Messageboard Feature Request: Multiple Default Aliases


Website Feedback


I have made my default alias the alias that I post most often, which is one in a pbp campaign.

But I find that when posting elsewhere, I tend to forget that I need to change the alias to an appropriate one. As a result, my default alias now appears in the listings for a campaign he is not in.

Is there a way to have a different default alias for threads in a specific campaign? If not I would like it if there was.

This is one of the features that's on my list to add to my Paizo Forum Tools browser extension.

More support would give me the time I need to add this and other features.


Interesting, and thanks for the link.

I would prefer it be built into the system of the messageboards though, since I often post from a computer at work.

This is actually a feature we'd like to see too! We have it on our wishlist and have forwarded this on to our tech team, but cannot promise any ETA for the feature due to the other projects they have in process and their backlog.


Can I get all my aliases to be default aliases:-D

I find black coffee can reduce pissed-off-levels.


Ha! I smurfed you! Lol!


What if it was made so we could favorite with all our aliases instead of just one per person, that way I could inflate my favorites of any particular posts into Mikaze like orbit.

In the other hand it's kind of gouache to favorite your own posts.

Rather than several defaults, I would like to see the option to set a Default alias for each campaign.

Most people only uses one alias in each campaign, so it should be easy to find out that alias (the campaign player's tab already does it). Another alternative is to pre-select the last alias you used in that thread. That should even work for all the forums not only campaigns. That way if you want to start posting with a different alias, you have just to change the combobox with your next post and from then on, the combobox will have that alias pre-selected in that thread.

I believe this is half-done already, because if you look at the combobox, the alias you are usually using in the campaign appears always at the top of the selector list. It would be a matter of pre-selecting it in addition to place it as the first option and most problems of posting with a wrong alias will end up.

Captain Yesterday, I am shocked that you would be so blatantly self-absorbed and self-interested.


I just want my name to be my default alias nowadays

You favorite'd your own post, isn't that like laughing at your own joke because no one else will:-D

But really as long as we're talking about me that's all that matters. now, where did I put that kid...


For anyone coming here looking for this, I've just added it as a feature in my Paizo Forum Tools browser extension.
