GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 518718
Only whitelisted domains can create user accounts (should be just blogs)
Last modified: 2018-09-24 10:08:49 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I try to sign up for a GNOME Blogs account so that I can comment on a post, an error is displayed that says Sorry, that email address is not allowed! Steps to reproduce: 1. Visit http://blogs.gnome.org/wp-signup.php. 2. Type kraai into the username field, mkraai@beckman.com into the email address field, and select the "Just a username, please." radio button. 3. Press the "Next >>" button. Actual results: I'm taken to the same page, the email address field is highlighted in red, and an error message is displayed that says "Sorry, that email address is not allowed!". Expected results: It would create an account. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:
This is intentional -- you must register with a gnome.org, gtk.org or gimp.org email address. The signup page doesn't currently say that, but I'm waiting on the next release before doing that (such that it's done in a maintainable fashion).

Is this because once someone creates an account, they could then create a blog?
Yeah, though it wasn't immediately obvious that it would impact both user accounts and blogs, and surprisingly, no one has raised it before! I'll see what I can do about that. :-)

Given that a new version of Wordpress µ was installed eight months ago <http://blogs.gnome.org/blog/2008/09/21/upgraded-to-wordpress-mu-262/>, six months after waiting for the next release, any progress here? :)
