Logging in with Facebook isn't pulling the vanity URL

I created my account with Facebook, but it didn't give me a profile URL based on my vanity URL. Instead it gave me a profile URL with a big long string of numbers.

Thanks for reporting! It seems that Facebook Graph API doesn't give away information about your username anymore; they actually go quite a length to hide that information. I wonder what prompted that API change.

I guess we will have to count on #8 as the only option for Facebook users to get a nice screen name. I'll close this out once the signup flow from Facebook is improved.

BTW, just yesterday I pushed a change that fixes an unrelated problem with Facebook that was a blocker from logging in, in case you were having trouble with that as well.
