I'm not sure. I can recreate what your saying. The javascript library that's being loaded through https, which should tell Facebook to load it's stuff securely. From a quick search, it seems that they don't host their profile pictures on a secure server that can be accessed through the way we show it.

I think there's a way around this that we could implement instead of their XFBML method for getting the profile pic, but not sure. Again, all I can say is "we'll investigate". Sorry for the issues. Hopefully you can live without an avatar for right now, if https is critical for your site.

hi alex,

i hope you will find a solution as soon as possible. it seems that there is a lot of problems. i can say that you have a great support but if the product was perfect the time that you will consume on support will reduce amazingly.
hope to here from you soon, my site is an e-commerce site, i need a secure site, i don't understand how your other clients didn't notice that, or maybe they found a solution. i can say that the avatar is important - its an indication to people that they are connected via facebook.

Nothing's perfect, and in many cases, we're at the mercy of Facebook. They make changes and have plenty of their own implementation issues, which is what we spend a lot of our time 'working around'. Fortunately, most user's don't experience issues, but a few seem to experience more than their share, and are usually related to the same cause... in your case, a non-English language, which Facebook itself is mostly handling poorly, not JFBConnect, we're helping you get around their problems. Same with this avatar issue, they're responding with a non-secure image.

We just released version 3.1 of JFBConnect. While we don't think the updated version will fix your issues directly, it fixes and improves quite a few other areas.

As for the avatar itself, we're still investing a solution that we think should work for you. It will require a minor PHP code change to the JFBCLogin module if it works, but we're still unable to be certain that Facebook actually hosts the avatars on a secure CDN anywhere. From the reading we've done, they don't do this, which means there may not be a workaround.

I didn't forget. I posted a response to that question in the thread below:

I wasn't exactly sure what you meant with the Fanbox, but gave a suggestion for the Invite module.
