Steven P. Administrators Posted February 5, 2010 Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2010 We just enabled it for members and new registrations, not sure how it's that useful because it only appears to share the "Status update" with your profile status update. Configure it here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=members&area=facebook New registrations can connect with facebook to comment and post on Neowin, which is handy.

Dick Montage Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Nice feature! Is there a way to put my status in my sig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted February 5, 2010 Author Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2010 Yes, go to the link I provided and connect with Facebook, and then you'll have an option there to "sync" your status. It actually works too. Edit: Misread, maybe we can add that as a hack.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceDogg Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Could someone explain what it does? I have Facebook account, but what is the benefit of doing this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted February 6, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted February 6, 2010 For new users it basically lets them sign up instantly by using their Facebook details like usernames, passwords, email addresses etc. For pre-registerd users it just lets you sync certain Facebook info with your profile, like Status, Profile Pictures etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_Platform#Facebook_Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDogg Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Thanks jamesyfx. I guess I thought there was more to it. I see it's basically already been mention to some degree I just thought there was more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
