The post to wall is a feature of JFBConnect, and yes, it's meant to be used for promotion. I'm sorry you disliked the post, but on registration, the pop-up asks for posting permission, and that feature is one of the most used by our customers as a way to get word out about their site. It is easily deletable from your wall, and sorry for the inconvenience. I'd make sure you leave this disabled in your configuration of JFBConnect. Just so you know, we do not post to the wall on every login, just the original registration.

As for the issue, the Opera bug has been reported to Facebook and Opera many times (below is a link to just one example). It's worked on and off in the past, but it seems like now's an 'off' time. I tested on Michael's site in Opera and can see the XD proxy window fail to go away. However, in at least Opera's case, that's either in Facebook's or Opera's court as one of them is not behaving correctly, and there's not much we can do about it.

I've never seen it occur in Chrome, and still can't recreate on either site above (they both work fine for me). Can either of you try, in Chrome, using an 'Incognito Window' and try to log in? This window will be free of cookies, browser history, and cache, and may help eliminate some potential areas of issues. Unfortunately, we're throwing darts here, as this isn't a common issue, and likely lies in Facebook's own Javascript calls, so there's only so much we can do. We'll help debug and diagnose it in any way possible though.

Thanks!

About the post to the wall feature:
I understand, that many webmaster like this feature, but I would hihgly doubt, that user like it too... But it's ok, not my business :-)

About the Opera bug:
It's ok. Seems to be out ouf our hands, and at least on my site Opera is not widly used....

I tried it in Google Chrome in an Inkognito window, but it doesnt change anything.... Maybe it has to do something with the joomla admin? Because it seems to be that only the site administrators have this problems on their site? But then again: Why does it work in IE and Firefox?

We're still investigating, but no news yet. The Opera thing is out of our hands, but I'm worried the Chrome/Firefox issue is related to the Facebook Javascript as well, and may be unresolveable by us. We are still looking into it, but don't have a real good reason for it yet.

The idea of it being an admin issue is interesting. JFBConnect doesn't treat administrators different than regular users, so that shouldn't affect how they're logged in. However, if others on the thread are seeing this issue with admins only, that may help us out to figure out what the differences could be.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, and we'll let you know what we figure out.

Guys! Althought I've cleared my cache, history and everything! But chrome still doesn't connect. BUT in incognito mode, it does connect....as admin!

Facebook uses flash cookies for somethings. Could this be something to do with that?

By the way, chrome on ubuntu and chrome and windows have the same issue. Hope this helps. Thanks guys

I can vouch for other chrome users connecting to my site properly, but aren't admins.
