And for Vbulletin 3.8 ?

Looking good as usual, thanks guys! :)

Not working:(

How does this play with the default facebook connect, should we disable it?

Interesting stuff, thanks. But, what are the cons? I mean, what's in for your company? Or other said it doesn't look like you make this only for a better world. Is a link set to your site, do you share/collect user data?
Edit: Ok, just saw on your website that you offer different tariff plans based upon monthly login numbers.

I would hazard a guess that they will force you onto this...

I'd like to know
- Does it play nicely with the intergrated facebook connect?
- what happens to existing accounts, if I uninstall the mod?
- Is the 2,500 limit new registrations per year or a hard limit?

Thanks for the feedback guys. I was the developer on this project.

@edenx we don't have any plans for supporting earlier versions of vBulletin. Feel free to submit your request to feedback.janrain.com

@NTT we'll release a final version as soon as we're confident that the plugin works in a variety of server environments. We've tested it internally but there's always some unexpected results when you release something into the wild.

@gamerzhut can you provide some details over at support.janrain.com? This is precisely the feedback we're looking for - making the product more stable.

@nitra1000 it should work fine with the integrated facebook connect, although the accounts won't be mutually accessible. An account created with Janrain Engage (even if Facebook is the selected provider) won't be accessible by authenticating through the integrated facebook connect, nor the other way around. If you uninstall the mod the existing accounts remain but because they have no passwords the users will no longer be able to sign in.

The Basic/Free plan allows for 2,500 users per year

So once over 2,500 registered users, a board is forced to start paying or loose those 2,500 members? In my case that means over $2,250 per year.
