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.
Nice hack, once i change from admin account to another it then only gives me the option to go back to admin account even though i have linked 4 accounts.
Is this how it should work or should i be able to go from one account to any other account.

To clarify though, you could just edit each of the 4 accounts to link the other 3. Then no matter which account you switch to, you could always switch back, correct?
Brilliant! I'll test this out on my test site. For my recent "mark forums read" hack I had to have an admin acount in FF open and a user acount in IE and one in Opera open so I could make hundreds of posts while testing. This would have made that much easier.
I am not sure what purpose this serves. Unless as an admin, you want to quickly change to another account to test a feature. I would like to see this ability given to the users.
However, in order to link to another account, they have to know the username and password for that account. They should be able to link to an admin set number of accounts too. I run an RPG board and my users have multiple accounts.
