Exactly. The user still is created and exists in the database, however their password remains @ facebook, and their email is proxied through facebook.

One thing to note though is that this skips a LOT of the usual 'registration' protocol. So, if say you have vbcredits and are running a membership drive, those will need to be given manually to the facebook users.

The only thing "special" about these users is their proxy mail and password storage, so yes, that would be a correct assumption, however, as the author has said in the initial release, and I've said a few times now, do not put them in the original usergroup. Create a duplicate of the original usergroup, put them in that. This will make things soooo much easier if/when the inevitable comes and facebook completely changes things making this app useless, and the developer doesn't fix things in time. This way, you can isolate the problem users and change their emails if necessary.

Their account is linked via their email address, not their usergroup, so yes.

Yes

Whatever you'd like it to, within reason. Currently, it can pull up (supposedly)

First Name
Last Name
UID
Name
Location
Facebook Profile URL
Profile Picture (small,square or normal)

You can djust how this is mapped in the FBconnect options -> data mapping setup. I have noticed a few problems with it, but not many.
