I suppose if you were to start a new site and want to post as different people to pretend there was some activity going on this might be good lol (split personality ^^ )

Or if you were to start a board for schizophrenics and people with other personality disorders.

This was one of the two mods you made Psionic Vision that were why I am still using 3.6.x.

I'll be upgrading this weekend, you're awesome.

I've just installed this, i've set up an additional Admin-Team account in the user profile section and linked it to my account but its not showing up anywhere, if i goto Usercp and edit details there is nothing showing there, or in the navbar, Ive got it set so that only admins can see and use this, does tha mean that it wont show on the navbar?? if so how do i switch accounts?

Also is it possible for my mods to use this aswell as there is a general Mods account that all the mods have access to so they can remain anonymous

The option is for linking and unlinking accounts. The links that are set up (no matter if through admincp or front-end) are usable by the linked users regardless of permissions.

Thanks for replying so quickly Psion, what i need to know is where are you supposed to be able to switch the accounts over? i've installed as instructed but i've still nothing showing in the navbar or in usercp>edit details as you have in the attached pics, i've no way of changing from username1 to username2 even though i've linked the accounts?
