[BUG] Unable to register on forum using OpenID

[alexanderpas]

A picture tells more than 1000 words, take note of the error on top, and the selected authentication method.

Not quite a necro-post as this is still an issue [i.e. I just tried to register with my myopenid id] - but probably not a particularly high priority one

 

looking at the SMF [simple machines forums] own forums, this was "possibly" patched in a 2.1 release - minecraft forge is running 2.0.2 judging by the footer...  i've admined SMF forums before, and whilst patching this should be "trivial" that doesn't mean it wouldn't break anything, so I'd imagine this is not particularly important...

 

However, if a site admin really wants to patch the forum, the thread I was just looking at for SMF is here: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=473793.0

 

... in, the meantime, i used a password authentication... heigh ho, i can live with that
