Hi, i would like to know if there is a way to connect my forum account to my COW account, it wouldnt let me originally,so i had to make a new one, but if i could link my accounts, it would help identify me based on my COW account, and would be less annoying, having to remember multiple logins for the same thing.
If this isnt possible, then im ok with that, but if it is, could i have help in doing so, it would make my life much easier. THX

But there isn't a point in linking it. Your rank will be different anyway

Unfortunately it is not possible right now. Although you can use the same account to play any Bytro game, this is not the case for the games forums. These use a completly seperate database and are not connected to game accounts. I agree it would be much more convenient to have that, though.

But would there be a benefit?

It wouldn't be some big, game changing thing, but it would make accessing the forum easier, and accurately display my stats on my forum profile according to my actual COW account

I don't see why the ranks would be different if they were the same profile, unless my forum rank was based on forum activity this entire time, wait... is it?

No, it is different because the forum rank is different. It is according to the COW ranks and not the American WWII ranks. The more you post or more likes you received, the higher points and the higher rank.

indeed forum rank is based on posts and likes.
As the forum is a separate system, the common thing is to use the same name and possibly the same password (or not) so that people know who you are.
An alternative is to put something in your signature regarding your game account name / rank and other info.
