Disable Facebook Feed option in posts
 

Tried a search but didn't really find anything on it, so I either missed the right keyword combinations (even a blanket 'Facebook' search found nothing), or..

Is there a way to turn off the "Publish this to your facebook stream" option when posting/replying? I didn't see anything during a quick glance over common settings and options in the Control Panel, but I'd prefer to have it off by default vs having it on, if that's even a choice? Just curious, thanks.

Charles,

When you joined the forum I presume you chose the option of Fast Sign In using your Facebook account instead of Create Site Account?

I'm not a Facebook user although I did setup an account when it first started.

Even when I login to Facebook and then reply to a forum post, I don't see the "Publish this to your Facebook stream" option.

I don't usually log out of the forum but have deliberately done so this morning and was going to login using my Facebook account as a test. When I saw the personal information this passes (completely unnecessarily) to the forum it confirmed to me exactly why I don't use Facebook!

If you log out of the forum and then login using your Yahoo eMail address, I think the "Publish this to your Facebook stream" option will not be there.

I enjoyed browsing your "Welcome to my ramblings in the corner" which delayed my reply to your post. :icon_lol:

You know, now that you mention it, I did originally sign up and in with facebook, I'll have to try to play with signing out and then in "normally" and see if that helps. Thanks :)

I'm hoping to ramble some more today throughout, as it's still snowing. I've had the domain name a little while, been doing more on my boat site after last year, and got thinking I should see about consolidating, so it's a very slow work in progress. Thanks for checking it out :)

Edit: That was it. I logged out, went back in with a regular username and password instead of signing in using facebook, and that pulls the option out of the replies and posts. Easy enough, and I don't think I would've thought of that to even try. Thanks again!

Charles,

Good to hear that fixed it. Thanks for coming back with confirmation.
