Announcement Facebook Connector

[Art Andrews]

Due to it causing the site to load more slowly, we have removed the facebook connector embedded in vBulletin. I absolutely hate to remove "features" like this, but the truth is, this one just slowed the site down without providing us much if any advantage.

What are the possibly ramifications? IF you were only using Facebook to login, you might have forgotten your password and might need to reset it.

We'll stage a revolt shortly

But seriously, I can't say I ever used it.

That is the issue... quite a few people connected their account, but honestly... very few were using it. We will leave it off for a bit and see what happens. My guess? Nothing.

Woohoo, it used to make my browser hang for 3-4 seconds while it thought about loading it. I hate it on all sites

The lazy person in me is crying right now. That button was pretty convenient.

I loved this feature, too! I guess there's always having the browser remember my login/pass as long as nobody else gets on my computer!

It was awfully convenient. And a bit quicker to log in.

The clickable social links don't seem to be functioning anymore when viewing an RPF member profile.
