Multiple Facebook Accounts

Just downloaded 1.0, have to say it's a huge improvement, MY World working much better and finally the problem with the media bar not being able to see private flickr pictures has finally been fixed.

Anyway I just wanted to make a suggestion. Would it be possible to let Flock remember multiple facebook accounts and log into them whenever they are clicked on in the people bar? Both my wife and I use facebook and so it means we have to keep logging in and out all of the time, when it would be better to click between the 2 accounts.

Thanks again for the great browser.

Hello,

Thanks for the kind words. :)

You can currently have two Facebook accounts in Flock, and the Accounts&Services sidebar will remember them. You will, however, have to log out and log into the current person's account when you want to switch. This is how browsers work: you can't be logged into the same site with two accounts at the same time, because cookies clash.

Flock on,

That is generally true but there is a wa to be logged into 2 Facebook accounts at the same time on the same computer. He is right that the cookies will clash so use 2 different browsers. You can user Netscape, Foxfire, Internet Explorer, you have many choices. Cookies are browser based, not computer based so the cookies from Netscape can't be read by Foxfire.

There is a simple solution to display both accounts on the same time, although it doesn't work with the Flock sidebar. Just download and install the IE Tab extension for firefox, so u can load one of the accounts with the IE engine without leaving your favourite browser.
