DebitCredit Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I stay signed on pretty much all the time on my home PC. ... think I've been signed on for all the years I've been a member! ( I know, security and all that, but it's my PC at home and I wouldn't care if DH saw it.) After not signing for a couple of days, I was prompted to sign on tonight and noticed there was a different look to the board. Found that I'd forgotten my password. Quickly received am email to reset password but it was addressed to user "DebitCredit" . IIRC the email address I used to set up my account was different from my normal email, which identifies my entire name.Just to be sure, I did try another log-in with my real CB name (flamelesscandle) using my "normal" email but "no account associated with that email address" per the message that returned. SO -- I logged on using the "Debit Credit" user name and the new password and loo and behold found an account with no content, created in 2011. Definitely could have been me (my background is accounting) but I've been flamelesscandle since I've been a member. Have no idea how I ended up with two accounts, seemingly with the same email address. Shouldn't be possible. Did NOT do it for nefarious reasons! HELP Everyone knows me by flamelesscandle, my blog posts and prior posts are all under that user name; there's a fair amount of history from the past four years. P.S. I didn't to clog up this thread but did not see the email address for an admin/mod at the bottom of the page; just crazyboards.org. THANKS IN ADVANCE! You can pm me here if you need more info.

olga Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 FC, send a private message Velvet Elvis, or WinterRosie, or Wooster, or Sylvan....I'm trying to remember who all the admins are. They are the ones who can help you with this issue, and a private message will reach them more quickly than a topic on the boards.olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) I'm going to do something unorthodox and send you a reminder on the email you originally used, if you are you and you still have access to that email you should be able to login using this reminder. If you don't have access to that email account then it's hard to actually establish who you really are, it makes it hard at times Edit: check *all* of your emails, perhaps one attached to a personal website or something like that - not entirely sure.

DebitCredit Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 (1) Thanks Olga - I sent a PM to WinterRosie. Also sent one (yesterday) to the "contact us" below at crazyboards.org(2) To Not me .... I did check *ALL* my emails looking for your reminder,..(I have exactly TWO now and they are both gmail accounts). I did not get your reminder. There is an email address that I used to have attached to my personal website. Unfortunately I no longer have access to that email address or to that website. I didn't keep up the domain. Since it had my full name in the address and was associated with a business; I'd be surprised if I had used that one to register back then anyway. When I couldn't remember my flamelesscandle password yesterday, I did the reset password thing using the second of my two gmails. That is what returned the "DebitCredit" account which has no content. I have no idea how I ended up with two accounts. Is there ANYTHING else I can do? Weren't there security questions I could answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that's the email you used to register, one of the admins will have to talk with you and fix it as it's out of the scope of what I can do.

I know the exact email address you're referring to - unfortunately, I don't have any access to that one at all.I did send a message to WinterRosie but haven't heard back.

WinterRosie Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I PM'd you. I've been busy between work and therapy. In the future if you (or anyone reading this) wants a fast response from the admins try PM'ing all of us - myself, VE, Wooster, and sylvan. That way you're not dependent on any one of us having a bad day at the time of your PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebitCredit Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Thanks Rosie. I wasn't sure about PM'ing all the Admins at once but I see why that would make sense. Will do next time. In the meantime, thanks for your help via PM. Read and responded.Flameless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooster Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Is this resolved yet? Please let us know here or on the PM thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamelessCandle Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Yes this is resolved - I think I noted it on the PM thread but now I'm not sure.Anyway - thanks to ALL the admins and mods for everything you do. It's great to be back in my "real" name! Edited to Add: "DUH!" I did thank the admins (including you Wooster) BUT in a new PM from FlamelessCandle once I could log in as "me". Of course, you wouldn't have seen it since I didn't include you in the conversation. Again, "DUH" and thanks.
