I need to log in, amongst other reasons to change back to my normal name as my email address is linked to this one with my RL name etc.

I can't log in and am definitely using the right email address and password. WHY?!?

Help somebody....I can't post (well not anonymously at least) and am getting the shakes as a consequence!

Oh poor you, are you still stuck?

theauthor · 25/07/2008 22:33

Yes! I don't know what's gone wrong! Maybe I've been banned for erm....no idea...!!!

And if I ask for a password reminder using the email address I am definitely registered under it says there is no-one registered under this name

Well your still here so you can't have been banned.
Have you contacted the MN bosses type people?

theauthor · 25/07/2008 22:37

Not yet - will do.
Really I was joking about being banned as I am very innocuous! The most trouble I get up to is being very slightly unreasonable on AIBU!

LOL!

We need a MN regular to help you out, why is no posting!
Maybe you should start a new thead with a really outrageous title!

theauthor · 25/07/2008 22:44

Indeed. Something really shocking like 'my ds loves Fruitshoots'.

Right go to my my MN first of all

hughjarssss · 25/07/2008 22:46

Yaaa! A regular, all will be well now theauthor

theauthor · 25/07/2008 22:46

Ok. I did that before and typed in my usual info and it just didn't recognise it....what next?

OP posts:
BoysAreLikeDogs · 25/07/2008 22:46

Oi oi, focus

BoysAreLikeDogs · 25/07/2008 22:47

OOOPS

now, think, what other email COULD you have used

BoysAreLikeDogs · 25/07/2008 22:48

Which email account do you get the MN weekly parenting doodah in?

theauthor · 25/07/2008 22:48

I wish it was that easy....I've tried both of the email addresses I have and both password combs and nowt. And to be honest I know which one it was registered under and the password and it's still not working.

This is really strange.

I tried that one. How on earth will I post all those dodgy things about S&M/ my drugs habit etc. if I can't be anonymous anymore .

OP posts:
theauthor · 25/07/2008 22:51

And the fact I killed the neighbour's dog, and have a shoplifting habit and......oh I've run out of ideas now.

OP posts:
BoysAreLikeDogs · 25/07/2008 22:51

Oh dear

The next thing I would try is to go to your OP, press the red ! button, and that takes you straight through to MN inbox.

Type a summary of what we have tried to do here, and hopefully BigTech will trot along to help.

Sorry I couldn't help you more.

hughjarssss · 25/07/2008 22:54

Did you want to go back to your old name? If not you could register again with the email address that wasn't already registered and pick a new name

theauthor · 25/07/2008 22:54

Thanks for trying though. 'tis very annoying but I'm sure techy support people will have an answer.

Now don't forget to forget everything i've just said about all my secrets.....shhhh.

Ok I admit the neighbour's dog bit was made up but not the rest!! Honest!
