Looking over some of those issues mentioned in that post, I don't know if I totally agree with all of them.

1) Changes to Facebook or vBulletin in the future may render this mod incompatible, relying then on support from the developer to bring this mod back in line; if hundreds of administrators are relying on support from a sole developer who decides they are no longer bothered to upgrade for future facebook/vBulletin releases, this will have huge implications for incorrect login functions for potentially millions of registered members across the vBulletin communities.
Well, this much I can agree with. However, this is nothing unique to this mod. Every mod on this site suffers from that one drawback of free thrid-party modifications.

Quote:

2) Facebook partially holds registration details of members, eg. email addresses and passwords. If this mod was ever ditched, I could in theory have thousands of members unable to log in to my forum unless each account was manually altered in admincp. Registered members are unable to do this themselves as changes to email addys or passwords would not be possible as vBulletin would not recognise their original/old details. A logistical nightmare for administrators of large vB communities.
I think the only issue here is if the proxy email address no longer functions, which if I'm not mistaken, is soley the process of the Facebook Developer application. I'm just guessing here, but I would think as long you keep the application active in your Facebook Developer account, this should still always work.

3) It appears that facebook Connect users cannot be contacted via mass email or mass PM add-ons as such users are not found within the database. This effectively renders the use of these important functions useless in the long-term. Especially important should the need arise above where they must take action to continue to log in to the messageboard.
I don't understand this one. How are the users able to post, or even exist, if they're not in the database?

One thing I'd like to ask, and I haven't installed this mod yet because of this announcement:
Starting at 12:01 a.m. EDT on Saturday, June 13, you'll be able to choose a username on a first-come, first-serve basis for your profile and the Facebook Pages that you administer by visiting www.facebook.com/username/. You'll also see a notice on your home page with instructions for obtaining your username at that time.
My question is, once this new facebook username comes into effect, will this mod be updated to use the username of the facebook Member and if I decided to install this prior to the new facebook username addition, what will it use? What information will be displayed on the forum currently as their username?

Thanks for this mod, I look forward to installing it on our forum.

sorry i actually get this

The requested URL /forum/xd_receiver.htm was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

TNCclubman 06-10-2009 01:19 PM

you might want to uninstall this before that date until a fix comes out. wouldnt want to risk all kinds of errors come saturday morning.

Digital Jedi 06-10-2009 01:24 PM

I kind of doubt there will be any errors. You'll still be able access your account using your user ID number.
