The new and improved forum tips and tricks thread (since we have changed forums from our original home)
Account Switcher: Perfect for those with multiple characters. Head to 'User CP' and find 'Account Switcher' in the bottom left. Enter the username and password of the account(s) you would like to connect. Please be aware that this information is public, so if you have characters you would not like to be known make sure you select 'Hide this User on attached accounts list'. Once you're connected there are multiple ways to switch between accounts - in the grey User CP bar at the top of the main screen, by each account's associated posts, and in the three bar menu in the top left.
You can also easily change a post's author (before or after posting). If you post the wrong account in error, make sure you are in that character's account and then use the blue drop down arrow next to your name on the specific post you want to change. It will allow you to change it to any of your connected accounts.
NOTE that if you switch accounts while in the posting box it will WIPE anything you've already written and you'll have to start again.
Who's Who: You can find a stickied Who's Who thread on the General Discussion board. You can also quickly view all attached accounts by clicking the "account search" icon at the top of the page.
PMing/replying to multiple users: You are able to address PMs to more than one member (perfect for plotting), however please be aware that if you use the "quick reply" feature it will ONLY reply to the member who sent the PM, and not the others originally copied in. If you wish to reply to everyone, you need to select "reply all" to do this.
