Care to back the truck up some, Doug?

As in, provide some more information as to what exactly is or is not, occurring.

The header of your discussion thread here: "Images"

/\ Don't know how this relates, quite frankly ... as I am not sure what you are referring to, in the first place.


"loose my login and password??"

There is an option to reset your password, if that is what has transpired. Reply back here, to this thread ... and some instructions to follow can be suggested.

And on the above note, with respect to your newly created account "Vangough51" ... it would appear that your email has changed compared to the one published on the profile page of your old account/username; namely that of "vangoughs".

/\ Is that correct?


Here is Doug's old account/username ... vangoughs.

/\ In case it is needed to look into server logs, et al.

Apologies and patience, Doug ... need to break this down some more.

"I got logged in but not as my old account.Just don't understand why my username and password dissappeared."

As I noticed that you successfully uploaded two images last night, it would appear that you were able to login just prior to the creation of this thread (I think). So ...

Something happened after the fact.

Just what that is ... not sure.


"Now when I log in
my browser doesn't ask to remember my password and username?"

Which browser are you using, Doug?

And are you employing some sort of automatic settings/browser feature/option to recall/store/fillout your login information?


/\ That stuff said/asked ... I've posted an enquiry on your behalf on the Aediles/Senate discussion forums.

Hang in there, we'll get you sorted out. :o)

You'll need to try to login to your old account. If you give the wrong password, you will get a link that will allow you to reset the password. It does this by sending an email to your email account that is listed on the old account. Following the instructions in the email will reset the password and give you access to the old account.

Edit: What is to follow was written in the interim of *caedes' response above.


"And on the above note, with respect to your newly created account "Vangough51" ... it would appear that your email has changed compared to the one published on the profile page of your old account/username; namely that of "vangoughs"."

/\ Is that correct?


/\ The reason I ask this once more, if it is the case that you no longer use the original email information that was used/inputted to setup your 'old' account ... that of "vangoughs" ... might be problematic for the resetting of your password. (Still referring to getting you back to your 'old' account here.)

"As a dummy I could not remember my
password so had to reset everything."

By 'reset everything' ... are you referring to the creation of your 'new' account of "Vangough51"?

As opposed to having tried the reset password option? (Which relates back to the question as to what email address is current for you now.)


And again, no worries, Doug ... this will get sorted out as best we can. Hang in there.

'Tis a Sunday, unfortunately, and bodies are somewhat scarce. Nothing, as of this writing here ... has been posted on the Aediles/Senate discussion thread created with respect to your queries here.

If anyone inadvertently inputs an incorrect password for their account ... or forgets ... a screen will show up ... stating 'bad uername or incorrect password'.

And just beside that is a link that you can click on, that of 'reset password'.

Clicking on the link, shows a screen with this message:

"An email has been sent to the registered email address for vangoughs to verify your identity. Please follow the email's instructions to reset your password."

As I have not myself done this, I am guessing that by prompting the server to reset your password ... you must come up with a new one, not revert back to the old password.

Take a breath, Doug ... and try the reset option once more, following the instructions that are sent to you by email.

However ...

DO NOT flood the server with repeated reset requests.

Typically, this is NOT a good good idea. As it is simply a security precaution to avoid bots, and ne'er do wells ... at successive attempts to 'crack' your username and respective password.

Perhaps wait a few minutes, then try once more. As a suggestion. :o)
