Ahhh, OK. I hope people do choose to remain incognito.

Everyone might set their real name to be "Odd Socks" just for a laugh...

My username is the only name I will answer to, my 'real name' is not for public knowledge.

I'm still using IE. Couldn't log-on earlier this afternoon, but it appears to be ok now.

So what exactly is integrated with Facebook?

Is it just the pointless login that doesn't work on Safari or is there anything else?

Aside from the change in the way we login, does the forum look completely different to anyone else? The whole layout has changed for me, but, i've only seen it mentioned by one other member and that thread has been closed now.

Yes, in parts and showbiz, music, etc... is all listed at the bottom of the forum now. I can no longer see my post count etc... at the left or how many views per post, amongst other things.

On the very bottom do you see 'Click here to change to Desktop version' or something along those lines?

That fixed things thanks.

Although I did quite like reading posts the other way. The rest just didn't seem right.

Yeah, I just got directed to some details page. I hit the back button until I got to a forum page again and it offered me a login as ds button which immediately logged me in without entering any credentials. Weird.

What's this form asking you to enter your real name etc all about?

Is this necessary?

I can now log in via IE9 but I have to lower my security settings to Medium High in the Internet Zone. I have also had to enable Cookies by adding DS to the list of allowed sites. In the old login I could leave the Internet Zone as High with Javascript enabled and I had DS in the Trusted Zone with Javascript disabled. Before you ask, I always clear all my internet traces after visiting sites via CCleaner and also at the end of each browsing session. I also use Clean Space to remove the other stuff that CCleaner doesn't feature.
Thank you

Really annoyed with this new logging in. I nearly couldn't get into my account there was nothing wrong with the old logging in!

But you can now make comments on the DS entertainment stories, I've commented on Lindsay Lohan and Alex Reid tonight.
