  online at 2 servers?  

When I checked the online users list just now, I noticed this:
420Renegade
(RT)
420Renegade
(Fast)

how can he be online at 2 servers at the same time? Is there some kind of trick here, because when I try it, I get logged off at the other server...

the easiest way is just to use two different browsers...

if you`ve got a LAN at home it`s done without any problems. also, you can use multiple browsers and/or multiple UIs, but that`s trickier and usually pointless...

i think the user tracking part is done through http session tracking. if you can create multiple sessions on the same browser they should be treared as different users. supposedly, it`s just a hypothesis of mine...

btw, that`s why i`ve added that red flashing background for server name in my mods - i`m ususally tab-switching and i often used forms from another server by mistake. out of bp builds, things like that.

also, again on the mods (relevant only if you use them), i`m using a single global cache for data such as "empire name", "turns", "cash", "server" etc, so even if you faked your session id (assuming i was right with that hypothesis mentioned earlier in paragraph 2, of course) my mods would have problems...

Using different browsers should work but its also possible that he didnt log out of one of the servers just went back to the login page which would mean he showed as being logged into both for some time
