Is there a way to log in/sign up besides OpenID? I don't have one, but wanted to use your site. I spent about half an hour trying to figure out which accounts of mine are OpenID enabled, and to get the url for my ID. I keep getting errors like "Open ID server can't be found", etc. so I imagine the urls that I'm putting in the sign up box are not the right ones. Then when I finally get signed up and logged in, later I try to log in with the same url and I get an error. Very frustrating.

Anyways, to summarize: Open ID seems to suck, and its very confusing (though to be completely honest I'm a little drunk which might have made this more difficult for me). I'd imagine most users would appreciate a simple, traditional login (I would have). Anyways, I really wanted to use your site, but after 30 min of failure I've given up. Good luck though.

Edit: For spelling/etc.

Any OpenID-enabled site should, until the transition to everyone having such an account is complete, have a "create an account" link that just redirects to http://myopenid.com or somesuch. Link, one-page form, check e-mail for verification link, get a URL (username) handed to you, put it in. Exactly the same workflow as a traditional registration.

Thanks to all for your comments. We built prioritiz'd for the Rails Rumble, and as you all mentioned, there is more we need to do with it, including links to OpenID providers, and providing an option for creating a traditional username/password. We are currently working on a single sign-on application for our entire suite of applications, that will cover that last part.

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. Please leave any other feedback on our support site so we can continue to improve the app. Thanks.
