New Feature Logging in with your FACEBOOK account

[administrator]

I will be adding a new feature to the site shortly. You will now be able to login to the site with your facebook account with Facebook Connect.

Benefits of Facebook Connect

• Users can simply login with their Facebook account without going through the registration process.
• Increase user interaction and your traffic through Facebook notifications and news-feeds!

Features
Facebook users will be able to receive Facebook notifications when:

• There is a reply to their thread or a thread that they're subscribing to
• They receive a new PM

News-Feed will be published on to the user's wall when the user:

• Logs in for the first time
• Replies to a thread
• Creates a new thread

Fetch user data from Facebook
Fetch data like name, location, profile picture and use it on your forums! (NOTE: Some data may not be available for some users)

Automatically befriend user's friends
If any of the user's friends are also registered on the forum, they will automatically be friends!

Will this somehow increase traffic here Kevin?

Just because somebody is registered here and on facebook does not make them my friend right? Because I see Josh Adams is registered in facebook, and I do NOT want him to have access to my facebook page in anyway. I want nothing to do with him or his fake girlfriend.

Traffic could be increased since you will have the option of easily posting a thread onto your profile if you want to, which people can then click on to read. Maybe that will bring some new blood.

As far as friends, you still control your friends. Nothing you do here affects your facebook page and who your friends with.

Good. Funny, I checked out Josh's my space page or whatever that site was several weeks back. While it was up to date, no mention of any friends named Heyli. If she were so important in his life so recently, wouldn't she be mentioned? Or is it she is not real? Just wondering Kevin. Ban "both" names.

OK, in order to use this feature you will need to logout and re-login using the FBCOnnect button under the login box.

There are some issues with existing users using their FB ID's. If you see any problems, please let me know.

While I'm creeped out by the fact that clarke is so interested in my personal life, I can assure you I've not been on myspace in probably a year. Maybe less but if I did it was only to checked my inbox. As far as I remember it is set to private so I'm not sure how you could have checked it out, but if you did who I do or do not have as friends is irrelevant.

Can we consider his above post bait?
