Warren,
I split this into its own thread, as the other thread was from March. Since then, there's been multiple releases, and your issue is likely unrelated even if it has the same symptoms.
Re-ordering of the user items hasn't been required for over 6 months, and we agree, we didn't like it when we had that requirement
As for your issue, can you try, or let me know, the answers to any of the following:
1) Check the overview page of JFBConnect in the admin area, and let us know about any errors you're seeing there. Obviously, there shouldn't be any.
2) Enable the "Show Facebook API Errors on Front-End" setting in the Facebook API tab in the configuration area of JFBConnect. Let us know if any other errors show up when trying to log in in addition to the "We were unable to retrieve.." message.
3) Try enabling the Like button, or any other of the social widgets on your site to see if they work.
Any information you have on the above would really help us diagnose the problem. It's not a common issue, and is almost always very site (or configuration) specific, or else we'd have a fool-proof solution already built into JFBConnect.
Finally, if you can, please send me the URL of your site (via Private Message is fine) so we can take a look at the issue first hand. Sometimes, just seeing the HTML on your page will point out some obvious configuration problems.
Thanks,
Alex
