Have installed an experimental release that features latest PHP API provided by Facebook. Please confirm if you're still having issues. Again, I was able to login successfully.

I have no idea, I've explained several times it is external API. I can't fix what's broken on their end. I also can't account for the hundreds of privacy settings Facebook offers which could cause their API to send back nothing. I've confirmed working on YOUR own site. Whether it works for your account or not I again can't account for as no two accounts are configured the same. This has been an ongoing issue with zero leads, I've installed a special release on your site using their exact API library completely untouched and it too is failing for you. Am still looking into this issue, but right now I have no answer to offer sorry.

I'm sorry, I didn't meen to sound ungrateful. You've been nothing but help to me. It's just very frustating to know someone else is able to login and I can't, no mather what account I use. I've set de privacy settings to my own account to everybody for everything, yet still no luck.

IE and ff don't give me any errors anymore, no fatal js errors or anything, so that's progrese i think. After trying to login in I am logged into facebook...so that connection is made. It doesn't seem te be creating a new account however, because I'm still not logged in on the website itself....but i'm not recieving the failed error anymore either! It just keeps asking me to login.........

To test if your facebook data is even remotely public use the below URL to see results.

graph.facebook.com/FACEBOOK_ID

Replace FACEBOOK_ID with your actual Facebook ID, Facebook URL name, or if can't find either use "me" (without quotes). If nothing returns, not even Name then your privacy settings are locking out the API.

Was able to confirm among other developers and Facebook team there is an issue with their API and CURL calls. Have also found a workaround to be implemented with next release.
