A Few Questions on Global

[Dan]

Can I have some clarification regarding multiple accounts? As a roleplayer it's normal for me to have multiple accounts on one board, when we link them up to the global account do they lose their individual usernames? Like I won't be able to have firstnamelastname1 and firstnamelastname2 on the same site? I'm mildly confused by this.

The global login simply means you won't have to enter multiple usernames/passwords. There are other features offered, but each account can remain individual.

You will still have multiple usernames with multiple display names. That will not change. What changes is that you will login with your email address one time.

As a role player you're going to love the new system. You can switch between accounts in 2 clicks. Go try to register a second account on v5 right now using the same email you have for your current account.

When you login you get to pick which account you want to be on the forum. Once you're logged in as one of them click on this icon, in the bottom right (in the "You are currently logged in as" bar). Then click your second account. You can switch back and forth in seconds. Perfect for a roleplayer with multiple characters.

Oh hello, pretty new buttons for me to play with. This is definitely something worth exploring, and it'll clean up the amount of coding forum owners have to add now! It always kinda sucked having to add a quick log in on a sidebar or something, but thanks for the clarification on this!
