What should happen
A person with an existing forum account clicks the Connect with Facebook button. They authorize my Facebook app. They are then presented with an option of selecting a nickname for the forum, or linking to an existing forum account. They choose existing, enter their forum credentials and are now signed in.

Posts that they make are updated on their Facebook Wall.

They leave my site, shut down their computer for the day. The next day, they sign-in to Facebook. Then in another browser tab, they open my forums. The forums should detect that they are signed-in to Facebook and automatically sign them into the forums, using their original forum account (which is now connected to Facebook).

What actually happens
Every time an existing user visits the forums, if they don't select Connect with Facebook, they get logged in the "old way" (no Facebook connection). And if they do select Connect with Facebook, they are prompted (again) to select a nickname or choose an existing account. This should not happen, right?

Is there something wrong with my install of this mod, or is this the way it "works?" Because this seems very wrong.

For what it's worth, this mod seems to work great for Facebook users who don't already have a forum account; the problem is really only with existing forum users.

If you'd like to check it out, I'm using the mod at this site: http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/

Yes, they get logged in the old way with the old details but that account will still be paired to Facebook and the user will still get the alerts and notifications on Facebook. I just checked this and it's working fine. I don't think it's meant to sign you into the forums automatically.
