Facebook and BKforum linked any way???

Your friends can see which applications you use, yes.

I just found it on my facebook applications page also. Can my facebook "friends" see this application of mine somehow?

Crap, I am 100% positive I've never clicked on anything FB on this site, but it was listed with my applications as well. Can someone get this figured out? I will have to request my account be deleted here if it keeps linking the two sites together. That's not okay with me at all.

Then I'm clueless why they'd connect?

I originally did the 'Connect with Facebook' thing because I couldn't get the confirmation email to actually arrive in my inbox, had a BKForum profile that could read but not post/reply/respond. So after a few days of fighting with that, tried the Connect w/ Facebook.

That same thing happened to me!!! I couldn't get a confirmation email either - this WAS using my email address that I have for facebook. So I just created a totally new account -- new user name and another email address, and it worked then. I wonder if facebook is trying to connect with that first account that never got set up????

They're not automatically connected - but if you've ever 'logged in thru Facebook', or something like that, then yes you have connected them. I did the same - but changed the permissions so nothing is posted from BKForum on my FB page.

Once it got back on there this 2nd time, I looked at it closer. The permission box is not checked (thank goodness) which explains why nothing is getting posted on my facebook wall itself. But I'm still at a loss at to why it keeps connecting the two. I know for a fact I didn't sign up initially that way. I did again - after it got reinstalled the 2nd time - actually clicked that link on the sign in screen here (connect through facebook), and it brought me to an option I haven't seen before at all --- so I don't even think I've accidentally clicked that button in the past. Don't know what is going on -- ??

I went to my Facebook and it was there also, so I deleted it. Thank you for posting and letting us know.

I just went to my FB and noticed it too. Pretty sneaky.. I am an avid computer user and am a nut about security.. It got me.. thanks for posting.

You're welcome - but now if I can only figure out how to make it STOP reinstalling it!!

When you first created your BKForum login, if you did it by 'connecting with FB' instead of signing up w/ an email address: that may be why. If I'm right (just a theory) then each time you login to BKF then it uses your Facebook account to verify your identity.

If you stay logged in to BKF, and remove it as an app from FB, it may stay gone?

You could always look into creating an account at BKF from scratch, re-registering?

But I didn't -- didn't even know that was an option until today. That's what is so weird. I even use a different email address for this account than I do for my facebook account. I just registered as a new user when I found this site - confirmed with the link sent to my email - and here I am. Didn't know it had anything to do with facebook at all.

GRR!!! Just looked, and it's back on the application list again??? How do I stop it from doing that? It's not posting anything on my facebook wall but why does it keep connecting the two?

[ssmdem]

Have you ever clicked the 'login with Facebook' option on BKforum? If you now have it set to remember you, you won't see it... If you log out, you should. I think its just an alternate way of starting/confirming an account instead of doing a confirmation link thru email.

Correction: I just logged out and checked, it says Connect with Facebook.

AHA!!! I bet that's it. I just logged out too and saw that. No, didn't knowingly click it, but I can't say I didn't click it by accident when signing on. I have clicked "Remember Me" so I don't have to sign in everytime here, so no telling when I did that and how long it's been there.

Oh well - that makes sense now. I didn't know what you meant earlier when you said "Log in through Facebook" Makes total sense now! Thanks!

Well, I don't have a Facebook account so I really can't comment further.

There is a add on module to the forum that allows you to use your facebook login to create an account here - maybe you used it?
