Just click the "Connect with Facebook" icon when you go to login.
If you are logged into Facebook, you will be logged into Bananas once you link the two together. Otherwise it will prompt you to login to Facebook the first time.
It's really easy and if you have an existing account you can still link it to your Facebook account. I actually recommend everyone connect their accounts, it opens up a world of more networking that becomes possible.
Just log out and you will see the "Connect with Facebook" icon, and then when it asks you to pick a new username, just select where it says below that something along the lines of "I already have an account" if you just want to link your existing Bananas account with your Facebook account.

This will help us grow because its now a lot easier to join.

A watershed moment if I do say so myself.

If you notice anything strange with it, bugs, etc.. just let me know. I am aware of a few small things with it that will be improved, but please be sure to let me know if you spot anything odd when using it.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy, it was hard work but I got it figured out and it works pretty good. Log out and you will see what I mean...

You know, Jarred, when (not if, because it's a matter of time) the FB falls, I hope these upgrades won't cripple this site. They are being put in some major areas of forum functionality. I hope it's you, who wrote the plugin as a forum/FB interface, otherwise... some Alex Jones styled advice follows. ;)

I didn't write it from scratch... but what I used was not designed for our version of forum software. So it needed heavy modifications.
In addition, the wireframe that this Facebook Connect integration was based off of was very outdated and needed to be brought current with the changes over the past few years. Like you said, it changes over time.
A lot needed to be done to integrate Facebook with Bananas.
It's my responsibility to maintain it and I think that will not be a problem. Wish me good luck!
