Problem signing in to a custom domain wiki with OpenID
It seems that custom domains do not 1. remember that you're signed in correctly and 2. fail to sign in you when signing in with OpenID.
I've experienced this problem for a long time. In the meanwhile, I've had to sign in using my email and password, even though I can successfully sign in to *.pbwiki.com wikis with my OpenID. Perhaps you should enable OAuth for custom domain wikis and just run all accounts through PBWiki.com, the way Satisfaction does?

Inappropriate?Hi Chris, I'm sorry this wasn't answered right away. I'm trying to get an answer for you. It's a little out of my area of competence.

Inappropriate?Hi Chris.
I haven't forgotten you. I'm still waiting for an answer from our guru in this area. I'm putting out another, "let me bug you for a minute" message to them.

Thanks -- this happens across all my domains, so it seems like an actual reproducible bug. -
Inappropriate?Chris,
I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that this regression snuck in when the PBwiki security backed was updated to mitigate cookie theft (we now use per-domain and per-wiki cookies).
I'll keep you posted on the status of this bug.
I’m frustrated too...

Yeah, that makes sense. Almost seems like the perfect case for using OAuth -- where you'd have a PBWiki identity provider in the middle, and you'd authorize remote access by masked domains... then all requests would be signed with OAuth, but the beauty is that this would open up the ability for external tools to work against the same kind of API...!

Inappropriate?Here's a screenshot of the error I'm getting when using my own domain for openid.
I’m slightly mildly dissapointed
