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.

Is it weird that I'm drunk and giddy with excitement from having to organise my accounts; work out who is going to link to who, etc? The OCD awesomeness is intoxicating. :lol

For anyone curious, it looks like it orders the accounts as per user number / date of creation / etc. :)

Yay! No more removing/adding the www or switching out the domain name for the ip address in order to have three accounts signed in at once!

Aw, who am I kidding, I'm probably going to keep doing that anyway. Still, awesome! :)

Thanks again to Ogre for taking the time to implement this.

Now everyone, time to schedule an hour out of your day to link all of your accounts together :mneh

Something Em and I just discovered.. remember that if you share an account with someone else, and you link it to your other accounts, that someone else will have access to all of your acounts.

:uhoh

Just remember... it is important to be responsible when sharing. You never know where the other person has been. *nods*
