i'm not a big fan of that. - for one thing, it discourages people to post bug reports. personally, i will not become a member of any portal (be it facebook or myspace or whatnot) just to tell someone that there product doesn't work. - sourceforge now supports OpenID authentication. while this seems to be the solution to the problem (people don't really have to sign-up to post tickets in an authenticated way), it is actually not: people are technically authenticated, but from the ticket admin's point of view nothing changes (you don't know who posted; and it seems like the original poster is not included in the thread, so there is no follow up either) - one possibility would be to have tickets that would require either authentication or a valid email address (which is not shown anywhere). this is not implemented at sourceforge, but one could file a feature request. so please don't. fgmasdr IOhannes
