Default Mod for posting as alternate users?

SMF has a cool mod for anyone who is starting a new forum where you can post a thread or reply as an alternate user.

its really helpful for starting conversations on new forum as you can create a batch of users and have your own conversation to make it appear the forum is active

is there anything like this for vbulletin?

That's a good idea - I'm not sure if it exists, but there is a "log in as another user" mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228077 . But I guess the point is not having to change users, so that mod isn't a lot better than just logging out and back in as another user. It would be good to be able to choose when posting.

ye i saw that but as you said its not really that helpful

damn was hoping vbulletin would have something like this, was super helpful when my forum was on SMF

It just had a box above the title box and you would just type in the first few letters of the name and a list would pop up showing you all the members containing those letters, click what one you want and then post away

Someone please create this for vbulletin

I might look at doing that, it doesn't sound too difficult. Is that an SMF mod or a built-in feature?

Yeah, sorry about that - I was actually almost done a couple weeks ago and got distracted then never got back to it. Do you want to test it for me? (I know if you're trying to pretend to be multiple users, testing it a bit risky).

There was this mod for 3.8: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=217771
But it was never upgraded to 4.x.

Thanks, I'll look at that. I did a search before starting on it but didn't think to search for any of those words.
