My son and are I are both recent subscribers, and have become fervent RHP users. We have only one PC (well only one with high speed internet), as a result we have to log in/out over and over if we are both actively playing.
I thought I was being clever by opening 2 Firefox windows, but it appears only one of us is in RHP at a time, even with the 2 windows. I realize this is probably done to prevent people from registering multiple accounts, but in our case it would be really useful to both be logged in.
Any clever way to do this?
Thanks!

If your son uses IE, and use Firefox for yourself, you will be OK.

I don't know whether it still works.

What about having tabs open in another firefox browser window? I also do my banking as 1 tab in a window of at least 10 tabs. I didn't realise it was dodgy.

Bit of a summary if you can't be bothered with the link:
Features built into browsers makes it possible for malicious websites to change the content of pop-up windows created by trusted websites (such as online banks). Users would have no inkling that potentially hostile content has been injected into a pop-up window. Exploits rely on misusing browser functionality rather than taking advantage of a software bug. Secunia has confirmed the vulnerability on fully patched versions of Internet Explorer 6.0 and Windows XP SP1 and SP2 (advisory here), Mozilla 1.7.3, Mozilla Firefox 1.0, Netscape 7.2, Apple's Safari 1.2.4, Opera 7.54, and KDE's Konqueror 3.2.2-6. Other versions of these browsers might also be affected. Secunia describes the vulnerabilities as "moderately critical". It advises users not to browse untrusted sites while browsing trusted sites.
