Xnews Setup Information

Part 3 - 'Identities'

This tab sets the global details (i.e. those used unless otherwise specified in the 'Servers - Custom' tab) that are displayed when posting with Xnews.

All the entries for this tab have the same function as those on the 'Servers - Custom' tab. Additional functions are described below.

New: Click this to create a new identity. This allows a completely separate set of details to be entered for Name, E-Mail etc. Clone: This creates a new identity with the same value as the currently-selected one. Useful if you only need to change one or two values. Delete: Deletes the currently-selected identity.

A separate identity may be useful if you want to post with a different persona to different servers.

Server-specific identities should be set in the 'Identity to use with this server' field on the 'Servers - Basic' tab.
