After connecting we are using your profile image from Facebook. If there is a reasonable demand to change this behavior, we could work on it. Still though, the simplest solutions go first.

Agreed. I won't link my Facebook account then, as I'd like to use a different avatar here.
The real benefit is for new users that will find it even easier to sign up though, not for existing users like myself, so it's not a major issue at the moment.

I would be nice if there was a module or something that would allow me to put a facebook connect button anywhere on a site so that a person could click and join without having to go to first click the "create account" on the login status. This would make it easy to show everyone who visits that they have that option and create a shortcut for them. Would this ever be possible?
EricT, I'd suggest hiding that link completely with CSS and getting people to sign up with a Join module instead.
This has the added benefit that they automatically become members of your site as well… whereas the "create account" link only gives them a Wikidot account that is not a member of any site.

Try this:
.login-status-create-account, #login-status span { display: none !important; }

The obvious extension to this would be a link from a person's Wikidot profile to their Facebook profile.
That way we can find the entire life history of all the Wikidot staff.
…BTW, any plans for Google+ or Diaspora?
Oh heavens, why are we linking to a site that doesn't know how to deal with personal information. Please never make this mandatory!
Is this wikidot choosing sides between Facebook and Google+ in the social networking war? :o
I never say anything useful do i HAHA.
Omnia mutantur, nihil interit.
We are not going to make Facebook Connect obligatory at any time. I can see no point in doing so.
Also, we are not choosing any sides in any war, just trying to do what we think is best for our project at this point. And we definitely think an easier sign-up is needed. Facebook Connect was the most obvious choice for us.
Still not sure about Twitter sign-in, we do not want to lose any more simplicity. Personally I am getting lost if a site I am going to sign up to offers to many options.
Cheers!
