[Wishlist] - /username command

[mmjr2000]

Hi,
We know we can change "nicknames" and at this time nicknames are only temporarily.
It would be nice to use the chat to easily switch between registered names.

So for example let's say I have (2) usernames: User1 and User2.

User1 is logged in chat and I want to log in to User2. However I have to go to the wrench icon > log off > etc!

It would be nice if we can type:
/username User2 and if the system detects it and knows it is a registered username it should prompt the user for the password of that account.

This way if I just want to log on a regular name vs a admin name I can do that and when my admin name is needed I can easily switch to it using a quick command.

Hi,

This should really only be in place for admins/moderators to change from a normal account to their moderator account, or vice versa.

Or do you think any user can register as many accounts as they wish?

It's possible to create verified accounts, that aren't spammers.
Admin, you should research an addon called ''StopForumSpam''. It works well for us.

Hi,
That is a good point! However I don't think there would ever be a way at least with the current development of the software to prevent other users from having more than one account, unless possibly you're using the chat with some sort of integration with vBulletin for example.

This idea was going to coming up with a upcoming follow up of a wishlist. I'm keeping the wishlist a bit separated vs all in one wishlist because I believe the last time I had posted over 30 ideas into one forum / topic and I don't think it created a whole buzz vs writing these ideas separately.

Stay tuned! I have lots more ideas coming...

Ours is integrated with vBulletin.

But that doesn't stop someone using Twitter, Yahoo, Facebook, etc, to appear as a registered user.


There were a lot of good ideas before the forum was revamped.
