I'm new to PB, so I don't know if something's broken or if I'm doing
something wrong. When I open a PBID, I only have the option to message
or follow the user from one of my Twitter accounts. Selecting
different accounts either at the top of the stack or in the upper left
of the dashboard has no effect--the same account always appears in the
PBID.

The account that appears in the PBID is the one that is appearing at
the upper right of my dashboard next to the search box. Not sure if
that has anything to do with it or why that account is selected to
appear there. What does that indicate? Is there a way to change which
account appears there?

Thanks!
Carrie

Thanks Carrie for this feedback.
You're right: from the PBID you can only send messages using your
login account (the one that you see in the top right corner)
When you reply inline (in the stream) by clickling on the reply button
appearing over the avatars, you can select which of your accounts to
use to post your update.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Priscilla

Thanks, Priscilla.

Is there a way to follow someone from a different account than my
login account? I don't see that option inline.

Also, this has raised a new question: The login account showing in the
top right corner is different today than it was yesterday. I can only
have one login account, right? Also, when I click the "FLW" button
inline, the shown login account (in the upper right) doesn't follow
the person, but the real login account--the one that was showing
yesterday--does follow the person. Is there a secret way to switch
back and forth between login accounts?

Thanks!
Carrie

You can use any Twitter or Facebook account to log into PeopleBrowsr.

If you have logged into an account @XYZ and see @ABC in the upper
right corner, please let us know. Please include a screenshot of the
upper right corner, and the droplist that appears under the "To"
button"

If you have added multiple twitter accounts under one of your logins
(via the Accounts menu, and adding additional accts) you can follow
from any of those accounts. In the post box in the stack, mouse over
the avatar until you see the post-actions menu come up. In that menu
you'll have the option to follow from any of the accounts that you've
added.

Thanks,
