Took a look at OpenID and it seems like a good idea. The concern I have is what would happen if a username is already taken. I am not a tech guru so maybe there are rules for it. At this point anything that can help to make integration/plug in easier is a major step for UBB.

Rick please make the bold move and give the software the ability to integrate.

I have little to no interest in OpenID. I understand the concept, but at least for me, it's not something I care about - but that's just me, based on my community. If it is implemented, I hope it is a option for the admin.

Sorry to disturb again.
This attachment is a simple UBBThreads-OpenID integration diagram.
For you who are not familiar with openID.
Just to emphasize that , there will be no db schema changes. It's just a simple standard / de-facto service , but helps "expanding" our site very much.

Thanks for the diagram on how it would work. It looks like it would be a major step forward.

I understand how it works and I've had one for a while now but actually never really use it so far. Maybe someday I'll be with a site that uses it and I like the site and stay around.

Looking at the current Poll Blogs win.

Damn, I can't vote twice

I guess we could register as a new user 100 times and flood the poll

I like how you think

How do you say: Different strokes for different folks!
