HedyG Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 like many players on BBO i have more than 1 nickname. is there a way to transfer my friends/enemy list from one to other without bothering Uday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uday Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 You cannot share a single friends list among multiple aliases (except via manual maintenance of the lists). Drop support@ a line and we'll eventually take care of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquiry Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I am trying this from memory, it is something like.... right click on your own name.. go to the friends tab.... find the friend list.... export it (save it as a text file)... log on as the second (and third and fourth) Idgo to friends tab....import the list... Someone who can log on currently can fine tune these instructions with the proper words for the options (export, import, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dodgy Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 you can't log on ben? :huh: there's no import function that I can see. I never did understand what the 'open list' and 'new list' options were really good for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotShot Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 If my memory does not fool me, you need TD rights to export and import friend lists!You would need them on both nicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedyG Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 thanks Ben , but that doesnt seem to work for common mortals :P so i'll ask support to help me as Uday so kindly suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Ok.. here it is.. click on your profile under your nick with all your friends....choose "save as" button and save it with something like hedyg_friends.txtclose the program and log in as second nicknameedit your profile, go to the friend tabchoose New list button.. go find the file you saved as above (hedyg_friends.txt)Open it...

Ben I have 5.0.3 and there is no "Save as" option (At least no for "common mortals").There is also no "new list" button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dodgy Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I think the extra buttons may be accessible only by users with Tournament Host rights. my other nicks don't have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tola18 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 just for couriousity.... for what reason do u use the second nick? A good reason is to be able to look at two different matches simultaneously. Or both boards in the same match. Or even play yourself somewhere and look at a match. - the matches often maddening slow. (you need also two different computers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gpm_bg Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 (you need also two different computers). Why not from the same computer simultaneously? Actually, that is the first step to selfkibitzing! :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gpm_bg Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Sometimes could be useful to transfer the friends list to other nick if you stop to enjoy with this one, and don't want to write down all of it and to reenter again.And as Hedy said to have other hidden for common eyes nick for calm play.

Finch Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 (you need also two different computers). Why not from the same computer simultaneously? Actually, that is the first step to selfkibitzing! :lol: Ordinary mortals can't log on twice from the same computer. You need two computers & two nicknames. The Walddk clan can, but they are a special case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I missing something (as is often the case) Should work. Go to friends tab. Click on "show enemy" button. Click on "save list as"... save as some file name. Go to second logon id., go to friends tab, click on show enemies... click on open file... that should do it...I have not, however tried this.
