Facebook SDK - Get User ID

Question

Hi

I am working with the Facebook SDK for Unity.

I am trying to get the user id of the Facebook user logged in. I log in and I get an id, but when checking it with this site, the numbers differ. The numbers on that site are a lot shorter vs what is retrieved from the Facebook SDK:

Any ideas why?

I know this site id works, because when entering it here it goes to my profile: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=xxxxxxx

Thanks, Chris

In v2.0 of the Facebook API user ID's from new logins have been changed to App Scoped ID's. This means a Facebook user's ID will be different on each application they log into.
