Here are some details on Google’s authentication methods:

The only answer I can think of is maybe these apps (Gigya, BC) use an older protocol called AuthSub, or these apps are asking for greater security. Here are the benefits to registering your app with Google:

Registered applications:

• are recognized by Google. The Google “Access Consent” page, which asks users to grant/deny access to their account when requested by third-party applications, omits default text cautioning that the site is not trusted.
• can provide a better level of security for their users.
  get access to certain services (such as some Google Data API feeds) that require third-party applications to be registered.
• enables “2-legged” OAuth access for Google Apps domain administrators.

For your original message (LJager…) what browser where you using for the initial errors? Did you receive any JScript errors in the browser that you could post? (Sometimes you have to purposely click an icon to see js specific errors.)

Then, in part 2, you mentioned you used Chrome. Your FB error you received there is what I would expect to see if the Facebook Application hasn’t been set up correctly. Please check your settings for your Facebook App (where you find your API and secret keys) and make sure you have the domain / subdomain settings correct.

Could you provide a little more detail on the issue – for example what browser are you using? Have you tested it out in other browsers? There is an IE issue – but it’s been resolved and waiting for the next update.

So, if it is the IE issue – I could tell you what to do to fix it.

Let me know if its the same problem or a different one.

esmi – If you’d like to speak with me at least phrase and quote me in it’s entirety and not just bits and pieces. I’m not knocking accessibility, or usability, but I am knocking the perception you are giving everyone of this user’s template.

So who cares, move on, thanks for your criticism. Yes he shouldn’t claim compliance when his project is indeed NOT compliant. Got ya. Thank you.

Good theme regardless – and that should not prevent someone from using it, or better yet, modifying it to be compliant if they so wish.

dizzyvapor, have you installed the WordPress.com Jetpack yet? It allows you to use hovercards and really promotes social interaction. Just a thought as I read your post.

Also, remove your cookies out of your browser and make sure you do not have remember me checked at anytime.

Thanks deenorris, it solved the errors on my end as well. I should have posted the actual line like you did too.

[torndownunit] if you like his theme, by all means use it – better yet modify it so it works for you.

The only criticism I see going on in this thread is a “what if a blind man, with no hands, who had never seen a blog site before, who is also color blind and also dumb in the head and didn’t know he was colorblind, needed to read your blog and divulge information from it and was only willing to waste 3 seconds trying to figure it out before moving on to other popular blogging sites that he does not know how to use”.

Which, in case, almost every criticism is a joke – except for claiming you follow someone’s guidelines but don’t. Who cares.

Thanks,
Bye
