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.

The idea of Facebook Connect is the user already done human verification and has a valid email address so it's not necessary to require email validation. And it's impossible also because we need the sending email permission in order to send email but if user can't log in, they won't be able to grant that email permission
When you log out of vBulletin, it's a required to log out of Facebook also to prevent a loop of logging in and logging out
Well, I use some hooks in the standard registration process to support other mods/hacks/products but sometimes, the other mod get conflicted with the Facebook registration. So, if you give me the name of the Introducing Thread, I will check it out and prevent future conficts
PS: FYI, the checkboxes are done :>
Since I validate email addresses the email and password box shows up for registration with facebook. The user inputs a email and they go strait to registered users. They can put in any email they want. So when I send my monthly news letter I will get email returns. Thus could cause my ip to be listed as spam. Just cause they login with facebook does not mean they will put a valid email.
I can deal with when they log out of vbulletin they are also logged out of facebook.
I thinks it was a fb problem cause now the comments are correct! I installed on my big forum...do you think it's possible to choose wheter the checkbox are checked by default or not?
first one...the template "fbb_navbar_button" don't show up in the navbar even if I have the line "$template_hook[navbar_buttons_right]" written correctly in the navbar template.
second one.. about the coding... now the a,è,ù,ì etc don't mess up in the notification but they are not displayed at all. But at lease there's no wierd symbols for them.
1) I tried to turn off "Auto Register", If I do that I can not see Facebook Connect button to Login, I also checked $template_hook[navbar_buttons_right] it is there.
2) I tried also with both (login+register) option turned on, Now I can see Facebook Connect button but I can not register with or without email address, I think this is because of vMail - Verify Mail before registration.
Code:
Sorry, your e-mail address is incorrect (does not match the verification code).
I changed the code to display the Facebook Connect button correctly even if you disable the auto register function. It will be include in the next version
About vMail. I have checked that product. They use hard-coded template edit so from outside I can't make it work this time. You have 2 options (in case you want to use this Facebook Bridge and it's registration process):
Stop using vMail
I will alther the code and temporary disable vMail in Facebook Bridge registration process.

Well, I changed the code to meet your requirement. The new files will be included in the next release.
About Force Intro On Register. I looked at their code and it seems to be fine. You talked something about the error only happens on the index list. Can you describe more about it or take a screenshot (which is better). Thanks

Which template contain the template_hook? Is it navbar or header?
Hmm, the encoding issue is a tough one. I currently have no idea though
