Post as someone else, getting usernametaken error when trying to post

[Sarteck]

lol, I dunno about advanced features.... But all right, I'll keep working on mine, and I'll put up the code when it's more-or-less complete.

There's a bunch of stuff I've got floating in my head for this project--it'll have a Persona List to which you can add, or "delete" personas. Adding one will basically create a new user account (with random password and e-mail). Deleting one just basically removes the "Master" ID (a private userfield containing the userid of the controlling account), so that it cannot be used anymore.

I've currently got it set up for handling posting as a Persona (now working flawlessly) and being able to edit a Persona's avatar/signature by use of a Drop-down SELECT element with the User's ID/name and all personas belonging to them. I haven't even bothered testing that bit out yet, heh.

Later, I'd like to integrate VMs, PMs, and maybe even Blogs/Blog Comments as the Persona, essentially making Personas as sub-accounts controlled by a user's main account.

There will be a number of Admin-controlled options --- amount of Puppets a user can have, which RP the character belongs to (only essential if GMs are allowed to see the User behind the Persona), usergroups able to create persona, forums where Persona can be used (for example, we only want to allow the persona to be used in our RP section), and then a bunch of stuff that's specific to the multi-RP system I've been working on (character stats and such).

Despite the load of my-forum-specific junk I'll be putting on there, I'm trying to design it with use on other forums in mind--I really think a lot of Role Play forums would love to have this kind of modification.

It's also a system I've been thinking about for years (ever since before WBS was taken over by GO/Infoseek back in the late `90's, since I was actually an avid RPer back then, heh). I've got loads of ideas for it, and I'm just trying to make thm all realized in code now that I know enough.

Anyways, I'll post updates when I've got something close to an alpha ready. XD
