After the big SSO update yesterday on TD.W, It seems ti be the only site I can log into physically, and GA.W uses my username from there now. My karma transferred from there to here...
I personally, do not like the thought of having my accounts linked together. I expected to remain an anon in both sites, this appears to be a break of anonymity.
The mods on TD have made their intentions clear that they plan on building a wider community to go head to head with reddit. Your username here had always worked over there too and vice versa, you just had to log in separately on the 2 sites.
Just the opposite for me. My non-existent "karma" and login transferred from here to TD.W. Oh well just fake internet points I guess.
use 2 browsers to avoid this
unpopular opinion but i like that i can use both sites. i was a TD user and GAW lurker, and now i find that im logged in to both (thankfully remembered my pw) and can upvote and comment. im happy with it.
I have an entirely separate account here.
It gets confusing, I just received your notication on TD.W but had to come here in order to reply where I did not receive a notification.
Just logout of TDW and login here with a new account. Yes it will log you in there with your new account but you don't have to post under it.
If you are just having a quick browse there after being here with new account no problem so long as you remember to log out and re-login with your TDW if you want to post something there under your normal account.
Haha that probably sounds more confusing than I wanted it to.
what is stopping you from having a different account for both ?
You can already be logged into TD.W but not logged in at GA.W, so create or use 2 different accounts.
I cannot log in right now through GA.W, only through TD.W and it logs me into the same account on both sites simultaniously.
Is it your browser doing that ? saved passwords ?
Either use two browsers to maintain two separate accounts, or use two user profiles in one browser.
I can understand wanting anonymity, but your activity logs on your account are separate for each site. If anyone wants to see my TD.W comments while on GA.W, they can't; and vice versa. So if you just don't want people snooping around your account history, then it already has safeguards in place. Just info for anyone curious.
Not really a safeguard. Nothing stops them from just coming to the other sites and looking for your same username and seeing your history.
Browse in a private window or another session?
Interesting. I never signed up here but I guess my TD win account automatically works here now.
