Authenticate on Ubuntuforums with your Launchpad credentials!

The title says it all! Thanks to Anthony Lenton, one of Canonicals developers, users on ubuntuforums.org now have the option to authenticate on the forums using their Launchpad/OpenID credentials. The current requirement is you have an active forum account to accomplish this. In the future we’ll look at other options for tighter integration but this is a huge step forward.

Enjoy!

    Can I use another OpenID besides just my launchpad OpenID to login?

    That’s pretty sweet. Nice to see some effort put forth from the LP fella’s.

    I tried logging onto ubuntu forums using my launchpad id but it does not work. I do not have any login to the forums at the moment so I ask how to get this working here. My launchpad id is ‘greno’.
