This thread shows you how to validate your security information, for people who were having trouble with the hack.

So you can change all the templates at once, I went to styles and templates>search in templates>find and replace in templates, had it find the first line of text in the url above and replace it with that line and the add on line. Make sure you click to permanently replace rather than test replace otherwise your changes won't stick.

Good luck and happy hack use!

BTW, this works on a 3.7 board guys. :D

Thanks for that!

NP. I figure if I can figure it out, I might as well share with everyone else. :D

this hack is not working on my 3.7.3 anybody know why?

Yep, that did it for me.
It's working fine.

Thanks.

Anybody have this working on 3.7.3?

working great on 3.8.1 once you fix the templates

Brilliant!! Thank you, this is EXACTLY what my users were looking for.

Has anyone figured out a way to put the switch thingy on the post form? Because that would be really really handy.

Can you explain where you'd like to see that option? I'm not sure where you mean.

When you're composing a post you know that area in the upper right that says "you are logged in as ___ " ? That's where I mean.

Why couldn't you just switch up top and then use the post form?

There's no reason why not, I was just wondering if it was possible. (I wasn't criticizing, just wondering.) It's a great, handy Mod. :)

I understand you are not criticizing (and it would be perfectly fine even if you did), I was just curious as to why you would need the switch to be in the form if it's already on every page.

It is certainly possible and too difficult, maybe I will implement it later. :)

P.S. This hack was just updated to eliminate all template edits and make it compatible with 3.7.x+.

Well don't laugh, but suppose you were having the board version of a costume party, and you had more than one 'costume,' it would be handy to be able to switch as you were replying to posts. It's no big deal, I just wondered. In any case thanks for this Mod, which has been invaluable for games. :)

Using a board for costume party sound interesting.

Oh it can be a lot of fun! And it's a handy thing to do for special events/holidays. Especially Halloween. Everyone wears a 'costume' and at the end of the night people guess who they really are before they 'reveal' themselves. Awards for best costume, best character and so on. It's one of my staples. :)

Thanks very much for the update!

Lostgirl - that sounds like fun! :) Thanks for the idea. ;) May just have to try that.

So can this be used for 3.8.3 now?

Yep.

This is exactly what I've been needing. Thanks:) Keep up the great work!

Are there any plans to make a vBulletin 4.0 compatible version of this mod?

I need this for vB 4.2.2
