<div>Yeah, there probably is. I didn't get to fixing that since the Drupal module wasn't my top priority. Have you used your MyOpenID identifier, it would've worked (asking you to provide a username and an email address if required).

<div>Guess what. That's the intended behavior!</div><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">So, clearly there's a behavior set to grab my nickname from SR and<br>then increment it if it already exists. This is what I was asking
<br>about -- what to do when nicknames overlap on a system... this is one<br>answer. Is this satisfactory and should it be made a recommend default<br>behavior in the case of not publicly displaying one's OpenID URL?</blockquote>
<div> </div>
<div>If there is no SR nickname, the username is guessed from the URL (e.g. factoryjoe if you weren't so smart ;-)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I believe this to be satisfactory for most purposes. The recommended default behavior would probably be combining that module's with phpbb-openid's, which is what Evan Prodromou did (or at least intended to do) in his Mediawiki patch.
