Request: Private Messages should always come from the origin Sub-Domain where PM was

lax01 · 01-29-2018, 06:34 PM

created...

This probably only happens when private messaging vendors who jump around between the myriad of different bimmerpost forums...but I truly dislike having to log in to every single unique sub-forum/domain under bimmerpost.com.

That or actually make Bimmerpost single-sign-on (SSO) so I don't have to authenticate to view every single different sub-forum/domain (not sure why this isn't actually a thing at this point).

Let me know if my request wasn't clear and I can re-explain.

To retrieve PMs, you don't have to....

I get notifications from several sub-forums but they all come to the same inbox regardless of where I'm logged in.

This, but it would be nice to just have to login once and not have to login for the other forums

^ Yes that would be nice.

True...but email notifications for PMs come from whatever sub-forum/domain the response to the PM comes from...so when I click those, it directs me to g20 or f80...

Even M5post: http://f10.m5post.com

Easier to request but quite a bit of backend work to do. Considering the forum software is a bit outdated at the moment.

SSO is never going to happen.

It will skew the activity stats for each sub-forum
Plus there are different vendors and advertising for each.
