I noticed the new "create a thread" interface. It looks nice. I'm wondering what the "Authenticate" function does. Does it use your FB/Google profile as your letsrun login? Or does it just save your password?
Will people see your FB or Google name?
Will they see that you've authenticated with one of those clients?
What is its purpose / how does it work?
It might be nice for people to have the option to de-anonymize things (to the mods at least) for better discourse, but I'm not sure if that's what's happening here?
I do computational research for a living but I'm actually kind of a luddite.
Thanks,
David
