Default Facebook Profile Picture with FB Login on Quick Reply Box

When I browse many non-vBulletin sites, I often see my Facebook picture on a reply area similar to vBulletin's Quick Reply box. That setup allows me as a Facebook user to easily join with my FB credentials and reply to a thread that I might have been led to by a search engine.

Is there any 4.x mod to accomplish this?

Thanks. -- Rik

Generally, what you're seeing is one of two things. One is from Facebook's API, which is just Facebook comments in an iframe, essentially. The other is often a Disqus plugin.

Technically, vB already allows this if you tried to comment and your taken to a login page with the Facebook login button there. But that's less evident to a random visitor. Only thing I could think of is to include an FB login button near or around Quick Reply that's only visible to Guests. (Then again, I don't recall if QR can be made visible to Guests without allowing Unregistered Users to reply.)

I was unaware of the Disqus software but that seems to be what I've been seeing on other sites.

Maybe your suggestion of a FB login button near the Quick Reply box might be the best option for the time being. I just wish it could also include the Facebook profile picture.

Thanks for the suggestion. -- Rik
