2. Can I bypass the login page?
To have WebBoard remember you on future visits, check the Remember
my Password box on the login page. (If you don’t see the
checkbox, this feature is unavailable.) As long as you enter the board
from the same browser, WebBoard recognizes you, skips the login page,
and immediately displays the board’s conference list. To reverse
this setting, see Making WebBoard Stop Remembering Your Password on
the main page.

3. How can I log in as a different user?
You can set up more than one WebBoard account by registering under more
than one username. You may have more than one account to post different
types of messages in different conferences, or you may have multiple
accounts to receive mailing lists in different formats. Once you have
logged in to one account, the Login Again option lets
you move from account to account. You can also use the Login
Again option as a quick way to open a new account.
To log in as a different user after you’ve already logged in, follow
these steps:
- From the WebBoard menubar, click More. The More Options menu opens
- From the More Options menu, click Login Again. The WebBoard login page appears
- To log into another existing account, enter your login name and password and click Enter
- WebBoard logs you into the board as this user
To create a new account, follow these steps:
- Click New Users. The New User Information form opens
- Complete the information on this page, as discussed earlier in this chapter
- When you save the information, you are logged into the board as a different user

4. How do I go to another Board on the same site?
Many WebBoard sites have more than one Board, each with its own set of
conferences and messages. When you click the List Boards link,
WebBoard displays a list of all the boards on this site that you have
visited.
To go to another board on the same site, follow these steps:
- From the WebBoard menubar, select More. The More Options menu opens
- From the More Options menu, click List Boards. A list of boards appears
- Click a board name to go to that board. If the board requires a different form of authentication from the current board, you will be asked to provide your login name and password
Note that these are the same across all boards on a site unless you
have more than one account. If you have administrator or manager privileges
on any board, a key icon follows the board’s name.

To have WebBoard no longer remember your password (so you will see the
login page every time), follow these steps:

- From the More Options menu, click Login Again. The WebBoard login page appears
- Make sure there is no check in the Remember my password checkbox
