I was hoping the animated image (shown when clicking "login" on the website) would of been enough but I'll see about revising the Info Board shown in my store to clarify this too. The way I implemented it is as follows. when someone clicks the Info Board in the store, all that happens is an authentication cookie is stored in their browser, so at that point they're not really logged in (no login cookies or database record etc). It just allows them to log in by clicking a "login as [avie name]" link during that site visit if they intend to leave feedback. This means the site database only includes details of those that leave feedback, and not everyone casually visiting the website. I'll see about adding "Login" to the Info Board, though it'll mean people initially click "login" on the sign, then "login" on the site too. I'll have a ponder about that. Congrats on being the first to leave feedback anyway. That at least confirms the login and automatc account creation works. I did plenty head scratching how to implement that without resorting to hacking the core Wordpress files. Thanks for the feedback Pan.

If one started at the website, the link back to it from SL is not obvious as the place to click to login. Best, Pan Anthony -
