  • Your News Feed - Similar to the Activity Stream however it only shows the members that you "Follow".
  • Likes You've Received - A list of all the like you've received.

Facebook Integration
  • If you're already a member the FB integration does very little for you other then save you from having to log into DBA, providing that you're already logged into FB.
  • If you register via the "Login with Facebook" button, it'll keep you from having to enter a lot of the required info and you won't have to confirm your email address.
