I got a lot of users being mapped to facebook user id 2147483647. this
number is the maximum value of a mysql INT(11) field. i assume this happened
because modern facebook IDs can be very long. to solve it, i changed the
type of the fb_user_id in the use map table to BIGINT(20).

i hope it will help...

please repair this error for the next release.

cheers,
jeroen

Wow, that's great timing, and a terrible problem. Thanks for reporting it, it will definitely be in the 2.5 release.

Thank you very much for reporting it. We test with a handful of Facebook accounts, which obviously were created a while ago (hence, lower FB Ids), and would have missed this. The next version will automatically update the column (for previous users) to the larger size on installation.
