flickr openid issue #11

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

This is more like a discussion issue then a bug. The default flickr openid 
template is 
"http://flickr.com/{username}", but this is actually problematic. There are 
chances that flickr users 
do not register their user name and then their personal page has the url like 
"http://www.flickr.com/photos/22335561@N05/". Users will not notice this and 
probably will just 
type their real name or their often used nicknames and get a "OpenID Server Not 
Found" error.

Now that flickr openid is really a Yahoo openid, I suggest to simply remove 
flickr in the default 
provider list.
