I am aware of the differences. However, if you want to let people log into your forums with their NS account, OpenId is a better fit that OAuth (which is a way for them to grant access to their account to the forum). Also, setting up the OpenId delegate is actually much easier than you make it out t...
While we do not (currently) support OAuth, we do support OpenID which may do what you want. Take a look at the bottom of your nation's settings page. Can OpenID be used to do some of the things tool authors are clamoring for? I don't know much about it. There seem to be two usage cases: ⋅ ...
Everything should be working right now. I haven't fixed all of the root causes, but any problems which do occur should fix themselves in around 10 seconds.
I'm new to OpenID, but if a user enters their server and delegate information in the settings page, does that mean they'd then be able to log in to another website using the OpenID "www.nationstates.net/nation=Laevendell" (in my case) or would the OpenID be something else (or have I quite...
While we do not (currently) support OAuth, we do support OpenID which may do what you want. Take a look at the bottom of your nation's settings page. Hm, just OpenID delegation it seems, and it requires effort on the part of the user (bad!). Am I wrong in this assessment? That is correct, however t...
Dons his security hat. Pretty much everything posted in this thread is correct. Passwords are sent in clear-text over the wire. We could use SSL but would still have all the problems [violet] pointed out including: ⋅ The rest of the site isn't on SSL, so you'd grab the session cookie whi...
It's part of game pages. It doesn't appear to be on the forum pages. </div> <div id="accessiblitylink"> <a href="/cgi-bin/set_accessible.cgi?type=screen_reader&chk=JGpmQeLxxxxtA"><img src="/images/1x1_transparent.gif" width="1px" height="1px"...
1x1 transparent pixel added to the bottom of all pages which will set best accessibility settings for screen-readers. (Right now, this just changes the theme to Antiquity.)
despite this claim that voting theory supports the case pro-R&R, While I have seen this claim made by others, I want people to understand that I have never made this claim. I don't think that voting theory supports R&R. Nor do I think that it speaks against it. Instead, I think it is solely...
As this sounds more and more like it's coming, This remains an unsafe assumption. but if you have conducted your own independent analysis, I would like to see its results - perhaps I will be convinced. The result is essentially the same as the raw analysis (minus conclusions) put forward by Eluvata...
Eluvatar and Glen-Rhodes may have spent a lot of time with you on IRC to badger you with their propaganda, but Pantocratoria actually has the qualifications to speak on this issue. Also, as a master in Public Administration myself, I am very curious who these "political scientists and research...
As I've finally had the time to catch up on this thread, a couple of notes to everyone: ⋅ This remains not a done deal and the admins have reached no decision related to this. ⋅ I've been so busy recently with real life, I haven't even really been thinking about R&R (either i...
Quick note. I haven't had the time to look at or think about R&R in the past few days and probably won't have the chance until Monday. I've vanished because of real life for a few.
