Hello, Single Sign-On! <3

Finding and joining communities just got a whole lot easier. With pride, I present to you: ForumSpark Hub and SSO.

SSO makes perfect sense on a platform like ForumSpark. It allows you to join any community in the network with a single click of a button. If you join 5 communities on ForumSpark, you don't create 5 accounts. You don't manage 5 passwords. You don't rebuild your profile 5 times. Your identity follows you wherever you go.

Communities are no longer isolated islands - they become part of a connected network. Now imagine at some point, we have a thousand communities on ForumSpark... Never a dull moment!

This is where the ForumSpark Hub shines. :star_struck:

The Hub is your central identity across ForumSpark. One account, one profile, one place to manage it all. But it's also designed to be your starting point:

  • Dashboard - See all the communities you're part of at a glance
  • Feed - Stay up to date with the latest topics and replies across all your forums
  • Notifications - Get notified about activity on any of your connected communities, all in one place
  • Discover - Find and join new communities in the ForumSpark network
  • Linked Accounts - Manage all your forum memberships from a single page

All forums have SSO enabled by default - but if you'd prefer to disable it for your community, you can do so from your Admin CP Settings page.

You'll find some extra links on our ForumSpark homepage, your user menu dropdown and the profile page where your SSO info can be found.

Getting started: You'll need to register a new account on the Hub. If you use the same email you've already been using on ForumSpark, it'll automatically link your existing forums to your Hub account - no extra steps needed.

Give it a try and explore it a bit.

If you have questions, ideas, or feedback - share it. This is a big evolution for ForumSpark and I want it shaped with the community. ^_^

I’ll be updating the documentation and homepage later this week with full details about the Hub and SSO along some other missing bits.

PS: Make sure your forum is listed in the Directory for it to show up in the Discover page.
