 * Hi,
 * When posting comments using openid, I get the following error message
 * > Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like
   > to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name]().
   > If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference
   > to true in your INI file in /home/.cataccino/myname/mysite.com/_list/wp-content/
   > plugins/openid/Auth/OpenID/AX.php on line 891
   > Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like

   > plugins/openid/Auth/OpenID/AX.php on line 963
 * Then the screen refreshes and the comments appear. Any tips on how to resolve
   this would be great!

 * What plugin are you using? What version of PHP?

 * yes, that is problem in the OpenID library the plugin is using. Should it be 
   fixed at some point? absolutely… I’ll make sure that it does. But it shouldn’t
   be a show-stopper, since it is only a PHP warning, not an error. Are you seeing
   these messages in your PHP log, or on your site itself. If it’s on your site,
   then you probably want to do something like:
 * `ini_set('display_errors', false);`
 * in your wp-config.php.
