#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.

Yes, I should have marked that this was fixed, because it is. The bug you're getting is specifically related to OpenID users being regarded as 'anonymous' in certain instances of code. We are planning to update all of that, so that we specifically create a new class of user for OpenID so that they can be allowed to comment when anon commenting is turned off. If you comment in journals where anon commenting is allowed, you shouldn't have any problems.

Ah--that would explain why it was happening. A lot of my friends (the ones who've migrated) have turned off anon commenting. I look forward to when this is fixed! Thanks. ^_^
