You are welcome.

Also, we are considering a new paid membership class, a VIP usergroup, where we will make these special types of admin changes for regular members; however, we have not implemented that feature yet.

Thank you for your patience.

If you become a member of the new VIP group, when implemented, we can merge your two accounts, for example.

If you created a userID and you now do not like it, create another one Smilie

Hi Neo, new member here. I just registered and realized I mis-typed my user name and while looking for some info on changing it I found this thread. I took your suggestion and tried creating a new ID with the name I really wanted but the registration page complains that my email address already exists. I'd like to use the same email address so I was wondering if there's a way around that?


Thanks!

Dave O.

Have you tried:

Login to account you dont want, change the email address.

Login to New account you want, set the email to the one you want.
