Just to give a heads up on what's going to be happening soon, I am
currently working on a login system. I want to get this in place before I
set up the ratings system. At present, you need to enter your userid and
password together each time you need to confirm your identity here. With
the login system, you will be able to log in once and be automatically
recognized without having to enter your password again. I have the CVP
login working already, but I'm also adding OpenID login. This will let you
login with your Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, or MyOpenID accounts, as
well as through any other OpenID provider by directly typing in your
OpenID. I think I know how to make it work now, but I still need the time
to work on it. When you use either login, it will store cookies used to
recognize you. One cookie will tell who you are, and another will be an
encrypted string used to verify the accuracy of the first cookie. You will
be able to connect an OpenID with your CVP account, which will let you
directly login to your CVP account through an OpenID provider. This will
come in handy if you forget your CVP password, but it will normally be
faster to login to your CVP account directly. Another use I plan to make of
OpenID is to make registration faster. If you login with an OpenID, you
will be able to register without email authentication. As I envision things
working, you will be able to use an OpenID or a CVP userid to post
comments, but you will need a CVP account to rate games, vote in polls, or
play games on Game Courier.
