I have the new codex logins working, actually. It is a rather simple MediaWiki plugin. The upgrade to the support forums did set me back a bit as I had to rework the code to handle the new password hashing mechanisms. I'll install it as soon as I get the unified cookie system working, so that logging into one place will log you into all of them. :) -Otto _______________________________________________ wp-docs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-docs
