I have been looking for a modification that allows users to change accounts quickly. That's perfect for a roleplaying board where one user has many account. So despite of what has been written here, I installed it. And until now it seems to work. I'm running vB 4.1.5 PL1 and I don't have any issues with the profile pictures or avatars. Howevery, there was something odd: When a user chanes the account while being in ones profile, the old profile is still displayed. I've not yet told my users about this modification because I'm still testing, but so far it looks good.

@FReeSter: I'm sorry, but I don't understand what your problem is.. it sounded quite confusing to me. Can you explain what exactly you did and where the problem is? Maybe I haven't stumbled across this yet.

And @Cykelmyggen: Now that's strange... It seems like the script is checking if you have the neccesary rights to administer users. Do you have any addons installed?

I use thisand like it.

Question,.. anybody know how to move the link from the navbar and into the header??

I just want it in the header, but I cant seem to attach it to a hook in the header.

Help !!

[smirkley]

Sorry for the bump, but I am really hoping to figure out how to move the link into the header.

It seems I have to make a hook, and register? it and then reference the install xml to this new hook?

Really hoping for a bit of help here from the members, I know the author doesnt support others modifications, so i ask of the members.

Thanks

[FReeSTER]
