Is there a way to have 2 or more accounts (ie, email addresses, I think that's the right term) open on gio at one time? It would be helpful to have a moderator and regular member account open at the same time to see how different settings are affected, etc, instead of having to log in and out (and in and out).
Thanks

Niman -- You can do this if one of the instances is opened in incognito mode (a Chrome term...I don't know what it's called using other browsers). Such instances do not share cookies, and thus you can effectively have two different logins open at the same time.

Disclaimer: I have not actually attempted this using any browser other than Chrome.

I look forward to the answer to this also. Changes made on the Owner page don’t look the same on a Member page.?

Dan,

I look forward to the answer to this also. Changes made on the Owner
page don’t look the same on a Member page.

I haven't tried Bruce's technique either, but using two different browsers is also effective. Or a desktop and a laptop or mobile device. Or.. any method that gets you two separate cookie storages.

My go-to choice is Firefox for my primary login (group ownerships) and Edge for my secondary login (an account that is only a member of those groups). Doing it this way may have a minor risk that something will appear significantly different in one browser than the other, but fortunately that's become much less frequent a problem in recent years.

And trying to coach a Member through a step-by-step process when you
are working from a ‘no limits’ Owner or Moderator page is tough.

Exactly.

The snip & sketch tool in Win10 (Shift+Window+S keystroke shortcut) is very handy for grabbing a quick screen shot you can paste into your email or chat. Now if only it had a feature to draw straight arrows (something I have a hard time with via mouse).

Awesome and Thanks, Shal and Bruce. I'm lucky and have two 32" monitors and three browsers loaded on my MAC - ergo, the Windoze options won't work; but I can possibly find a Mac way around them.

Dan,

MAC ...

Awesome. Load up two more browsers (or if some of those can do Bruce's trick) and you can have the pentafecta:

o Not logged in
o Logged in but not a member
o Logged in as a member
o Logged in as an moderator of limited permissions
o Logged in as an owner

but I can possibly find a Mac way

I'd be shocked if there weren't a facile way to handle screenshots on a Mac.

I always suggest storing screenshots in PNG format (not jpeg or other compressed formats) if you need to save it to a file. Direct copy and paste usually is uncompressed too.

Hi Niman,

If one of them is Firefox, you might want to try Multi-Account Containers add-in which keeps cookies and session details isolated between (color coded) tabs.? I haven't used it, but others have.? If you prefer separate windows (without the add-on), you can open multiple private windows in FF that won't share information.? That I have done a couple of times.

Rather than the Windows-10 snip function, I find the free version of "picpick" windows application to be preferred.

• It can be set to start from a user defined keyboard hot-key
• It has more options for method what and how to capture including a scrolling screen function that will scroll the current window copying the entire content rather than just the current screen content. (I have not found any other software to do that.)
• The captured shot is then presented in a graphic editor similar to MS Paint where you can edit if needed.
• You can also simply paste it into your desired location or save it as a file.

I have no interest in the program, other than finding it the most useful free utility for the purpose.

<command> <shift> <4> ?then select area to be saved

<command> <shift> <4> ?saves entire screen (including stuff you might not weant to show so be careful)

Since FF is your main browser, assuming it's a recent version, try using right click on a screen, then using "Take a Screenshot" (or try the default shortcut - CTRL+Shift+S [customizable].)? You do need to be careful that you're not within something like the reply window, but it will allow you to capture any part of the screen and will even scroll the window if needed.

Yes, quite easily.

Use two browsers, or use your browser's "Private Browsing" function.
That way you can log in with a second account.
