Hello All,
The new registration system has now been in place for several days and things seem to be returning to normal. In the first couple of days I heard from some users that had lost their connection to their previous user account. We have a fix for that. What I am asking is that if your new registration account is not connected with your old that you reply to this post and say: connect me. When I say connected to your old what I mean is does it have your user history? Number of posts read unread messages etc. So let me know so that we can fix it. -Mark

Hello Mark ,
I'm sure it's been a rough ride for you all during this transition . My concern was to try and keep my former screen name of dusty but last Wednesday the 10th of August as soon as the new registration came on line I was told my screen name was already used , I wondered if it was me they spoke of ? Now as notDusty when I tried to make a change to my screen name it told me that my e mail already exists . Can I change my screen name and retain my history ?
thanks for your help on this
still wanna be dusty
With this version of the reg system screen name is not something that can be changed. I am working on getting this into the next release but I cannot say when that will be. I did look up the dusty screen name and it appears that someone beat you to it, not that it was in use by you. If you have any further questions on this please let me know. -Mark

Mark, please connect me to Mookaroid/Philip Marcou
Thanks
All of the above users have been added to the restore history list. This will take a day or so to restore. I will post here when that process is complete. It requires some work by Prospero so that is why it takes some time.
If the issue is screen name, unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about that at this time. In the future we are planning on giving users the option to change screen names but at this point that is not an option.
If the issue is "remember me at login" please be sure that you have cookies enabled. If that still is not working then please email me and provide as many specifics about your system as possible. Browser mac PC OS etc. Thanks, -MarkSYSOP[email protected]Have you updated your forum profile lately? Please Do!
I seem to have lost my access to the Cafe. Could you possibly let me back in please. Thanks.

Could you please give me back my access to the Cafe and the Tavern in Breaktime. Thanks
There's still a Cafe? I just assumed it had been closed since I no longer saw it on the list...
I sent an email about this problem and just checked. Under advanced search, it only shows a history of messages back to the change. By this, I mean, if I do an advanced search and select any msgs from me to anyone, I don't get any prior to the change. So please "connect me". Thanks and by the way, I like not having to long in every time now.

Connect me, please.
I couldn't get my old user name to work so I just created a new profile. My old posting name was the same, if that helps.
Please fix me. Formerly ThreePutt, now ThreePuttJoe.
Thank you.
Joe,
In your case it appears that you registered with a different email address than what was associated with your old account. So the best thing to do is to register a new acount using the other email address and your history will be connected up just fine. If you dopn't know what the other account is let me know and I will email it to you. -MarkSYSOP[email protected]Have you updated your forum profile lately? Please Do!
Actually, I had changed my email and thought I had updated it some time ago as well. When I tried to reregister, the system told me I was putting in an invalid email. My old email is no longer valid. What should I do now?
Mark, I am posting this,as it is possible that others may have had the same experience: I went back to posts 24796-13,15 and 19-when I tried to open the pics a message came up saying "re-direction limit for this url exceeded" etc. What does this mean? they were viewable, but not now.What is "url" ? Sorry, but I am not computer literate.Philip Marcou
Philip, those pictures opened up fine for me just now. I have no idea what the error message means, though I could guess, but FYI, URL is the term for the internet address for a page. The string you see in your browser's address bar, such as:
http://www.leevalley.com That is a URL.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)Another proud member of the "I Rocked With ToolDoc Club" .... :>)
Mark, are you still in the process of "re-connecting history"? I ask this because I see that only my joining date has been corrected- but no profile and total number of posts as yet. This must be a pia for you.
Log out then back in and see if that helps. When I look at your profile I see:
Member Since: Feb-4
Posts: 466
Are you still seeing something else? Please let me know. -Mark

Mark
it looks like I've managed to twin myself ! I seem to have at least two profiles
One shows me as a member since 9/19/2002 message 19458.1 was posted with this profile
the other profile has me as a member since 4/10/2003 message 25186.7 was posted with this profile
I seem to have posted most frequently with the profile dated 9/19/2002
can you permanently associate me with the profile from 9/19/2002 and link me to the Cafe and the Tavern
thanks
ian
Ian,
Are you logging in with 2 different email addresses? That is the only way for a user to have different accounts. I will investigate this some more and see what I can determine. -MarkSYSOPGot a question about the forums? email me at:[email protected]

CharlesM,
You are now added to the list. The database changes most likely won't happen until tomorrow though.

Mark, my history seems to have disappeared. I used a a faked up email address in my last incarnation as Sgian Dubh, but I was registered as Sgian_Dubh. Maybe that will help trace my old registration, which goes back several years.
Now I've taken the handle SgianDubh, with no spaces as you see, and I use a real email address.
I'd also appreciate access to The Cafe again as it's no longer visible to me.
Thanks in advance for 'fixing' all the missing bits you can fix. Slainte.

Mine is not connected. I refilled out all my old info but my messages didn't transfer over. At least, not that I can tell.

Hi,
Looks like I've also lost my user history (edit) or there's two of us! I'm the ian who posted message 19458.1
Also can you reconnect me to the Cafe and the Tavern?
thanks

Please connect me. I too am wondering if my old screen name "Kyle" was taken by someone else, or still with me on another email address. Just like some other members, I had to come up with a new name.
Thanks
Kyle
lost their connection to their previous user account. We have a fix for that..
Great BUT I think some folks a bit 'ticked' abput loosing their old names! Hope you can fix it for them..
