Chat transcript directory structure is migrated to the new service (necessary because the UIDs are formatted differently). Also, the login prompt is new, because we now use Facebook's OAuth-style system rather than obtaining the username/password ourselves and supplying that to the webscraping system. > > If we're just changing a behind-the-scenes implementation detail, there's no > reason to burden the user with that knowledge. > Overall, I feel like this is all behind-the-scenes, and the only part warranting consideration is how the user reacts to this new "enter your facebook username/password" web window that pops up on first connect. As I said before, though, it's a really standard appearing window that any Facebook user has seen a thousand times. I showed the process to my wife (who is not particularly computer savvy), and she took a while to even understand why there could be a question.
