Do you see yourself on the T.V screen?

A while back, I tried to comment on a blogspot post using my LJ as OpenID credentials. I got the error message "Your OpenID credentials could not be verified."

Ah well, I thought, never mind. Try again later. However, that's been the result for the past few months whenever I've tried to use LJ as OpenID.

Today I pottered over to read a post on Dreamwidth, and logged in with OpenID successfully. However, although I could see the (locked) post, when I tried to look at the comments it asked me to log in. When I tried to log in, it said "duh, you're already logged in, venta.livejournal.com".

Anyone know what's going on? I've successfully read comments (and indeed posted comments) at Dreamwidth before, and on other blogging places, using LJ for OpenID, but now nothing seems to work any more...

(So to all the people saying of their Dreamwidth accounts "you can comment here using OpenID", er... no, I can't ;)

Update: One of the known issues on the LJ Support page is "OpenID is currently not working with some other services". So I guess I just wait til they fix it...

I've had the same (or similar) error when trying to comment on a blogger (I think) blog last week. But I've just successfully commented on a friend's DW entry, so perhaps it's something intermittent?

Intermittent it is - DW is now behaving fine.

The entire rest of the internet still seems unable to cope with LJ-as-OpenID (ie blogspot still failing), though :(

Out of curiosity, can you comment anywhere else using OpenID?

I haven't had a need to of late, but I'll go check on the place I was last struggling.

I'm getting "your openID credentials could not be verified" back from there! Can you suggest somewhere else?

Well, that's the same error I'm seeing, so I think it's a common problem!

Though I recommend reading this, anyway http://wildblueberryforest.blogspot.com/ :)

Oh my!
