This one is for the Role Players/Collaborative Fiction writers:

A request was recently made of me to add a feature that is available on other vBulletin boards. That request has been granted and the feature added/integrated into our forums, portal, and gallery (sort of works in the wiki too).

<b>Quick Account Switching </b>

To get started using this new feature, check out the main page of your User CP. In the center section near the bottom, there is an area where you can Link multiple User Accounts by inputting the username and password for said linked accounts. Once you have multiple accounts Linked, you can switch between them on nearly any SW-Fans.Net page by using the new drop down menu available to users with Linked accounts, located in the right most section above the top Navbar. The opposite end from your main User CP link.

Let me know of any feedback and or issues regarding this new feature and I'll try to resolve as possible.

One thing I see missing, which I do not have the time to add is the fact that the current styleset in use does not change to whatever you have set as the switched to user's default styleset, and instead remains as whatever style you are currently using.

Just noticed something -

If you ever manually select a style sheet, vBulletin seems to "remember" that selection, until you log out. Because you don't actually log out in order to switch accounts with the switcher, it doesn't dump that memory.

Not remotely a problem - if it happens, you can just log out and fix it, and what not. It just had me going "Huh?" for a while! :lol
