Suddenly, I'm unable to log in via OpenID. I'm receiving the following error:

Sorry, the OpenID server couldn't be found

I was able to log in using the same OpenID using another service, so I don't think there's an actual problem with my OpenID server (on myopenid.com).

   Nevermind, it started working again.

   There are two likely reasons why this might break:

   • We have a 5 second timeout for external requests. If your OpenID server takes longer than that to respond, than we raise an error. That sometimes happens with phpMyOpenID hosts, but rarely MyOpenID (which is what I use).
   • We might have had temporary server connection or firewall issues. I think I noticed a similar issue earlier this afternoon actually. I was on the staging site though, and didn't think much of it.
