UPDATE: We found a couple of bugs when we rolled out the update last night. We've "rolled back" the new features for the moment. Thanks for your patience.

We've got some exciting news: The AnswerBank will soon (Monday 9th May) be allowing users to log in and validate with Facebook.

This should make accessing the site easier for a great number of users. We're always trying to make it easier for users to access the site, and this is one small step towards making the site more accessible to everyone.

We're aware there are bound to be questions about the service, so we've prepared an FAQ & Staying Safe Guide which may answer a few questions.

http://www.theanswerb...d-staying-safe-guide/

This is also the feedback thread where you can ask questions and generally discuss this new feature.

Remember, this service is entirely optional, no data from Facebook is stored and there is no indication that you have logged into The AnswerBank or Facebook publicly on either site.

The AnswerBank will see a series of small and gradual changes like this one over the coming months, we hope you'll join us in in welcoming these improvements!..

All the best,

AB Editor

Then ignore it, neti.

It's optional, nobody is forcing you to sign in the new way, it's simply an additional way that some (not all) users may find useful.

I'm glad it's optional because I am not the least bit interested in Facebook, Twitter or any such sites.

I am quite happy to find AB with a single click of a desktop icon and keep proceeding anywhere within AB by a series of single clicks.

Nevertheless Ed, I am sorry to hear about more than a single Bug erring about.!!

Hi Neti, how is here it should work for you (When it goes live, NOT YET!):

1. Open your phone's internet browser.
2. Visit Facebook and log in.
3. Visit the Answerbank sign in page here: http://www.theanswerb....uk/session/login.php
4. Click "connect with facebook"
5. You're in!

And thus you will have used the feature!
