I just signed up to make your 100th fan!!

Woot. As I've said, I'm not a user of either service, so if they stop working or there's anything I can do to make them move valuable, let me know - there's no chance of me noticing myself.

The Twitterfeed feed seems to have stopped feeding.

Haven't had anything for a couple of days.

This should be working ok now - it won't pick up on the stuff it missed, but new topics should be tweeted. I don't follow twitter, so thanks for the heads-up.

Had changed the Twitter password, but not updated it on Twitterfeed, hence the stalling.

[liuzhou]

Yes, back again!

Couple of Facebook things.

1) It's now possible to link your forums and Facebook accounts, or for new members to sign in with their Facebook log in. There's also a Facebook 'like' button at the bottom of each topic and . . . maybe some other stuff. To link your account, members can look for this page under Settings > Profile.

With Facebook being blocked in China, China-based members are going to need a proxy to join in the fun.

2) Thanks to Facebook being a pain in the neck, I can't get at the forum Facebook page. I'm likely going to have to set up a new one. Apologies to our 100+ existing fans.

The link to the Facebook fan page is not working for me. Is anyone else having this problem?

[roddy]

Well, thanks again Facebook :rolleyes:

I don't know what's happening, but as I'm going to have to try and set up a new Facebook page shortly anyway, I wouldn't worry about it.

Log in and integration with Twitter is now enabled. Look for the Sign In with Twitter button next time you log in (and once you've signed in to Twitter associate that log in with your forums account) or click here and follow the instructions.
