Petrescu Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Whats with that? Will we be able to change this to username? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Barrie Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 It's actually an option in your IPB 2.1 also. You can still choose to log in via email address OR username, fear not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millar Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Yes, it will make more sense to use with converge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Whats with that? Will we be able to change this to username?heh, especially confusing if you have like 20 email addresses you use to sign up at fora :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Cameron Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 It's actually an option in your IPB 2.1 also. You can still choose to log in via email address OR username, fear not.It wouldn't let me log in with my username. I don't read instructions so I was trying every username and password combination I've ever used and still couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.U. Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Yeah that hit me too. I don't like using the email address as they tend to be longer then a username. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyToledo Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 It wouldn't let me log in with my username. I don't read instructions so I was trying every username and password combination I've ever used and still couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work. :PIt is annoying. I didnt notice either. I was wondering what was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlesC Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I could not post for about 10 minutes even after figuring that out, I would be logged out even if I had tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon C Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Same here, this was quite confusing until I saw the words "E-mail Address" (which we all failed to look at until we were experiencing technical difficulties :P ). The problem is 99.9% of the time between the keyboard and the chair. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesC Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I know what would have gotten my attention, giant text that appears only once saying LOGIN WITH EMAIL! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I don't exactly know why they changed it to login with email address. They probably won't be using Converge here so why change it? May be they are going to use converge, only just for the staff... Link it up with Nexus and their CMS and they are in business... I dunno though.

Guest Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I'd imagine these forums will use Converge eventually, to tie in with their own nexus installation.

Brandon C Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 ( Customers using the same login for here, the customer center and IPSB would be sweet. )Heck yes it would be! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riven3d Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 considering my account here and at ipbs were created in my client center that wouldnt be a problem, just would of been nice to know we have to login with our email addy instead of username Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCWT Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 It'd be nice if they add an option to login with email or username on the login page. Handy when a member forgets their username. IPB should include a password hint to help with recovering usernames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I actually prefer logging in with e-mail, though I'm not likely to change the login method on my own board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elj Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Well I locked myself out of my account, it appears to have reverted to username now. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Cameron Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Now that it's back to username, I couldn't figure out why it was rejecting me when I had the info autofilled when it worked yesterday. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riven3d Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 and now they change it back to username, ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
