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.

Just out of curiosity, why has the ability to post from the forums to Facebook & reply from Facebook been removed? Is it because of Facebook's ever-changing standards for posting? I'd very much like to integrate my Facebook group with my forums.

That sounds about right.
With the changing API modifications and additional rate-limiting in Facebook, it is difficult to support the many users that will have problems and questions. It becomes too time consuming in my opinion for a free application.
The good news is Facebook has outlined their ongoing rules for API/SDK changes. We now know that an old API (core routines) will still work for two years, regardless. That is good news, as many developers have been annoyed with their policy. (I doubt that Facebook really cares.)

I haven't been able to get this to function correctly. I click on "connect with facebook", it brings me to facebook to login, I login, then it redirects me back to the forum and says "An error occured while connect with Facebook. Please try again later."
Anyone have it working? Or anyone having the same problem?
