DESCRIPTION
This modification gives users the ability to easily switch between linked accounts. Accounts can be linked by administrators via admincp or by users via usercp as long as these users know the passwords for both accounts. Optionally, you can disallow users to link and unlink accounts from the usercp.

VERSION HISTORY
1.1.0 [+] Compatible with vBulletin 3.5.x - 3.8.x. [+] Removed all template modifications. [+] Added option to disable usercp controls for linking accounts.
1.0.1 [+] The modification is now officially compatible with vBulletin 3.6. [+] The hack has been optimized and now performs much less queries than before. [+] Users now can link accounts without an administrator as long as they know the passwords for both accounts.
I have noticed something weird. If I am on a forum and I do an account switch, I end up on the main page, and logged out, not switched to the new name. If I am on the main page, and try the account switch, it works just fine. Is there a reason this could be happening?
Suggested feature: Allow users to link accounts on their own (validated by the user being required to input the name and password of the other account). This would automate the linking process and not require the admin to have to link accounts individually.

I am looking for something like this but have a question. Like many here, I have a forum where there are more than one user in a household that use the same computer. Their issue is that when one spouse logs out the other one and then logs in under their own name, all the cookies are lost for the first one. Does this hack preserve the cookies for each account as they are switched between?
