#314: openID users replying to comments from email

[domtheknight]

The links in comment notification emails to openID users are fine, but the if html emails are enabled and the user attempts to reply through the form inside, an error message of "You can't post as a shared or community account. Shared accounts represent groups of people, not individual people," is received. Then if the user attempts to comment from that page, the comment will be at the top level instead of threaded.

ETA: this specific issue is fixed, although there are some other OpenID commenting issues.

Aight, hit up Inksome and Insanejournal, both of which are exactly the same as DW. Maybe LJ fixed the threading thing in some non-free section of code.

I actually suspect it might have come from some recent change that hasn't been merged into our branch. We're the most up-to-date with LJ code; Inksome is about a year and a half behind (I think) and IIRC InsaneJournal is about two years back.

...which is to say, it'd have to be a change in how LJ handles this shit past early January, which was the last time we merged our code to LJ's.

I'll check LJ's changelog and see what's up.

It looks like this was recently fixed as part of an unrelated problem (http://code.livejournal.org/trac/livejournal/changeset/14779).
