Screenshot hub feature for members... in BYOND Discussion

So, I am a member on this key {Moussiffer}. But I have another key {Rising-Phoenix Productions} in which I use to make and place my game's hub. I am not a member on Rising-Phoenix but I am a member on Moussiffer... Since all my hub entries are on the other key and it is not a member, I can not add screen shots to it, to show off my game.

I understand that BYOND wants to make members benifits seperate from non-members, but is there a way to allow members with mutiple keys (I only have two) to be able to transfer benifits from one to the other (Maybe not all, but very basic ones) Or... If a member key is added to a non-member key's hub to allow it to be changed, is there a way (If there isn't already) to allow the members benifits to still work on the hub of the non-member hub?

Don't get mne wrong... I like BYOND... But I'm honestly not about to waste the money buying a membership for the other key when I hardly use it. And seeing as how I create mutiple games under that other key so they arent linked to my personal key... I really dont want to have to transfer the hub information from one key to another. And then end up having a useless key. Im sure this would help out a some members.

And then only one person would ever have to buy a membership and pass it around to everyone <.<

Yes, I think this should work already. You can edit a hub page to add 'helpers', which are given access to edit it as well. So you can just log into your key that owns the hub and add your BYOND Member key as a helper, then log into that key and edit the hub as you see fit.

Yeah, because there's no way they could limit it to only share hub benefits with one key or something similar.

But would this allow the member key to add screen shots?

As I've already said, I think it would - I don't see why not. But why not just try it instead of ask?

Because it was easier to ask on here then to test it on my own? Lol... Plus if i ask on here, and someone says that it cant be done, then we can have a giant discussion about it and it could be added to the next update. :P Like most of the huge talks about things on this forum. Ill test it out and post the results when i do.

Either way, you should get your key listed as a helper so you can edit the hub without having to log in on the other key.
