I had a look to the “false closed” tickets and I saw that the most of them were requests for deleting the account [...]
As you probably know, two days ago a user alerted us about an issue with the access via Google/Gmail procedure.
We temporarily sidestepped the problem avoiding the creation of new accounts via Google/Gmail, and immediately after this, started to work on the support of Google Friend Connect.
It was a bit complicated because Google Friend Connect doesn’t support [...]
