I dont think that would be too much asking of SS that creating a private forum should be possible behind the paywall of a member area...

Wooow... thanks a lot Paul, for the head up.... Its getting quite complicated, What would be your suggestion then when it comes to creating forum for a gated member area on SS ?

Thank you very much Paul, that's very useful. I hope I can sort out the SSO thing.... I will also. contact SS for that. Thank you

It would be great Paul, if you could explain step by step how to integrate the INVISION COMMUNITY (for instance) into a site - and more specifically a member area. > How to create a subdomain ("forum.") of their main URL. How do you actually do that ? > And how to do that in the context of a gated Member Area: How to keep the forum for the members only ? Are my members gonna be forced to create another account on Invision? Or can the member list of the member area and the one of the forum match automatically. ? How is this mess gonna work.... Many thanks for your support !

I asked for help to the SS help center and here is their response - so disapointing. Are Forums easy to integrate with SS ? And how to do that? Since this would need to be done using custom code, while you're welcome to use custom code to modify your site, we highly recommend that you have coding knowledge before attempting custom code solutions.

By experience could you tell me what forum work WELL integrated with SS ? For security reasons, I don't want to have to download any forum software to my Mac. Also the free software seems too good to be true.
