returning to old name

Anthro Incarnate · 02-10-2002, 11:38 AM

I want to go back to being Anthro Mädchen, but it won't let me. It keeps saying I can't use a name already registered/reserved to someone else. But *I'm* that someone else...how do I get my old name back?

Gretchen · 02-11-2002, 10:22 AM

Are you trying to re-register using that name?

Anthro Incarnate · 02-11-2002, 03:51 PM

No--I'm going to my profile and changing the displayed name.

Gretchen · 02-13-2002, 01:08 AM

Hm. I thought that'd how it was supposed to work. Lemme check.

Thanks [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Anthro Incarnate · 02-13-2002, 04:43 PM

Well, heck. I can' t get it to work, either. How stupid. I'm not sure what to do. I'll see if I can come up with something.

How did that post happen? I didn't post anything like that anywhere on this board....

Anthro...

I'll bet it was Gretchen "speaking" there!

She probably logged in under your handle, decided to reply to you, but did so forgetting to log off as you, and log back in as herself.

That's my best guess, at least... [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Sisa, you're a genius. I was trying to fix Anthro's login, and forgot to log back in as myself! Duh! Sorry for the confusion!

At any rate, Anthro appears to be Anthro Madchen again! Minus the umlaut; not sure why that vanished.

Anthro Incarnate · 03-01-2002, 04:28 PM

Has that bug been fixed? I want to play word-of-the-day Anthro again, but I'm hesitant to leave Madchen for fears of not being able to return.

Gretchen · 03-05-2002, 12:05 PM

Nope. And I have to say it's not at the top of my priority list. I'm sorry!

I can't go back to my nickname either. [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img]

I feel for you Anthro (mostly because I feel bummed for me, too.)

Gretchen, if this starts affecting more members maybe it could move slightly up on your priority list?

Gretchen · 03-25-2002, 11:15 PM

Sorry, Loopy. I'll check into it!
