Why is my new OSQA site not recognizing the registered users?

I am trying out OSQA and it will not recognize any of the three google based openid users I have registered, including the original admin address.

Note: Since the last time I was able to login, I pointed the username.webfactional.com to a new domain that I registered. The site loads at www.mynewdomain.com just fine, indicating that the DNS transfer happened well enough. Now however, it does not recognize my email as already belonging to an account and asks me to enter a new user name. Of course, re-entering the old one doesn't work, or a new one, as the email is already recognized.

Thanks to @Andrew_S I was able to look into the database and confirm that all three usernames and emails are still stored. I am mystified, and do not want to start all over again. Thanks.

I hope this isn't too naive a question, but ... In Admin > Users settings, you have got "Force unique email" switched on, haven't you?

From Hernani Cerqueira's answer to a similar question:

Google openid, is not a true openid, it generates an hash for each user for each domain, meaning that there's no way to tell if the user is the same when you login through different domains.
