maybe vbulletin should offer Facebook app hosting like https://apps.vbulletin.com/licensenumber/
HTTPS REQUIRED ? Now you tell me after I've purchased ? - that sucks!

I just started reading the documentation after purchasing the Facebook App for multiple sites and the second item I see which it appears you guys conveniently gloss over or even fail to mention in any of your promotion emails is that anyone running a forum must add HTTPS and this requires the purchase of an SSL certificate which basically doubles or triples the cost of your facebook application to the user not to mention the time required to add mod-ssl to apache, modify apache config files, test and so on... what a crock of cow dung!
needless to say I am not happy with your convenient oversight of this fact. I assume you guys include the cost of the SSL certificate in the cost of the app - where do I get my free certificate vbulletin people?
I thought it was well known that FB was switching everything to SSL anyway. Besides, why would you purchase software without knowing the requirements first?Comment

I am agree with you. I requested refund today but answer is negative. I read shared SSL can work. But i found out it doesnt. My host company want 50 dollars per a year. And also they said if i want to use my own SSL they will charge 10 dollars for installiton. This is stupid. After paying 99 dollars i have to spend extra money yearly for this application!!! They dont want to refund plus they give you hassle to sell it too. Vbulletin your customer satisfaction sucks!Comment

Well I still dont get why you cant get your application back and refund? After paying 99 dolars for this application now i have to pay 50 dolars per a year for SSL plus to have SSL i have ti have private Ip which is 2 dollars/month. I dont think only my host company has rip off merchants maybe you can check yourself too. At least my host company redy to refund me anytimeComment

They cost as low as $8.95 per year.
Your hosting provider uses cPanel which provides all the tools you need to install an SSL certificate yourself for free. It literally takes seconds to do. When you purchase from the link above, they even give you instructions on how to do it.Translations provided by Google.

Wayne is right, you need SSL or your Facebook apps will not work. This is not a vBulletin requirement, but rather a Facebook one.Comment

Yeah kinda. It's more like buying a truck, didn't realize it runs on diesel, then going back to the dealer and complaining because diesel costs more, demanding they pay for the fuel or refund the cost of the truck completely. The dealer will say "um, clearly this is a diesel truck, it sounds like a diesel truck, it even says so on the window sticker". Should the dealer refund the truck? Sure, but you're still incompetent, not the dealer.Comment

Not every host company give u access to root. So mine charged 10 dollars for it. plus i need to pay 24 dollars per yearly for ip to use ssl. If you want to use this app u need to spend extra nearly 50 dollars every year. Well is it worth definately not. Facebook will use its own ads. And you will give platform to use it. Well this app is costly, buggy, useless.I know vbulleting dont refund. I would like to return it as half price refund or want to sell it(vbulletins bad customers service doesnt let this even)..Comment

Weird I never needed root to generate my ssl signing request or to install it
Got my first two dedicated ups free then additional was only like $1.50 so like $12-$15 year and SSL for free
You can get ssl as low as like $10 year even cheaper if prepay for 3-5 years..
To me sounds like your host like to over charge (highway robbery)------------------------------------------
