I have a question (and I suspect I know the answer, but here goes)...
As part of my New Year resolutions, I've begun migrating from G+ to Pluspora. Initially, it worked, but I find that having been permitted to sign up with a gmail 'plus' email address (my gmail with '+pluspora' inserted), I can't now log back in (invalid format) with that email.
Question: is this irretrievably a feature (bug) of the current Diaspora login process - meaning I'll have to ditch the account and create a new one based on an 'unplussed' email - or can I use the 'plussed' one somehow?
Any information/thoughts much appreciated.

ReplyDeleteYou have found a bug in the registration process...
ReplyDelete'+' should not be allowed.
It shouldn't matter if the email address you used has a + in it. To login you should be using your pluspora id, not the email that you used to sign up with.
ReplyDeletePhilip Rowney it's not a bug as + is allowed. I just checked and pluspora has 129 users with a + in their email address.
ReplyDeleteDavid Thiery to calirfy:
ReplyDeleteWhich side of the @ is the '+' ?
Left or right?
[ RE -reads RFC 5321 ]
Dave Wonnacott Have tou tried loging in using your Pluspora user name instead of the email address?
ReplyDeleteI can haz my gamertag.....
ReplyDelete_wild_Ar5e!@pluspora....
I was too busy testing SMP and crap back in my RFC days...
Whidou David Thiery Bingo! I'd tried my username in the form of a pluspora.com - pluspora email (no luck) but not 'just' as a username. That, however, works perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for the rapid response, and apologies for missing the obvious ; )
See you over there everyone...
Philip Rowney + to the left of @ as + isn't allowed in the domain name.
ReplyDeleteDave Wonnacott glad to hear you got in! :)
ReplyDeleteDavid Thiery I know about the domain side. I was the test department for Zeus Web Server in 2001 :0þ
