Um cant change?

Try a different browser. Clear cache. Also try typing flush DNS in command prompt.

I have recreated your situation and was successfully logging in and switching characters, so it's not the account or the website.

Probably not my place to even speak so I beg your pardons, but it could be a minor SQL problem - since I read that you've had difficulty with such things in the past, - in which case it actually could be the server. Ultimately, though, the only advice I can currently contribute is to try from a completely different computer and connection if possible. Otherwise, try restarting your computer, logging in as the internal administrator account, running your browser as administrator (right click and properties) and clearing your cookies/cache. If it doesn't work then, it's obviously something net-side.

While on the subject could someone enlighten me as to how to use the sub account feature. I attempted before and failed.
@[member="Hawke Katamirth"]
Just click on your picture or name on the top-right of the forum. Click My Profile (goes straight there if you clicked from your picture thumbnail). There should now be a button titled Characters next to another button titled Edit Profile or something of the like. Click the Characters one, then click Add Sub-account, type in the alt's name and boom, you've got your sub-account. You can switch between all linked accounts by going back to the top-right and clicking the dropdown menu, where a list of your sub-accounts will be.

An intuitive guess, but I nor any other system administrator would make a jump to the SQL unless the problem were reported by more than one person. So far, it's isolated to just @[member="Pinky"], and as I've stated I was able to log into the Pinky writer account and change around to different characters. Flushing your DNS could resolve the situation, as I've seen issues like this be caught by IP.Board's security protocols due to having multiple accounts on the same IP address. But I can't make a more educated guess without more information.
 
I have done so a second time, and been successful. Again, I do not know what the issue is in the slightest.

I thought I might as well try that, and it didnt work, I also thought it may have been my computer itself. so I shut it off and truned it back on. Still didnt work.
I'll need you to tell what *what* didn't work. I can do very little with "it doesn't work." What error are you receiving, is the dropdown for your characters appearing when you log in as the writer account, etc. Screenshots help.

I have gotten it to work it was just my internet being stupid. I checked my IP address and it said that I was somewhere in Africa I think? some other place than Indiana so I shut off my internet turned off my computer and then turned it all back on and it worked. @[member="Tefka"]

In any event now's probably a good time to tell you ( @[member="Tefka"] ) that I was encountering a consistent five-to-eight minute streak of SQL database errors less than 48 hours ago, if I recall correctly. I think I commented to one of the admins online at the time concerning it. I'm not saying they're related; just that it might be a potential issue with the SQL in general. Perhaps due to the quantity of info constantly building up and changing.
Don't know. Never really delved into that side of development much.

Depends. Did you happen to know at what time of the day it happened? This is important. I'm in the Eastern Time Zone, btw.

Yeah, my bad, it was around four AM EDT this morning. (I usually go to sleep late or in the morning due to my schedule so it felt like yesterday, lol). He said it was probably a backing-up and that he notified you about it.
 
Yep. I've been trying to fix that, as the FTP protocols on the server seem to kill the website for 5-10 minutes at 4 AM EST every day when our automatic back up begins.

Tbh, it doesn't really bother me any because I'm always asleep then. But still, annoying.
