Would probity be the best addon ever for mybboard, no other forum supports this yet, and the resources are already there to download, php and all!
I guess implementing facebook connect, would just be like a register page, but working with a facebook connect instead?
If i understood the way mybboard uses cookies and sessions then i might attempt it..
But you could even have it so if you already have an account, you could add your facebook to "update your information and display picture"

I was under the impression that IPB used this technology already.
I know vbulletin already has a modification called facebook connect.
I really don't think this is the sort of thing that would be a default feature....

Both of them do. It's best suited to a plugin - if anything, it's probably best to implement OpenID.
Oh right, but you have to pay for both of those boards, plus i dont really get OpenID, i sont know anyone at all that uses it? plus there isnt one central OpenID database, theres like 10!
And another thing i didnt get is, that you can login to sites with your OpenID without a password?
or do i have it wrong?
I'm pretty sure you need to enter a password on OpenID-supportive sites. Last time I used it anyways, you did.

Yep you do.. I did a few days ago, they have picture passwords.
Ah, I remember that transition now
"I dont know anyone at all that uses it?"
I use OpenID, so now you do know someone who uses it.

You can log into OpenID enabled sites without a password,
only when your browser is logged into your OpenID provider.

Yes, it would be great to have OpenID working with MyBB.
