Upgrade StorageOpenID Issues
There's a couple of issues I'm having with OpenID
1) Is it possible to link my OpenID with this account, or if not, can I delete this one to set up my OpenID account
2) When I try to log in via OpenID, I'm getting an error about the Requested URL being too long. Is this a known issue?

Also, to date, when I have logged in successfully with my OpenID, I still get prompted to log into my Zotero account each time.
Basically, OpenID offers you the ability to have a single point of identification for many different sites. Instead of having to register for each site, creating a new username and password for each, you set up an OpenID account (usually through an existing provider) which gives you a URI which acts as your account login. The URI is generated by the provider, however you can use any URL you control by adding some HTML code to a page at that URL designating an OpenID delegate. I use my personal website URL.
The main benefits with OpenID are establishing a single point of login, and also having a unique ID across different sites on the web. Visiting the OpenID URL usually provides a profile of the person it identifies.
When you log into a site using your OpenID, rather than provide credentials (username and password) to that site, it redirects you to your OpenID provider to log in there. Your provider will then inform the original site that your login was successful and you will be redirected back to your original site.
If a site requires an account to exist on their servers anyway, they can link your OpenID to your account there. This is the case with Zotero, as you need to use your Zotero login for the sync features, and also SourceForge, which requires an account on their servers for things such as shell access, and repository access.
Some sites do not require their own identification, as the only access required is on the web, and so an account is automatically created when you first log in using your OpenID. A site like Stack Overflow is an example like this.
The Open ID (anonymised) string I used was: "xxxxx.yyyyyyyyy.pip.verisignlabs.com"
Is there a fix for this problem?
https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id
http://www.google.com/profiles/Tomasz.Koluda
...and variations of the above with http, https, or without the http(s)://www. and no go.
Why oh why?
-Am I doing something wrong? :-/
You can email me at zotero.07gj@gishpuppy.com

https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id
but it doesn't
until it works, you can find an url that works with your gmail account here
http://openid-provider.appspot.com/
OpenID URL for Yahoo: http://openid.yahoo.com/
also for http://google.com/profiles/me or the expanded version of the google profile URL
(o) https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/my_id
(o) https://google.com/profiles/my_id
What is wrong?
Is there any way I can change my Open ID data? If not, could someone please help me get in contact with the web administration team? This is very much a crucial issue and a security concern.
I'm using Google Apps (for Education) with this URL: https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id.
Result: error message 'Invalid Open Id'.
Works fine with another OpenID provider, for example myopenid.com. The Google OpenID URL also seems to be working well on other sites, for example stackoverflow.com.
Any update on this?
A wiki page about OpenID support (and known issues) would be extremely helpful.
Thanks!
