How does everyone feel about this? Does anyone have any reason why it shouldn't be this way?
But yes, it is a good idea.

ive got 2 or 3 different emails addys over my few accounts -- will any links that are already made be broken up if you do this?

But it's a very good idea.
>> The way accounts are linked now, they are all accessed from the lowest numbered account. Will this still apply with automatically linked accounts, or will they be accessable from any account in the linked combination? After all, some people have stopped using their earliest accounts, due to either lost passwords, identity changes, or on rare occasions, banning.
>> If people have used multiple email addresses to register, can they still request to link accounts from the two email addresses, or will they need to transfer all their accounts to one email address?
>> Will linked accounts be a feature enabled in someone's member profile(s), or will it occur automatically for everyone?
>> Will this have an impact on any information in the member profiles? For example, will everyone have to retype their sigs? If so, the idea may meet some resistance from people who have had to tweak their sigs for best fit or appearance.
If I think of any more, I'll let you know.

All accounts will be accessible no matter which one you're logged in as. Technically I can do that now, but it requires me entering more records into the account link database.

I'm thinking after I put the change in to not do custom link requests anymore. The accounts should all belong to the same person (and hence the same email address), and you can always check the "make my email address private" if you want to hide the association.

It'll be automatic. All existing accounts will be automatically linked together and all new accounts will automatically link in, because I won't be maintaining a seperate "linked account" list anymore, it'll just do a quick grab of all the accounts with the given email address when it shows the "Post as" list.

Nope. Everything else will be exactly the same and unchanged.
