Email Address conflicts

With this new version of IPB comes a change in user registration.

 

I do not have all the details, but I believe the board is now setup to accept your username OR your email address to login. Obviously, this means that each email registered must be unique.

 

When moving the dB over, all duplicate email addresses were changed by inserting your memeber number in front of the address (this makes each address unique, but obviously breaks your email in certain accounts).

 

To fix this, you need to change one or more of your accounts to have different emails. I know that can be a royal pain for some people, but that is how it is until I can learn more about this new login system.

So people with multiple alias's need to have multiple emails for those alias's? Is that correct?

yes.

Which begs the question, why would anyone have more than one name active anyways?

Ask TennyBoy. It's for his multiple personality.

Looks like I'm one of those, probably because I registered before and forgot about it, the question is how to I delete my mystery handle?

I think I'm one of those people who have had a different alias before.

 

That username associated with that E-mail address I used to register has been spammed to a point where it is no longer salvageable. I stopped using it altogether.

 

How do I delete that old username?

do you remember your previous login that used that address? I can delete that if you don't use it.
