Facebook Connect

Allow users to log in or sign up to your forum using their Facebook accounts. Facebook Connect increases sign-ups by 35-50% and imports users' Facebook profile picture, leveraging the platform's wide reach. The Log in with Facebook button will be visible on the Log in and Sign Up screens. A separate account and profile will still be created within your forum. Facebook Connect is secure for private communities, as nothing is shared outside. To enable it, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Website Toolbox account.
2. Click the Integrate link.
3. Click the Single Sign On link.
4. Check the Facebook connect option.
5. Open the hyperlinked text Create an App on Facebook in a new tab to copy the exact data required further in this setup.
