No support by the author.
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.

Well, this is Facebook's policy since each application only work within a base domain. This is necessary to prevent abuse and protect members privacy I think. So, maybe there is no solution for this issue. I'm sorry
Understandable, but how does the bridge do user validation? I.E. if I create a user for myself, and I try to sign up again, the system automatically knows that it's me and logs me right in.
Well, other services are not in my list currently. But I will see if I can do something

Could you make the profile position an option in the next release?
Thanks.
Are you using vBulletin 3.6.x?

I think this facebook login mod has become the official good one. Supported, features added by request, this guy is sick!
Hey man, I'm not sick Just wanna make time goes faster these days... OMG, it's still running too slow
Anyway, if you haven't noticed yet. I have release the version 1.9. The important feature in 1.9 is Avatar Synchronizing. Check it out and give me feedbacks (as you always do)
Special note to redlabour: I improved the register/login interface. The flow is changed a little bit, so... do the test and tell me if it's better now. Thank you
Ok, but what does it compare to:from? It looks like it compares the Facebook pulled userid to the stored fbuid in the user table, but something doesn't quite match up.
For instance, if I setup two identical applications, and repoint the application to use the second one, you would have to setup a new user as it wouldn't recognize my login correctly.

If no check had been done before, the check will be implement as a javascript scope. The flow is below
Check for Facebook session
If session found, send the associated facebook uid via ajax to our server
Server check to see if that facebook uid is connected and the forum member enabled the auto-login feature. If everything is found and matched, server return a positive flag, otherwise, server will send a negative one
The javascript code receives the response and redirect to login page (do the cookie, forum's session things) if it found a positive flag
The javascript code marked (using cookie) as the check has been done and store a time note to prevent future check
That's how things are going
Edit: Oops. If you replace the API key with the 2nd application's one, from our forum, we won't able to check for connected user who connected with us using the 1st application's API key. Everything should be done using only one API key. The relationship is 1-to-1. If you decide to change, I suggest you to uninstall the product and import the xml file again...
the fan page still freezes my browser. but im happy
If you disable the Experimental settings from AdminCP, the link will not be shown up (and it won't work either, opening that link will result in a blank page). I haven't improve that script, yet :P
