Ever been to another website and wanted to leave a comment on an article or post somewhere and didn't want to go through the lengthy account creation process? Did that account creation process turn you off from leaving your comment? Did you ever think to yourself, "oh man, in this era of social media, I wish this site had Facebook integration set up like every other website in the world," and move along without sharing your thoughts or sharing the content back to your own Facebook wall?



All of those are rhetorical questions, but you wiseasses are free to answer if you'd like.

We've enabled the integrated Facebook support that is native to this version of vBulletin, and are looking into mod support for Twitter and Google logins as well. I still need to do some testing to ensure everything is flowing smoothly, but ideally this means that we can help direct some of the homepage traffic into the forums by creating a simple, two-click account setup that allows potential users to start posting within seconds, rather than minutes.

And this also means the "like" functionality is back - AND you don't have to have a fb account connected in order to use it. The only downside is that the button will appear over threads, blogs, and articles, but not within individual posts.
