and future versions of yabb should be even easier to use as we do need a better way of organizing it especially with all the new features and features still to come.

Good point. Our forum happens to be visited by many people throughout the world, so as an example, we've ended up with a good number of people from Russia who've registered in our forum.

Interesting side note, and I guess it's just part of human nature's voyeuristic tendencies, only a relatively small number of people visiting the main pages of our site actually visit our forum (and even far less register, let alone actually participate online).

Looking ahead to the future, I can see the day when each of us simply has just one ID that enables us to join different kinds of online media outlets, including other forums, etc.

Or maybe 2 identities depending on how a person might choose to live their life.

what is the error they get is it just the generic you are banned messages as it has been a bit from the last time I looked at that part.

I have seen the same there are also some sub-items I think we need to look at as well as if you did not know they where there you start looking where you think they are but are not one more one more thing i find a bit off is that backup by default is off and i have always thought that it's default should be on and set to 2 or 5 days and also that if there is no backup at all you get a constant warning that you have no backup and are at risk of data loss.

i think i was the first to ask can we get a facebook sign up/in all the way back to 2.3.1 as by that point I had seen that most of the people coming to my forums where on facebook and i only know this as at that time i had a share to facebook on them with a counter of how many times it was used and i could at the time check that it was posted to facebook as after every share to facebook click facebook did a link check even if it was the same link but now facebook saves that it has been to that link and if it is ok or not also at the same time forums I was on was seeing members move from the forum to groups on facebook and those forums that did not make a group on facebook ended up all most dead with only 5 or 8 members left active and now I see even more websites with and one of the good parts with the facebook sign up/login is that the the API system still works the same with how the calls are made and for me the only universal login i still like is the facebook one.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
document.write("<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href="+document.URL+"&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=80&action=like&font=verdana&colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:80px; height:21px\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>");

it's cool i did try the XFBML but that has some problems with some scripts I use that's why I use the iframe one i have not even tested the html5 one as of yet.

from what I can see openID is dead and it never did work the way it was supposed to.

freediver wrote on May 19^th, 2013 at 7:24am:

I don't think you understand the way it works.

ok you find a YaBB forum that you want to signup to now the old and current way is to
Choose user ID:
Choose displayed name:
Email:
on some also enter
Birthday:
Gender:

signup with facebook what happens

click signup with facebook on the forum
enter your facebook login info then the forum will pull the signup info for you
user ID: from facebook can be your facebook id
Email:
on some also it will use
Birthday:
Gender:
then ask you to Choose a displayed name:
and a password or login without facebook if that is what you want

it will not connect with facebook to add forum members to your facebook
it will also not add the info to Facebook:
This is your Facebook profile ID number or your username.
in Contact Information on the forum unless you want it to.

but that's just how I see it working and just now I don't see any universal login system happen anytime soon.
