I wanted to commit to a proposal on Area 51 so I filled in my name and email address. After hitting Commit I realized that Area 51 created a new unregistered account for me (although I already have an account for SE sites using the email I provided in the form).
As I couldn't find any log-out buttons I decided to clear cookies associated with Area 51 and log in using my default account. To my surprise, I wasn't able to log in and I was presented the following error instead (I removed possibly sensitive information; I can send the exact message to the developers if they find it useful):
Unable to log in with your OpenID provider:
The openid.return_to parameter (http://area51.stackexchange.com/users/authenticate/?s=...) does not match the actual URL (https://area51.stackexchange.com/users/authenticate/?s=...) the request was made with.
What happened?
