Facebook Connect

[Loki]

Apricity is now facebook-enabled (see the f Connect sign in the banner).

This means that facebook users can log in via their facebook accounts, and participate on the forum as other registered members, without having to register on Apricity.

Current members are also now able to log in via their facebook accounts.

But still a great feature. :thumb001:

You can't have two accounts. If you log in via facebook it will use your existing account.

Doubt any existing member would connect their account with their facebook. New members probably would not either. And no, it has nothing to do with your political orientation.

Excuse my off-topic Loki. But I was wondering if you ever considered enabling the option of having multiple flags on the user's profile like they have on other forums? :thumb001:

Well being a National Socialist for example or believing in certain things in this brainwashed world and putting it out there with your name is not a good idea... :lol: Especially with Facebook...

It is an option, but it would necessitate me to change the profile structures. I'm not sure ...
