I am a user of various bulletin boards that use vBulletin 5 software. Thus, I can't post this message where it would make the most sense to put it. I posted this error report at 1Password's forum:
One of my favorite forums switched to vBulletin 5. Everyone who uses 1Password is now experiencing the same problem: They manually click on "login" on the upper right corner of the page, and a User Name, Password drop down box appears. Now use the 1Password browser assistant to fill in these fields. One gets the error "You have entered an invalid username or password. Please enter the correct details and try again. Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Click here!".
Instead filling in these fields manually by copying from 1Password (to insure entries are correct) and one logs in fine.
vBulletin itself has a forum http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/ where one can easily sign up and experience this problem.
I reported this last month to AgileBits. I heard nothing in reply, which is fine except that leaves me not knowing whether they "accepted" or "rejected" the problem. Update Version 4.0.7 (407005) didn't mention this issue, and it is not fixed. If I'm on my own to convince vBulletin to join the civilized world in engaging in standardized behavior, I need to know.
I'd like to see AgileBits display some leadership in documenting what is standardized behavior. Before, say, OS X Mavericks does, stealing market share. What web page can I point the vBulletin team to, that patiently explains how compliant web sites should be written?
