Multis Problem

[Emrys Nimbus]

Well, I'm sure a few of the members around here are getting on in lots of 'multiples', or multiple characters. So, when Alias took it's leave of abscence, it was a bit of a cow.

I'd like to provide a little tip however.

As you may of noticed, our URL is duelacademyusa.proboards85.com .

However, our URL ALSO works on such links as...

duelacademyusa.proboards.com
duelacademyusa.proboards84.com
duelacademyusa.proboards83.com

And so on and so forth.

Now, note as you click on those, if you sign into one of those links, the newest link is logged out.

To put the long story short, I currently have one tab with Meskhenet Kephri open, one tab with Emrys Wylt open, and one tab with Mizuki Haruka open.

When a good friend of mine discovered this for his own website, I nearly squeed. Basically all it means is if you put a different number at the end of proboards.com, like proboards53.com or something, and then our duelacademyusa, then you can have different accounts.

Just thought I'd pass it out as general information!

PS: Any smartass remarks or groaning about how Alias was so much better then this- or about Alias in general or it's creator- will make me lock the thread.

So that's how you did it!

You've been keeping this secret to your self!

Actually, no, I have five web browsers. IE, FF, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari. THAT'S how I had been doing it. XD

>.> I told you about this months ago. Granted, I didn't know it worked for every number, but Shelby and I were messing around and discovered this long, long before Alias.

A note - if you store passwords in Firefox, the stored passwords won't work on other 'numbers'.

[Emrys Nimbus]

Yes, but you never told the others and I was reminded of it while he was doing work on his site. Besides, it can work that way. Set all of your accounts to the same password.

What she means is Firefox won't remember passwords from proboards85 on proboards84.

That's because this works by tricking your browser into thinking each different number is a different web site altogether. Since your browser thinks you're at a different San Melina, it lets you log in with a different account.

[Emrys Nimbus]

Ah, alright... so it's a little bit more of an issue then, but you'd be able to sort it out by placing a folder in your favourites for San Melina, and then putting as the names of the links within the bookmarks, for example, "Syaoran Cascada", "Emrys Wylt", "Mizuki Haruka" and so on. I've also implemented a code so that the site automatically switches the login period from "6 Hours" to "Forever". It can be changed, but it helps in this case.

As of 11:30 AM EST-DST today, this is no longer possible.
Proboards seems to now auto-link to eliminate the server number.
