Thinking of shifting to Dreamwidth

[sqbr]

So LJ has finally crossed the line for me by not only having pop up ads which infect people's computers with a virus but infecting one of my friends in particular.

I have thus decided I will at some point swap over to cross-posting the stuff that currently goes in alias_sqbr from alias_sqbr (yes, keeping lj comments enabled).

But before I can do that I need to know: is there any easy to switch between two dreamwidth accounts? Preferably one that works in Safari.

*Tests out the crossposting footnote thing, which I only just figured out*

Via the network, hoping that's okay

I haven't tried it myself, but this looks like it might do the trick:

Yeah, how dare you come in and be really helpful and answer my question!!!

By which I mean: thanks :)

*pokes* Hmm. That's not quite what I was after, since I want to be able to do more than just post entries, I want to switch. But it's definitely in the right direction.

I know they've said they want improved switching methods to make it more convenient for people in RPGs, so it may be that there's something better in the pipeline.

*nods* That's the impression I get from yvi (see comment below)

Also your icon is awesomely strange :)

It's on the list of things DW wants to implement: http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76

If you're logged in as the
main account, you should be able to comment as/update as/manage settings
for/etc any of the alternate accounts, preferably with inline AJAX that will
reload/redraw things (so you have access to userpics, tags, etc) without having
to load the Work As User menu and re-input your password.

As far as I know, this is also supposed to work for commenting etc.

Ah, ok. Well, that will be cool when it's done, I guess we'll have to see if my patience with lj wears through first :)

What I do is have two browsers on my computer -- one to stay logged in as denise, one to stay logged in as synecdochic. If you use Firefox, you can also set up an extension like CookieSwap!

Re: Via the network, hoping that's okay

[sqbr]

HMM. That could work, at least on one of my computers *ponders*

Re: Via the network, hoping that's okay

[denise]

Yeah, the main/alternate account system is something I totally want to do, to make things easier, but we haven't gotten to it yet. The separate-browsers thing is a nice workaround, though.

If you don't mind me asking, what's your second browser of choice?

Re: Via the network, hoping that's okay

[denise]

One browser's Safari, the other's Firefox.

I'm looking to replace IE for my second login ^^; I'll check Safari out, thanks!
