For newer Facebook users (users who have created accounts in the last 60 days or so - it's hard to get an exact timeframe), the login panel won't show their name or profile picture. Also, the user information in the WP-Admin system doesn't have their name either. Their name does show down by the comment box by a post though.
I've setup myself a test facebook account to try to troubleshoot this and been through every privacy setting I can think of. Using other facebook connect sites worked just fine with the account - just not a wordpress site. I've tried to trouble shoot the code, but had little success.
I've tried different versions of the WP-FacebookConnect plugin. I'm even currently using the development version. It hasn't seemed to make any difference.

I have the same issue.
The plugin works well - people can connect and post comments with their full name shown next to their comment.
However, when I go to the admin panel to take a look at the user database, I noticed that their first and last name fields are not filled in (and they do not have any picture) - so all i know is their fb123457 userid number. This information is insufficient because i have no way of knowing who is who (eg to ban them) once i go to the admin view.
is there a way to fix this bug where FBconnect does not fill in their names or pictures to the user database?

I've tried to go through the code for the WP-FBConnect and I cannot seem to find the part where the database is populated with the FB data. If somebody points me in the right direction, I can poke/prod/tinker with the code and see if it works. Thanks in advance!
