I have a better question. Why did Proboards decided to remove this feature from v5?. If I recall, Facebook login/registration was a feature in v4 was it not? And I thought then, and still think that it is a very important/useful feature for a forum to have.

For v4, we partnered with a 3rd party company to utilize the social login feature. While it was nice on the user end, it was a nightmare on our end to try and manage with the other company, especially when it came to forums with custom domains. Because of this, we opted not to go forward with that partnership when we transitioned to v5.

We do plan to build an in-house solution that will allow you to login and register with your social details, but there's currently no eta for when this is expected.

you guys seem to be way behind smf , and invison board and blogger... why is that they have many many more mod options and plugins ? if you guys wanna make it really user friendly i would like to see some more  customized coding areas for user input.... and maybe add something like blogger has that generates your page into html coding. if you do not know about blogger it has an html tag below the thread or blog post your working on... click it and it will show your page coded in html... basically i could build an awesome page on blogger anything is possible with html 5 ...  also maybe creating some visual plugins directed towards threads and profiles....  background images for profiles ...

you need to take up your grievances with the developers. we just write plugins around here.

on a personal note, walking into a Burger King and raving about how much better McDonalds fries are... what purpose do you think that serves?

That's actually already built into the software and goes by the name of custom profile fields and no plugin is even necessary to use that

Perhaps I am misunderstanding this one but don't all browsers have a view source feature that shows you the HTML it's what they do, you could probably call it their "thang"

Proboads has a templating system that allows you to customize you profiles and pretty much everything else to your taste and if it cannot be done or more likely more easily done through a plugin then peruse the Online Proboards Plugins or request one be made in this very board.

wormopolis , not really , i came to get a free burger my friend and i'm missing half the toppings ... hows that for an analogy, but now i'm already half way through my burger....

[Wormopolis]

Its not an applicable analogy.


I dont mind when people say they saw a feature on another forum host, but you are doing it in a rude way. Im suggesting you reconsider how you are going about things.

sounds burger-licious
