Global / Master Account Toolbar

[Mini Mia]

One of the new things about the upgrade is that all of your forums and accounts get linked together. This gives you only one password to know, and when you're logged into one forum/account, you can use your global/master account to go back and forth between all the other forums and accounts without having to log out and back in again.

On the bottom right of your screen, you'll see that Proboards has added a tiny toolbar. The images on the tiny toolbar are:

-- -- --

-- Switch Account: If you have more than one account on a forum, you can switch between them by clicking on this image on the toolbar.

-- Switch Forum: If you are a member of several Proboards forums, you can switch between them by clicking on this image on the toolbar.

-- Account Settings: Clicking on this image on the toolbar will take you to your 'behind the scenes' Global/Master account. You can make changes to it there. If you click on 'Forum Accounts,' you can move your list of boards up and down the list, ordering them as you please.

-- Clicking on this image on the toolbar will collapse it.

-- Clicking on this image on the toolbar will expand it.

If you used different email addresses for forums/accounts, they may not link. If you'd like them to all be attached, then you will need to 'unlink' the account. I did that by logging into my Support board account, changing the email addy to the one I wanted to be linked to, changed my password to the password I used for the one I want it linked to, then I went into the account settings and 'unlinked' the account. When I logged into it again, it was linked to the account I wanted it to. Then I logged out and logged back in to the other account and deleted it.

Need help with this, or need me to make my gibberish clearer, just ask.
