registration to forum under 'new' FI handle email conflict

Post by Beowolff » Tue Mar 01, 2005 2:03 am

well, Falcon says to first log into Admin, which i did with no problem... then he says to re-register in the forums (i'm guessing with my new FI handle) which i tried.

no luck trying to register in the forums using my email addy... for it keeps saying that THAT email is already being used by another member (which i suppose it is under the old Beowolff name.) the cad! :x

a quandry it is.

well, i only have the one email addy and so have no other to give the infernal software proggy. i even tried going into the old Beowolff handle preference box and just changing my name there (since i sort of hate starting out posting at ZERO again anyway) to :FI:Beowolff... but it didn't like that either and wouldn't retain the FI prefix that way.

hmmmm...

should i delete the old beowolff's email addy out or what else to try?

thanks fine gentlemen for your consideration on the perplexing problem I'm having.

Is there not a way to simply change the name of your current account on the boards?

Thereby keeping your postcount, profile, etc...

Just a thought...

praise be, saints almighty!

by thine great power thou has't restored me!

thankee, great and good sir!

in squeaky, repentant voice:

(by the way, did you really see me pee-pee on me grand-mum's prize flower beds those 215 odd times... until it actually killed the lovely plants? i was only six... and that was soooo long ago. does it still count, since i was ONLY six and all? i mean, was it like a GREAT sin and could it get me cast down and all? or was it just a little thing... you know, kid stuff and won't really count? oh... and what about Susan and Jenny...the two twin sisters that i was---you know---sort of foolin' around with a bit in high school? you know, sort of experimentin' with...in a well ah, sort of 'sexual' slash doctor-ish sort of way? will that count against me too? or was that also just sort of kid stuff and cause i didn't realize the consequences of my actions, just sort of be, okay? I could go on. oh, you know that already, eh? sorry. forgot.)

thanks for the help! really appreciated!

:D
