Important note about OpenID for anyone reading me from Dreamwidth

[strange_complex]

(Well, or for anyone who knows anything about how OpenID works, really.)

As mentioned in my last entry, I am planning to rename my LJ. However, I am very unsure as to what effect this will have on the OpenID that is based on my current LJ name, and particularly the Dreamwidth presence I have which allows me to comment on some of your journals

Right, don't, actually, know what will happen. It's going to be interesting finding out.

PRetty sure that if you login at DW using the old ID, that'll work as LJ'll redirect it. If you login using the new ID, it may know you're the same person, or it may create a new ID for you.

Either way, it's something worth finding out and documenting. I guess, when you've bought the token, try logging in there under old, then new, URL, see what happens, I'm pretty sure they can merge the accounts together in some way, but it'd be good if it works properly, so depending on what does happen, I'll file a bug to fix it the way it should happen, or ideally would work, depending...

Ah, thanks for commenting. I feel pretty safe in saying that if you don't know what will happen, no-one will! I will indeed let you know what happens for future reference. :-)
