CAVEAT:
This was done as a quick-and-dirty hack, and so may not look the best (transition screens especially, in the small window). I don't intend to develop this any further, and it was done as a quick-and-dirty solution to another users' problem. Caveat Hacker!

Really nice, thanks.

BTW, the link is supposed to be https://www.ubbdev.com/vinkulum/misc/id_switcher.zip

heh, thanks.

I get a java eror: line 1 char 1 object expected.
--------------------------
never mind, I was placing it in the extra header section. After switching ID, is is possiple to add a close button link that will auto refresh the page that we came from for change to take effect automatically?

Thanks again, Borg! *hugs, goes to install*

Works great on BW ^_^

The instruction line is missing however (You know, the one that tells to use username||password) but after I explained it to my users they figured it out

One thing though, in the instructions it says to add it to the general display (It was worded different, I think, but that's how I first took it) I got a Java error, then added it to my Style template and poof! Works perfectly.

Thus far everyone is VERY pleased with it. Easy to use and once they learn, they can switch chars quite efficiently. (However the no-scroll on the java pop-up my be annoying to a couple of people that I know, one of whom has over 100 regularly played characters o.o;; would it be alright if I edit that?)

It had very good timing too, due to the fact that yesterday we had to delete out member database and start anew (over 900 members in 24 hours...Never knew we were -that- popular :D), and the members who were irked at losing all the posts they had worked for (Most members averaged 500 posts, with the highest having over 3000 since November o.O;

Anyway I'm rambling now so I'll just shut up. *Snicker* Once again thank you for the hack! I love it

it cant work on ubb 6.04a

It works fine on 6.04a. Uploading a script and putting things into the header qualifies as hard?

I've had this installed for a long time now, but just today I found out that it won't work for names with apostrophes in them. Could someone make it so it does work for them? Thanks.

and another

Nice hack Ell Borgo, I will install this ASAP.

bump, I still need the modification to this...
