Changes to Facebook and how they affect us
We have/had an autoposting system set up on this website to automatically post anything from the news section of this website over to our Facebook group. Now with the newly reported security concerns at FB they have decided to pull that ability along with many others, including our FB members area login, away from groups, pages, and most third party apps until these concerns can be dealt with. Until they figure out what they are doing we will have to post in our Group the old fashioned way. Copy and paste content over manually.

We will be testing the functionality of our FB login for the members area this weekend and may need to disable that as well. If we do...
