Fantastic: it's working perfectly now.

Also, I don't mind the problems in an early system. It's part of the fun. (And my non-standardness (everything from hosting my own OpenID provider to using a .me domain for my webpage and email) tends to bring those problems out; I kind of do it to myself...)

Whenever I save my OpenID, (http://id.jameswilliams.me), the site changes it to http://id.jameswilliams.me/index.php . It's true that my Open ID is provided by index.php, but the server automatically serves index.php when accessing the root. This works transparently on every other site I use it on. Politics4All is the only one that insists on using the php page as part of the ID.

Since .php is an implementation-detail, it's subject to change if I ever update my OpenID script to another language (or suddenly start using delegation).

Thanks. Waiting around solved it.

That worked but now when I try to logout, I get the error:

Unknown Error 500
We're sorry, but something went wrong.
We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.

When returning to the site, I find that I'm still logged in.

Unable to Associate My Politics4All Account with my OpenID

Click "Your Settings" link
Click "Account" tab
Type my open id URL (http://id.jameswilliams.me) into the OpenID URL box
Click "Authenticate"

Expected result: Politics4All associates my account with my OpenID
Actual result: Politics4All returns the following error message: "Could not complete your request. You may not have permission to make this change."

When returning to the regular site, my OpenID is not set in the OpenID URL box on my Account tab.

Bill Tracker -- Add Dates to Bills

On the main Bill Tracker page, can you provide the date the bill was introduced in its respective chamber and the date of the latest action on it?
