Integration with vBulletin - YAFB - Yay! Another Facebook Bridge

The add-on has been updated to reflect Facebook new policy starting October 1st (read more here). Basically this is a maintenance update for user of this add-on from the past. The add-on now supports vBulletin 3.8.x only. In this new version, there are only the basic features: register and login (some simple sharing too). It keeps old settings so you don't need to re-configure.

How to update (this is important):
1. Disable the add-on in AdminCP
2. Upload files in the package (make sure you disable the add-on before uploading)
3. Import the xml in the package, choose Yes to rewrite.
4. Re-enable the add-on
5. Done

Just remember to disable the add-on before uploading files and you will be okie.

Also one more thing.. Is there a way to NOT have the facebook options already checked when posting a new thread or replying to one. such as

Post one line Story
Post Comment

Can these just be listed and the member has to check the box each time they want either option?

Member can use the option called "Always display checkboxes for available actions"

Scary hah?
I think it's a problem between your server and Facebook server which prevent the product to communicate properly. It's great to see it works (again)

agreed. This has to be there. I'll be waiting till this is fixed before installing this version.

btw...Thanks MrPaint for all the great work on this mod.

Upon many requests for Forum Restriction feature, I will add it as soon as possible and maybe I will release a minor update for it soon.
