[Open-bio-l] OpenID working again

[Andy Jenkinson]

Hi Chris,

It all works on biodas.org…

Except I am suspicious of the number of accounts created today:

I notice the captcha is, shall we say, not too troubling.

Cheers,
Andy

I'll re-enable normal logins for the time being; using that route at least allows users to set up an account (OpenID works fine once that is in place).

A little non-intuitive, though.  I ran into that on BioDAS last night but managed to muddle through, ended up with an account using my full name.  Can you try that?
