Login to HDRLab Using your Facebook Account

Posted by Hans de Ruiter

It is now possible to log in to this website and post on the forums using your Facebook account. This was added so that people don't have to create and remember yet another user and password combination. Like many people, I have an increasing number of accounts on multiple websites, and remembering all of those usernames and passwords gets harder and harder (particularly with websites that have "special" rules regarding what a password should have). Special thanks to Will Rossiter for developing the Silverstripe Facebook Connect module.

To log in using Facebook, simply click on the "Login with Facebook" button at the top of the forums, and enter your facebook login in the window that opens. If you already have an account on this website using the same email address as your facebook account, then your existing account will automatically be linked to your Facebook account. Otherwise, a new account will be created for you.

NOTE: New accounts created when logging in using Facebook will use your first name as forum "nickname" by default. You can edit your profile at any time using the "Profile" link shown next to the "Log Out" button at the top of the forums pages.
