bigfree1 to BigFree Support Apolyton

I thought that I should post here to let everyone know what is going one with my post's.

I had registered back in 1999 with the nick of "BigFree." I moved and changed ISP's. When I came to Poly to sign on, I had forgotten my password and no longer had access to the e-mail address that I had signed up with, so I couldn't get it e-mailed to me. I became a 'lurker' for quite a bit, until I couldn't stand it anymore and I registered under the nick "bigfree1" since "BigFree" was already taken ( by me )!

I asked Dan Q if I could change my nick to "BigFree" without 'losing' anything, like ISDG forum access, post counts, personal settings, blah blah blah. He said sure. But it didn't work out that way. All of my PM's were deleted, buddy list wiped out, subscribed threads gone, locked out of ISDG (until BH came to the rescue, thanks BH! ). So that's where it sits now. I must go on from here, there's no going back. If anyone else wants want to change their nick they'd better consider the consequences. Maybe my situation was different because I had, in effect, two accounts. I hope no one else would lose stuff like I did.

I think he deleted the bf1 account, and changed the password to the original account.

Registered, Oct 1999.

That's what it looks like.

Also, name changes do not usually result in the posts going to 'ignored' status, with the title showing as 'guest' and the registered showing as 'not yet'.

Increase the size of your Attachments

notyoueither is correct- the only problems was that he gave you your old account... thus you probalby lost your post count as well

because namechanging doesn't make your old posts "guest" posts.

oh well

BigFree - too bad about the post count thing. But at the rate you post it won't matter much in the big scheme of things.

And regarding re-admittance to the ISDG, no problem. you too.
