not actually make it any worse, since it was totally broken).
