Alters

[Wormopolis]

Browsers Tested: IE, FF, and Chrome
placement: global footer

This code will let you set up alternate characters for your members to post as. You will have to store all the character info in the code because ther just isnt enough room in a member;s profile to store everything. once a single line has been added for each character, they will get a drop down when they make a post that they can post as.

the post will show that character as the author, and even the name will be clickable to go to a "fake" character profile page. on that page there will be a link to recent posts by that character, as well as an optional link to a special "history" post that the member makes.

the member will see a drop down on their own normal profile showing all of their alters.
