There have been a bunch of (hopefully mostly unnoticeable) changes to atitd.org this weekend, but enough to be worth an announcement:

• The wiki OpenID login now accepts plain usernames (”atitd.org/openid/” will be appended automatically if needed)
• The wiki OpenID login no longer blanks an email address if you set it in preferences - this means you can now set an email and have email notification of changes to pages you’ve set to “watch”
• The forum OpenID login now has options to auto-login and to allow you to hide online status [new tickboxes on login page] - hopefully this will fix the issue of forum logins not persisting longer than about 24hrs (waiting to see if it works..)
• A workaround for a problem preventing wiki logins for people using HughesNet satellite Internet (all two of you!) and possibly anyone else with a naughty web accelerator (a side effect is slightly faster wiki logins for everyone else)
• Information about how third party sites can use the atitd.org OpenID server (so people don’t have to register on every website) now up on the wiki OpenID help page
• Various less interesting internal fixes (unrecognised *.atitd.org domains go to the main page, Wordpress updates coming soon, various spammy errors/bugs squashed).

Please post to the news thread, or to the atitd.org help forum, or chat FaceAnkh ingame if you have problems with any of these changes or suggestions for other improvements
