Once you've clicked the connect button the Facebook API Javascript takes over (out of our hands), it's possible the API does not operate too well in IE or there is possible a conflict. It's likely possible there is a JS conflict within IE8 that's resulting in such an issue as I could not duplicate on our demo site here . Please check your browsers error console as well as server error log to see if there is any issues. Please ensure you've configured your application according to the instructions provided via the documentation.

Hi again
I have now checked my server error log, turned of DEBUG to see if there is a JS Conflict. But I can't see anything wrong. I am not skilled enough to know exactly what it is I should look for or how to fix this problem.

I am using the IE 8 Compability Plugin (extensions.joomla.org/extensions/style-a-design/browsers-a-web-standards/7623) as well. I have tried to turn it off, but then the FBC pop-up does not load the Facebook login at all, it only load's my web-site inside the pop-up.

How can I adress this problem?

Please PM backend login credentials and will attempt to find the conflict; please note I am not able to duplicate on our live demo site or locally, which would indicate a conflict of some sort (very likely is JS related). Please note I may need to make changes to your installation and recommend creating a back-up before sending credentials, thank you.

Enabling debug mode revealed fatal PHP errors in your installation. Please enable debug mode and maximum error reporting then address all fatal errors as necessary. The following is as I've experienced.

Fatal errors PHP or JS can cause the plugin to fail. I have also confirmed users are created, but likely due to errors the page is not refreshed or redirected properly thus user is not logged in. In a second attempt to sing in via facebook the user will login correctly.
