I did an .htaccess rewrite

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.springportmotorspeedway\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ springportmotorspeedway.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

It did not seem to make any difference..

The htaccess does not seem to be affecting - you should be redirected to non-www, which is not happening.

I suggest contacting the hosting company and ask them to help you set that htaccess. they might have some other methods of doing the redirection on their server.

I use Chrome normally.. but I just fired up FF.. and guess what.. it works the opposite way !

Now, the SCLog-in says I am not logged in, but the modules show that I am !

yes, that's how it should work.
the module relay on your FB session that is stored in the browser, while the login module, uses the site's session. a user can always be logged in to FB but not to your website.

if you want to achieve some sort of consistency, you could set JFBC to logout both J User and FB User when you click logout, but that won't prevent a returning user from being logged to FB once he lands on your website (while still logged out of it).

Hope that helps clarify things.

Mati - It is set to automatically log in though, and it doesn't. And it still doesn't work in Chrome. And in FF, it doesn't work unless I manually hit the log-in button. Nobody is going to go through all those steps, this is suppose to be ONE-STEP Registration and AUTOMATIC LOG-IN after you've registered. And it isn't doing that.

Patrick,
The automatic login functionality has a bug that's caused by a change Facebook made late last year. We're planning to have that fixed in the upcoming 4.2 release. Until then, it can (in some cases) take 2 page loads for the automatic login functionality to kick in. The first page load, a cookie is stored on the users computer, and on the 2nd page load, that cookie is detected and the user is automatically logged in.

I'm glad to hear you got it working in Firefox. As for Chrome, can you try on another computer? From your descriptions in all the posts, it seems like the cookie from Facebook isn't properly getting set. If you have privacy extensions installed or Chrome configured in a very private/secure manner, that could be the cause of the problems. If you can't try from another computer, can you at least try the following to see if it's a configuration setting in Chrome causing all your problems:
1) go to Wrench -> Tools -> Extensions and disable any addons you have enabled.
2) Go to Wrench -> Options -> Under the Hood. Make sure "Cookies" is set to "Allow local data to be set (recommended)" and that "Block third-party cookies and site data" is -not- checked.

Hopefully, that will get you going, but if not, as always, let us know. Finally, we do have a 30 day money back guarantee. You're just over 45 days, but we have agreements with our payment providers that we can actually provide refunds up until 60 days. If you'd prefer a refund if you're unhappy with JFBConnect and just don't think it's meant for you or your site, just let us know. However, we'd need to move on that soon to do so.

Thanks,
Alex

I don't want money back, I just want to get it working. :-)

I use a different log-in to go into the admin panel, then I do to surf the front side.. my admin panel username/pass is not tied to my facebook email.

Is there any chance that is conflicting ?
