Anyway I made a new account so hey guys this is me. A few people are not able to get onto their old or main accounts for a couple different reasons. Did you try logging on under alexmoranz? For some reason you have to do it all lowercase, all one word with no non-alpha numeric symbols, like periods or underscores.

Took a peek and disabled the account. If you have any issues with posting under your proper account please email us at the sbg.moderation.staff@zoho.com and I'll turn it back on.

Added a few more ranks on the system which are based on post counts. Does not change the old ones but increased the number of ranks.

For some reason you have to do it all lowercase, all one word with no non-alpha numeric symbols, like periods or underscores. Have not been able to put a capital in the username so I;m guessing it's not possible ? - "Hi, I just deleted my old account of the same name a few mins ago in attempt to change it from lungorthin to Lungorthin with an uppercased L, but when I entered it, it automatically changed to lowercase. Is there a way to solve this? I noticed a lot of people registered here have been members for many years, and was wondering if their accounts carried over from the old forum. I too had an account on the old forum but mine did not carry over."

There seems to be two names for each account. One is the all lower case, one word versions that we log in with, and then there is the forum-displayed name, which can be different.

The two names is something I am waiting to hear back on from Forums.net on. It has something to do with the way accounts from probaords and the previous phpbb forum were merged. I am thinking it should be safe to delete the lower post count ones as these are obsolete but waiting on a definitive answer from them first.

One issue is that some of the higher count accounts are connected to emails that are no longer in use or otherwise accessible, and we can no longer change the email address for them. Aside from the few bugs that are being worked on the format is actually growing on me. Thanks for putting up the time, energy and money to keep us moving forward.

Ok, so I also seem to have two accounts now. The first, using my normal username, alanschiff, which I kept the same on both the old boards, logs me into my old account from before the last move, aka my proboards account from October 2010. I checked the member list and saw that I also have an account under username alanschiff1, which logs me into my newer account on the phpbb board. For anyone having trouble getting into their newer account, see if there is a "member" with your username followed by a 1. It seems a shame if we have to delete the older accounts and keep our phpbb post count instead of merging them, but I totally understand it may just be easier to do that. I would like to be able to log in using just my username and not the new +1 username, though. Also, while my older account shows me as a "man at arms," my newer account just shows me as "registered." BTW, a big thank you to all the moderators and other staff who have, and are still working on making this move, and the forum as a whole, flow as smoothly as possible.

I still have the liamboyle / liampboyle acount issue. Both should now be registered to the same email address and if not able to be merged the second can be deleted.

No Reviews ? I don't know whether or not it's me, but I don't see any new reviews posted - just the review index ? Could it be no-one's posted any new reviews since we swapped forums, or is this something that's still a work in progress ?

I'm using the sbg classic skin and there doesn't seem to be a way to go directly to the last post made in a particular thread from the main index. I'm not sure if it's the same with every skin.
