  1. Thanks for the link Simon - and thanks for having had great implementations for us to test against along the way. Disqus is live on your Python code :)

  2. Friendly, straight-forward interface!

    I'm not too sure if the documentation is there yet, though. I currently use ClaimID for OpenID and was wondering if there was a way to use a page on my domain to delegate an OpenID server.

    ClaimID currently does it this way:

    <link rel="openid.server" href="http://openid.claimid.com/server" />

    <link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://openid.claimid.com/user" />

  3. <link rel="openid.server" href="http://www.clickpass.com/openid_server" />
    <link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://clickpass.com/public/<username>" />

    Does work. we will make a faq to explain such things.

    Thanks for the feedback

  5. I like the idea of being able to generate a private OpenID for each website. However, I don't see any documentation on how that works. Changing the ID you use at a site is dependent on the consuming site, but it would be nice to be able to auto generate (and auto recall) a site-specific OpenID for any site.

  6. David - I'm not sure if I understand your question but I think you're asking how you can actually get the auto-generation of OpenIDs to activate.

    If so the answer is that it happens by default the first time you visit a site. You can override the OpenID generation by entering one in the dropdown list or you can edit it in your 'My Sites' page by switching on "Show advanced OpenID" options.

    Hope that helps.

  7. They are claiming to protect you from phishing using the unique picture technique. Do you know how/if they are getting around the screen scraping thread?
