Got a Facebook account? Yeah, me neither...but I hear that many people do...and now you can use that account to register and login to NZMac.com instead of registering separate password details. It adds an extra level of security for you, as authentication (logging in) is all handled by Facebook and not NZMac.com. None of your Facebook authentication details (i.e., your email and password) are sent to or stored by NZMac.com. And the great news is that those users already registered here can convert their account login to use Facebook.
Another neat feature is that when you login this way for the first time, your Facebook avatar and profile details (hometown etc) will appear on NZMac.com...so make sure you backup those site avatars the first time you use Facebook connect. This will only happen the first time, so you can easily choose to go back to your old avatar and remove some of the profile info that has been imported.
Details on how to use Facebook Connect can be found in this new Quick Tip. If you have any questions about the new feature, please post them in the forum area.

There's something wrong with the button on the front page. I can log in using the Community Section but for some reason the button on the front page does nothing. |

Ok, as I'm not a Facebook'er I'll have to ask someone at work to try for me. I'll get back to you. Phil |

Seems to be a couple of issues being reported on the developers site about having a button up top....it's not showing on some browser and not working for some. In the meantime, if you want to use FB Connect to login, you'll need to go to the community section to login. I'll keep working on it. Phil |

The developers have applied a fix for the Facebook Connect button. If you could check by logging in on the main page to test that would be great. Phil |
