Sock puppet management! There are a few club/event specific accounts on the Edge now. If you are in charge of one of these accounts you can now link it to your personal account to make posting easier.
Go to your settings page, under 'Other setting pages' you will now find a link to 'Manage alias accounts'. To add an alias enter the username & password of the other account then click 'Add new alias'. You will now find a set of radio buttons on the main new post form where you can select which user you wish to post as, meaning no more logging in & out of different accounts.
Alias accounts only work one way. Consider 3 accounts:
- A: Your personal account
- B: A friend's personal account
- C: An account for an event you are organising
You add C as an alias to your account A so you can easily post announcements about your event.
You share C's login details with B who also sets up C as an alias so that they can post announcements too.
Both A and B can post as C.
B will NOT be able to log in as C and post as A.
Isn't that fantastic Marvin?
