In case you missed the notice on the homepage, you can recover your existing forum account by going through the Forgot Password process or by using a Facebook, Google, or OpenID account with the same email that you used on the old forums.
If you used hotmail on the old forums, and cannot recover your account, get in touch with me.
Interesting changes, I like the way it is set up now, almost facebook-ish. Can we get a logo in the upper left though, not a big deal, but I almost never like a standard vanilla theme, etc.
@fratersang You're not being silly in assuming it would do that, but unfortunately it does not do that. I believe the only real connection that is made is simply the linking of authentication methods.
yayayayya, Frat did you figure out a way to link your fb account to get the picture or did you just manually put it? edit: Never mind, apparently I have a gravatar
As far as I know, there is no way to bring over any of your facebook data. The facebook integration just allows you to handle your FD authentication through facebook rather than with a local password.
