Hello, just trying to hit the connect button on the forums to link on my F.B. account, it does nothing.
Is it broken or I have to do something else?
I'm logged into FB atm.

Edit:
Tried it from Mozilla FF as well, same, doesn't seem to work.

Re-Edit:
Link confirmed to be broken:

Yeah the link doesn't actually go anywhere:

<a href="#" id="fb_loginbtn"><img alt="The Facebook Platform" src="themes/wowcataclysm/misc/facebook_login.gif" title="The Facebook Platform"></a>

Gonna see if someone can fix it or just get rid of it because it does seem kinda pointless being there if it doesn't work lol.

Probably getting a fix soon:

Yeah I guess it was working in the past I believe as the FB id and information looks to be in the page. It'll be looked into :)

Usually when I see something like that it is so you can log in to the forum with your facebook account, however that particular function didn't work for me here, so I just registered an account via the forum's registration process :)

Yea exactly that's why I had to create an account via the forums registration as well, but the feature should work right?

Actually this is wrong. This is how the link appears in the source. I know of another site (modmyi.com) who also has this Facebook Connect, with this link, and it works fine.

Yea I've been using my FB account on some other forums/sites that allow FB profile linking, for example IGN, Gamespot, GameTrailers etc. so think it should be fixed rather than being removed :3 someone might still be able to link their facebook account and use the froums probably!
Thanks!
