Username has changed since forum update

I’m forwarding all of this information to the developers as well, and as I posted on the other thread, I 100% understand and feel your concern.

If we need to shut down the site to fix it, I’m going to make sure that happens. Our community members need to feel safe when they’re participating here.

I’m sorry this happened to you, and I’m going to make sure it’s fixed.

May help to know that, under my settings, it tells me I am posting from my laptop, my Iphone and some “undetermined” iPhone, which could be that glitch in action.

If so, maybe that is one place the glitch is, when determining what ID posters are using?
If that is just adding to the confusion, sorry.

I also have an iPhone & I get the undetermined label when I’m using cell data & not wifi.
When using wifi it shows as my iPhone.

Not sure why it does that… I’m not that tech savvy lol

why are there now _ between words of usernames ^ ? was not the case before ?

Because this forum doesn’t seem to handle spaces or punctuation in user names.

Thank you

Did this get resolved? It looks to me like I still have a 1, but maybe it’s only visible to me?

Nope, I can clearly see it.
They must have missed you.
I am sure once @Moderator_1 sees it she will have them fix it for you.

Thanks, @trubandloki. Thankful for @Moderator_1, as always, and hoping they’ve got the day off, so I’ll be patient. :slight_smile:

Yes, I took the day away from the computer yesterday and am getting caught up now. I’ll let them know you still have multiple poster disorder!

Hi @Moderator_1 My username has a 1 at the end of it and is showing as a newbie. I am not. Can you help restore? I’m confused ha ha

That is a known problem and the ones running the site have been going thru files and correcting that.
They obviously are not down to the “P” quite yet.
Calling that to the attention of the Moderator is the best way to go, to get that cleared asap.

Will do! I have to go through the database manager, so it won’t be instantaneous. Sorry for the trouble!

Hi! This is an old thread but I’ve once again decided to jump back into the horsey world, which includes the COTH forums. I’m having the same issues - I was, with a lengthy post history, bits619 but cannot seem to get that username to appear when I log in. Just shows me as bits6191 with basically no post history.
Is it possible to recover my old username and post history? @Moderator_1
Thank you!

Hi there ~

It looks like you may have set up both accounts around the same time–maybe you had trouble logging in at some point, so you created an alternative account. I’ll PM you with a hint regarding the email address on the other account to see if jogs your memory.
