I've implemented automatic logon for on RootAdmin[^] for those already logged into CodeProject.
I'd love some guinea pigs who are logged into CodeProject, but not logged into RootAdmin, to pop on over and let me know if they see a message at the top of the window regarding their login status.

It did not work for me. I tried both with my IE8 and Chrome (Version 23.0.1271.97 m) running on WinXP SP3.
I have never been to RootAdmin before, does that matter?

Message at top: Welcome back Richard MacCutchan. You will be logged in after refreshing this page.
However, when I refreshed it just repeated the same message. When I tried to sign in manually it took me to the "Setup my Account" page. I updated my details and clicked "Create" but it seemed to have a problem and took me to the "bad hamsters" page.
Chrome 23.0.1271.97 m
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I just tried using Chrome. It successfully identified who I was, but when I followed the instructions and clicked refresh, it didn't log me in.

I have set up my account on RootAdmin and now the automatic logon works in Chrome. It takes a few seconds before the message to refresh the page gets displayed, but once I click on "refresh", I am logged in.
But it does not work the other way around...

as in: if you're logged into RootAdmin and not in CodeProject, then when visiting CodeProject you're not automatically logged in? This is by design, but can potentially be changed (though potentially messy)

Exactly.
I can imagine it could get ugly and I was just messing around to see if it would work (guess I should have used a joke icon somewhere). I don't see a problem with it not working that way.

It didn't log me on automatically but I hadn't set up an account there.
I then set up an account but I could not use the same account info as CP as it said:Quote:
Items that need attention:
The email you supplied has already been registered. Please choose another, or try retrieving your password if that is your member email.
I set up an account with a different email and that doesn't log me in automatically either - although I wonder how it could with a different email id?

OK, that was quite cool, but...

Could you delete my not very old "forogar" account on rootadmin so that your "create using the info from CP" feature can do it - or better yet, recognize the similarities enough to be able to merge them.

Please update your settings to complete your login - with a cute little X on the right.

It was the "x" that was the hard part.

When I di go to create an account it was prepopulated nicely with the CP data. Didn't bother creating an account, I have almost no interest in the subject matter!

Tried again just now with Chrome and it asked for the refresh, and then logged me in successfully.
