Why can't members log in using Facebook and Twitter? |

Login support with Facebook was partially added back in the beta of ZetaBoards but was never rolled out to final. To be honest, I can't say it's a highly requested feature, but that doesn't mean it won't be added in future.

I mentioned it in passing to some former members of my forum, every one of them said they'd still visit if they could log in via Facebook or Twitter. Most places let you log in these days. There have been calls for me to abandon the forum in favour of Facebook or Twitter. |

I find it unlikely that login through Facebook & Twitter will draw members back to your community if they want to abandon using it in favour of Twitter & Facebook - they can log in once and be remembered forever on your forum, never have to log in again unless they clear their cookies - this doesn't actually make the forum that much easier to use and it would still remain a forum. It doesn't solve the problem for people who do just prefer social media over a full forum experience. |

God forbid they do something remotely modern!
Members have stated they would! We all know forum's are slowing down post wise, why not make threads show on twitter and Facebook? why not allow twitter and Facebook log in, or cross platform log in posts? |

Other site's use it, so why not ZB? It's not like having the option would draw members away

I've inquired about the development time this would take. If this is something that can be done quickly, it is worth exploring. However, if this is going to take a lot of time, I would argue it is time better spent on completion of other large projects that are farther along in development. |

What was the last usefull update? The only thing I can remember was the fully pointless multi log in! Something banned from my forum since 2007 made more simple. And all the while things that would have been of use...Mobile app, cross platform log in, cross platform posting where just not bothered with. It is a worry that Zetaboards don't seem able or willing to catch up with changing trends. It wouldn't be3 so bad if we could buy our forum files, that way at least we could move to one of the more with it forum hosts but Zetaboards refuse to do that too! They seem to know without change they will die, but are not willing to change, it's a bit like a homeless guy who has just pissed in his sleeping bag,... sure he knows it is wet, but come on? who wants to move when it is so warm?
