View as player x... Option.

One of the slightly more frustrating aspects of running a game is that sometimes you don't add a player to the right group or you put a post in the wrong group.

I think it would be useful to have a view as... link that would show you what your game would look like through the eyes of another player. You could then check to see if certain players really are restricted to what you want them to restrict them to (I could work like facebook's view as... function).

There is a filter link on the main screen for each game that lets you filter by group.

That's not quite the same as viewing things as a player and seeing all the threads, private lines, sheets, etc as they see them.

I suggested something quite similar a while ago and it got a nice amount of support. This feature would let the GM see if they made all the private lines correctly as well.

I have been wanting something like that myself lately - a game I'm running has a lot of PMs in game threads, sometimes to multiple players, and that would be a very useful option to have.
