This host has by far the best account switcher I've seen.
* User CP --> Micellaneous --> Linked Accounts.
Fill in the usernames and passwords of all accounts you wish to link to each other. After you've linked at least two accounts, on the top right corner (under the forum logo) appears "Switch Accounts" link and by clicking it you'll get to choose which account you want to log in to and it'll do it in two seconds. That way it literally signs you in with the chosen other account.
* But you don't have to always log in.
When you're starting a new thread or posting a reply, you'll find the same drop-down menu at the top of the form. So if you want to post something on your character account but are currently on your OOC account you can just choose the character from that menu and it will get posted on that one - while you still remain logged in on your OOC account. But note that creating a new thread that way will still display your OOC username as the thread's starter on the thread listing page.
* That drop-down menu is also attached to the post editing page. Which is extremely handy and brilliant. You can change the account a post was sent on on the edit page instead of having to delete and re-post. Like, if I started a Wanted Ad on my character Hunter's account but later thought I'd rather have it posted on Jacob's or on my OOC account I could change it from that menu. For gaming this is especially great; if you accidentally post to a thread with the wrong character, you can correct it from that menu in a few clicks.
I love it!
