Welcome to the Clonmany Genealogy Forums and Message Boards
Please note that Talki (forum host) is a completely secure forum generator that allows users to provide a login from a variety of sources which include Facebook, OpenID, Google, AOL etc, etc. If you use any of these then you can login into the forum.
The Talki (forum host) app asks if it can access your information - your name, public profile URL, and photo; your gender and birthdate; your country, language, and timezone - this is all standard information which is already in the public domain should you choose it to be. For example with Facebook you have certain controls as to who can access what on your page if anything. If your controls are strictly private then they cannot be viewed. You are not restricted to using a particular login, so if you feel uncomfortable using Facebook, use OpenID instead.
Create an OpenID
The information is not stored by me or anyone associated with Clonmany Genealogy. The purpose for using an off-site forum host is to save on storage costs etc. For a non-account based login, I would have had to set up an extensive database which I do not have the resources to do. This is a common compromise and is used by many forums these days.
Really looking forward to all the forums being used as this will be the main way that you can all interact with each other on the new website.
