Linking game to forum accounts

Hello,

as of today, you can link your game account with your forum account.
In order to do that, please visit the settings page on the UCP: http://sa-mp.im/account/settings/

This addition only brings advantages, e.g. checking which player account belongs to which forum account for administrators / players. Please note that once you have bound a game account to a forum account, it may never be unlinked again. You may only link 1 forum account to your game account, but you may link e.g. 5 game accounts to 1 forum account.

As of now, this also introduces the change that premium members will automatically be added to the donator group if their premium ingame is still active. The entire group has been wiped and all members removed from it. Link your forum account to your game account. If you're still a premium member, you will be added to the forum group automatically. You will get removed from the group if your premium expired, it is no longer permanent. It also is not your default displayed group, you have to do this manually in the forum control panel. (There may be a delay of up to 10 minutes until you're added)

We might introduce the same system for factions and corresponding forum groups, helpers and even admins. I first want to see how this works out and possibly expand it.

More to come soon...

Pretty cool, but what if a player gets a free premium package from the reward system.....

Nice addition indeed. :)
One question, if a player changes their IG name, is the player required to link the new name to their forum account or is the previous name automatically updated to the new one?

@Bastard: It should be automatically changed.

At the moment, it's not available. (If it is, I don't know how.)

If it's not, then what is the whole point of this update?
