    It would be great if we could login to Boards.ie with our OpenID's. Most people have an OpenID now, whether they know it or not (Google,Yahoo, Wordpress etc.). In my opinion OpenID is a far more sure system than using Usernames and Passwords, especially if you use a secure OpenID provider like Verisign PIP or StartSSL.

    I'm not sure if or when Jelsoft plan to add SSO support to vBulletin but the talented staff of Boards.ie ;) might be able to build in OpenID support themselves. It has been done for the Ubuntu Forums site. There are OpenID libraries here or you could license Janrain Engage or Gigya.

    Site Development. Conor/Ross or some other dev team member will give some tech-based feedback if they don't notice this thread in here ;)
