Afternoon all!

We've just updated the Facebook login mechanism. Previously it was all php, now it uses the more common Oauth (also used by sites which let you log in with twitter and Gmail).

Our reasons for this are:

1. In future we may want to extend the ways you can log in with a single click - while opening it up for new users to join seamlessly from their other social spaces.

2. We had to. Facebook said we couldn't play any more unless we upgraded to Oauth! (As they did to everyone).

For those of you who log in using Facebook you should see no difference to the way the you log in - but if you do: please contact us!

Contact us here if you see any issues: [email protected]

Thank you.

I'm having problems I've never had! I type an answer, it comes up to log in, I use the FB option, it accepts but the answers don't post. I'm wondering if this will.

Why does the beautiful AB site have to become so involved with other social networking sites.??

I thought that too ron. I use this site for myself, not for the 'friends and family' to catch up with me. I like some privacy, lol.

Hi Ron & AYG, We've done this dance before. FB is just a passport to enter AB, nothing more in this case.

Postdog, can I assume that that post was successful?

Sorry Ed..but I don't see the need to enter AB via another site, when there is direct access to your domain.

No ed. before today, if i typed an answer to a question, it asked me to log in, so I clicked the FB option, and it logged me in AND posted what I'd typed. Now it logs me in but I have to re submit the answer.Also, it never keeps me logged in - if I navigate away (like use another tab, not shut down) I am asked to log in again. I think the latter is a quirk at my end though, cos it only happens on the lappy
