Title: Changing email addresses
Post by: Rufus1 on April 03, 2012, 08:55:28 PM: I changed my old email address in my profile to a new one, it said i would receive a varification email to my new address. I never got it after several attempts, now i can't log in or do anything. I had to make this new profile just to get back on here! How do i get my old profile back? Help

Post by: bearpaw on April 04, 2012, 05:51:14 PM: That username does not exist in our system, I doublechecked the ban list in case it was there, nothing. So I will try to change your Rufus1 to be Rufus and you can continue using whatever paasword you have now.

If you somehow get blocked out and can't get in, please email me: dale@bearpawoutfitters.com

Post by: JCKILLSHOT on April 04, 2012, 06:03:44 PM: That same thing just happened to me. I kept clicking send verification email and a different screen popped up and I typed in my old screen name and it popped up my profile. All I wanted to do was change my password.

Post by: Rufus on April 04, 2012, 06:25:35 PM: Yes it worked, Thank you.
Title: Re: Changing email addresses
Post by: jackelope on April 04, 2012, 07:10:48 PM: When you change an email address, your account needs to be reactivated by one of us. This is because if someone is banned, we use email addresses as ban triggers. A member can't go changing his email address without us reactivating the account. I couldn't find Rufus last night when I looked. Sorry I neglected to reply to this again then....glad it got sorted out.

Post by: bearpaw on April 04, 2012, 07:22:23 PM: I got busy with a long winded phone call, thanks for finding his old username bobcat, I put a ban on the new username since he got the original name back. :tup:
Title: Re: Changing email addresses
Post by: bobcat on April 04, 2012, 07:36:59 PM: It was challenging finding the old user name because with it being "un-activated" it didn't show up in the regular "members list."
