I use this as an end-user on OhioSweetheart's site. Have never been logged out after closing the browser.

Without any issues meaning that you didn't have to edit anything to get polls working? Of course not, because, again, even on their site that does that.

Haven't tried polls. I find internet polls to be completely useless at providing any real information. Regardless of the software involved.

There are a number of issues with this mod. Admittedly, some of them are small, but a lot of them are pretty major.

Haven't really seen anything major. Occasionally, I get an application connect error when it tries to post to my wall but that is a Facebook issue. I get the same thing on Facebook's own site all the time. Even when OhioSweetheart had issues on the same site, I couldn't recreate them not matter what I tried.

Personally, I hope to install this but since it is a beta I haven't had the time to install a dedicated testbed before installing it on my live site. That it is still marked as installed on a decent number of sites means some people are using it without problem.

The one and only reason that I uninstalled this mod last night is because of the increasing amount of spam that comes through it. I am banning upwards of 6-10 spammers on any given day.

Yes I use Akismet, as well as Adrian's anti-spam mod, along with vBs other anti-spam features. Additionally, new members have to verify their email address, and new members can't post links in their posts or sigs until they've made 5 posts.

Doesn't matter. This mod does not obey permissions. They can log in using FB, yahoo and google friends and spam to their hearts' content.

This is why I uninstalled it.

@ Wayne. Alot of people have uninstalled it. They just don't always come back here to change it to uninstalled.

Is it possible to set, that only already registered users can connect with their facebook account?

It is a function of the mod. They will need to logout, then login using the Facebook button for the first time. Once in they can link the account by entering their local username and password.

The second step directions appear to be incomplete :

Validation failed.

Base Domain is not valid. Connect URL must be derived from your Base Domain.

The connect URL is based on the base domain.

the second line is connect to authentication tab, then..

I put the link to the forums in the post authorize field.

I agree, but since when have they been enforced? It seems like most people are only mad about this because it's from IB. Don't hold them any higher than you would anybody else here or you will be disappointed.

Hopefully they are able to work on some of the issues discussed here and update it. Obviously it has been hurting their credibility a little.

Well, I couldn't get the "Facebook Connect" mod from here to work (which also has terrible support on it, seeing as people are +++++ing about support, even tho mods are free), so I installed this on my site and it worked fist time, I have experienced NO ERRORS so far. I followed the readme to the letter and everything turned out fine...

[ZiG]

you know the table with the facebook connect and it says
"New! Use your Facebook, Google, AIM & Yaho..."
where do i go to edit the text in that table? or what class is that table (alt1,alt2,thead?) so i can modify it a bit?
