+----------
+
+I was using _phpMyID_ and its not _openid2_ compliant so I switched to certifi.ca to counteract that but I really
+want to go back to running my own provider.
+I can't login to identi.ca.unless I comment out the openid2 lines.(this may be there problem, I get sent to certifi.ca's site and redirected back to identi.ca)
+I will test all the different openid enabled sites I log into today and see what happens.
+It seems that since I have moved my site to its final location and made it live over night I am able to login to most places now.
+I do not have a proper understanding of the inner workings of openid so not exactly sure what part is failing but I think the problem
+lays with the consumers not falling back to the openid1 tags when they are openid1 only consumers. --[Mick](http://www.lunix.com.au)

+
+I can't log into identi.ca with openid2 tags. strange. I will look at that again today.
+Having the option to disable openid2 tags would be perfect.
+Thanks Joey. --[Mick](http://www.lunix.com.au)
