Switching Between Identities
Once you have more than one identity, make sure you are posting using the correct one! The Identity menu lets you select which identity is writing a post or making a comment. It won't make any sense for a tectonic plate to be talking about his life as a cell! Be sure the correct identity avatar is visible at the top of your screen.
To switch between identities, hover over the Identity menu (your identity avatar) and click the identity you would like to use for posting on MySciLife.
