To post a comment you must log in.
The solution I have gone for is:
- If the selected user is the autologin one then
- Show the login button as "Log In In x Seconds"
- Animate that every second, and log in when the timer reaches zero
- If the selected user is changed (by mouse click or arrow keys) then the timer is cancelled.
