I thought that, when the web version first appeared, it was possible to make several log-ins with different aliases all at the same time.
It was often advertised as a way to watch 2 or more vue-graphs at the same time.

I can't do it now.

Has that facility been cancelled?
Was it ever there?
Is it still there? If so - how do I do it?

Log in anonymously - "look around our site" certainly works for multiple log ins. Also you can log on at the same time with different non-anon logins.
I currently have all 4 vugraph tables going at one.

The only thing you can't do is log on multiple times with the same id.

I'm not sure what this means - will do some research.

1. Great - I can make multiple "anon" log-ins and kib at several tables at once. :)
2. Awwww - I can only log-in once with a real alias. When I try a second real (different) alias, the first disconnects automatically. :(

Does this mean that you can log in as a guest and kibbitz a hand that you are playing with a genuine ID, all from the same computer? Not sure I like the sound of that, but then although I have not tried it I would not expect it to be possible. As I recall, the BBOTV route only gets you to the viewgraph sessions?
