Hi Kyle,
I used to get avatar and canvas from Facebook upon registration via Facebook using the CB Connect module. Now suddenly it stopped working. Once I delete the avatar and canvas transferral then it starts working again.

Could you please check what the problem is?

Still works fine in my tests.

Don't understand what you mean by this. It's working, but not working?

I mean that facebook connect works in general IF I do not have Avatar and Canvas being taken over from FB. No problems there.

Problem: When Avatar and Canvas fields are taken over from FB, then it simply stops working. What I am guessing is that Facebook changed in some ways and is now actively blocking Avatar and Canvas field taking over.

Please note that I have the permissions on my Facebook app set to "public_information" only (not requesting any other permissions from FB).

You don't map Avatar or Canvas fields. That's entirely handled automatically. There is no enabling/disabling that functionality. Avatar and Canvas synchronization on registration is working fine in my tests and I see no changes in their API regarding either. Within your Facebook Application click Settings > Advanced and check "Upgrade All Calls" is set to. I've tested v3.0 for compatibility. v3.1 has not been tested, but should work fine based off the changelog.
