Added new authentication providers! Twitter, GitHub, and Steam are all available now! Note: You can't change the authentication provider on your main account yet. If you just want to ditch Google, feel free to make an alt with the same username.
You can now select a different Google account when logging in
Third-party cookies are no longer required to log in
We no longer store user emails (really!)
Several random bugs patched
Known issues
Logging in with Twitter asks for your password every single time
Having OpenHub installed on Android breaks GitHub logins
live now on Knockout!
@Garry 2.0 , I would like to know about the possibility of getting a Facebook Auth too, as used in this forum. Thank you very much for all the wonderful work you are doing!
there are currently no plans for Facebook auth, sorry it's really not in line with our privacy principles. and thanks!
Looks nice

There's a new option in your preferences panel, it enables fake YouTube embedding. The server will go fetch video titles & thumbnails for you.
When scrolling a thread filled with videos your browser shouldn't grind to a halt while 30 instances of YouTube's bloated player are rendered.
There will be a bit of an impact on page load times with this enabled, but your browser will perform nicely afterwards. I'll put a video metadata cache together at some point, should improve the performance.
Any chance for a News Node section? It would be nice to have bots for some sites.
Fast threads too if you're only adding subforums in pairs
I think Knockout would get more users if you just ran heavily-modified vBulletin 4 like before
focused on making a lot of QoL / polish work today. i felt like using the forums was getting pretty annoying because of a few bugs and quirks, so i tried to address a few. Northern Lights also got a bunch of stuff in today.

those are just *some* of the things we did today. it seriously doesn't even fit on that image!
all of those are live on QA right now if you want to help by testing!
Knockout definitely deserves to be more active, it has a really great forum feel of modern and oldschool at the same time, GG inacio you really did some good coderoons.

I just shoved out an update on the back of that which corrects alignment on notification bubbles.
Honestly, I'm just sticking around on Facepunch because it's where the history is so far, but if/when it goes down, I'm totally content to jump ship.
Even though I'm not yet a member of KnockOut, I definitely appreciate the work going in, as it's good to hit the ground feature-wise for when Garry kills the plug.
I'm just saying that it feels nice and that it fully deserves to be FP's successor if this place gets demolished.
How do you get that sub button? All I've got is a dropdown menu with no options

The fix is only on the QA environment so far, it will be rolling out to prod soon.
hoping to log in on lite some time soon!
With the big auth refactor out of the way I feel comfortable to go and add a way for lite to authenticate against your account on the main site.
Can't promise anything, but we're probably talking weeks rather than months.
I am trying to post more on Knockout, but I wanted to try and make more well-developed posts than the somewhat throw-things-at-the-wall-to-see-what-sticks attitude I have somewhat unintentionally developed here.
Quality over quantity is the new name of the game for me.
we need more people like you <3
I imagine that the current way of "refreshing" the page when rating is just temporal, right?
Yes, take a look at QA and let us know if it's better

smart links are finally here! please go test them in QA and let us know how they could be improved or if there are any bugs!
We all really appreciate the hard work you guys are doing! Keep it up! 👍
Apologies if this is common or I am being simple, I can't seem to log in with chrome. I kept coming across the /usersetup page on chrome and could not progress so I opened an account using Edge. But currently I cannot log in to knockout using Chrome. It keeps redirecting to the /usersetup page and even when I manage to land on the forum homepage the Log In button is not there. I have tried disabling uBlock and still nothing. I feel like I have to clear something but what?
when was the last time you tried?
what happens when you input a name and submit?
have you tried to delete your data?
what providers have you tried?
do you have any extensions installed?
Just 5 minutes ago
Nothing happens, the red bar loads up but the page stays on /usersetup and the username I entered stays there.
No - thats the part I was thinking about when I said I am sure I need clear something but what, what would you recommend I erase, data wise?
This only happens on chrome. Was perfectly able to log in and register using Edge.
I only have uBlock Origin and uBlock Origin Extra installed and active and I have tried turning them off but no change.
press F12, go to Application -> Clear storage -> Clear site data
it's possible that you got into a no exit situation. i'll try to fix that, but for now clearing site data should fix you up. let me know if it doesnt
Ï actually got the same error yesterday on both chrome and firefox. Clearing the site data made it work on firefox but not chrome. Decided to try again today (with chrome) and it works.
Don´t know if that helps, but...
if you guys can check the console and network requests that really helps. i made 6 accounts on chrome and firefox and didnt find that error
Will do!
