Johan,
The feature to automatically post on registration and login has been removed in v5.1. In v5.0, we had a note at the top of that configuration section noting that it was no longer recommended and actually violated Facebook's recent Policy updates.
We recommend moving to using Open Graph Actions to post 'actions' that users are taking on your site (like reading, commenting, voting, etc) or the new Action buttons which a user can click, enter a message, tag friends, and add a location too. Those Open Graph Actions are what Facebook wants user's to use as they have more social context and the user is aware of them being made.
I hope that helps explain,
Alex
