I am currently testing a new code which will allow those of us with multiple characters to post as different characters while only logging in a single account. I'm not using it here yet, because the code is immensely large and I don't want to install it here and have it not work properly. Instead, I'm testing it over at one of my other boards, which never really took off. I would like to have you help me test it, if you are interested. All you have to do is go to this board 815familyrpg.proboards80.com/index.cgi and register at least two accounts. Don't worry if you don't watch the show or whatever, this is only a test. We can delete your accounts later. Register 1 account, and when you log in, click "include as alias." Then log out, register a second account, and again click on "include as alias" when you log in. Also select login "forever". Then post as each character in the Testing thread. I want you to do this, just to make sure it doesn't make anyone's computer freeze up or anything.If this code works, we will be able to have an endless amount of characters available to post from a single account. It may be preferable for those with extra characters on a single account to create separate accounts for each character.

OK, the Alias system is now set up. To make it work, here is what you have to do:
Log out.
Log in your first character, making sure you click on "include as Alias."
Log out.
Log in another character, making sure you click on "include as Alias."
Repeat as necessary for as many characters as you have.
You may want to make your "main" character that you use the most often be the last one you log in. When you log in the last character, make sure you click on "stay logged in Forever." Otherwise the aliases will clear when the account times out.
To post, go into a thread, and click reply. You will see a drop-down menu including all of your character names. Simply choose the one you would like to post as, and it will change you over to that account. Once you send your post, you will revert back to whichever account ends up as your "main" account. I think this is the last character you log in.

Hmmm. I've just discovered that the auto logout times still stand for each of the aliases. So if you log in a character as an alias of your main account, but don't click "forever" on the aliases as well as the main accounts, they'll still log out after 6 hours or whenever the logout time is. You can log them back in again, but I thought you should at least be warned. Bottom line: Stay logged in forever.
