Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
Sully() Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Hey,I just logged in and was asked to enter a display name. It said Sully was taken, so I just put in () at the end. Now after posting, apparently I only just joined and its my first (now second) post.Have I missed something during my time of inactivity? I always had an account called Sully... with posts! :S
bfarber Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 You have to use your email address, not your name, to login.
Digi Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Most likely your email here didn't match your email in the client center. Since converge is enabled, you were able to create a new account based on your client center email address. You got the "user name in use" because the sully account is indeed still here and working.SullySully()
Sully() Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Nope, I only use the one email address.Ill re-try!
sully Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 And im back.Is registration simple or something, as I dont recall having to fill in much? I logged in from an error page btw. (I was following a link which apparently is a broken one, so I just logged in from there)
Digi Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 The only way converge will "break" and create a new account is if the email doesn't match the account you are trying for, but one exists within the converge database. Perhaps it has just been a long time since you updated that field? :PI logged in from an error page btw. (I was following a link which apparently is a broken one, so I just logged in from there)Perhaps a bug with error pages? :S
sully Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Strange. Here is what I did on that page;I entered a username (forgot it was email only) and password. It then said it was my first time here and to set a display name. Thats all I had to do, and I had an account!
Axel Wers Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 I had the same problems :DI entered my name, not e-mail :whistle:
Digi Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 sounds like there are still some integration quirks in converge :)
bfarber Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Yes, it's been confirmed if you enter in your username it "sees" you, and then asks you to enter a display name. I'll need to look into that a bit more.
RPG24 Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 This issue has been fixed.seems not so ... I wanna go on, using my Account Nyana - can you pls tell me how to use is ?? I don't wanna use this name I habe over 100 Posts...
bfarber Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 You need to login with your email address you used that is tied to the Nyana account. Contact management for assistance, as I can't tell you what that was.
