Facebook Integration
« on: January 02, 2010, 12:54:22 AM »
I am happy to report that I have installed a method that allows for integrating your Facebook account with the forums. This means...

1. New users who have a Facebook account can signup simply by clicking on the Facebook Connect icon at the top of the forum
2. Current users can link their own Facebook with their account
3. Current users can log into the forum (once they link their account) with their Facebook ID. (If you log into Facebook your logged into the site)

To link your account please go to the Profile -> Forum Profile menu. Then under "Modify Profile" select Facebook. From there its as simple as pushing connect!

Please let me know what you think. I am very happy with this mod and think it provides a much easier way to register here at the forum.  :yes:

I logged out of the forum and was logged into my Facebook, hit the Facebook button as a guest and it created a new account. Can you please deleted user Zach Land? :itsok:
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~
