It was the hell of a job fixing icomancer's registration/login through Facebook. After several hours fighting with the Facebook API, we discovered that, for a reason we still don't know, launching the Facebook's login form on a popup window was messing with all the thing.

The most curious thing is that the same behavoir was caused no matter which OS version/IE version was being used.

So we went over a fix that is effective... but ugly: launching the FB login form inside the small frame that is being filled: for new account registering or for existing account login.

Now... we've detected a weird behavoir: new user registration thru FB works fine, but logging in thru FB has a small issue. You have to hit the "Login with Facebook" button, enter your info, then, when you're redirected back to icomancer server's page, you'll get a "Can't get your profile" message. If you just hit the "Login with Facebook" button again, you'll then be set accordingly.

Please note that there's nothing to be downloaded, for this fix was made over the server-side scripts. By the next update we'll enlarge that window so the FB login page is fully shown in both frames.

Please reply to this post if you get any problem.
