hoz 0 Posted October 5, 2008 We have a bit of a problem folks. OFPEC has been around for a while, and has gone by different guises over the years. For a short time it seems our forum system permitted members to have one name for logging into the site, and use a different name for display on the forum. In the past whenever problems occurred due to this we'd eventually manage to find a way around them, but tackling the symptoms over and over have not dealt with the underlying dilemma, which persists. OFPEC is about to undergo some pretty major changes, and we'd like to remedy this issue now before we go any further. We have 139 members whose login name and username don't match. What we propose is that we convert the login name to be the same as that used in the forum. We're giving the members concerned the opportunity to get in touch and let us know if there is an alternative name they would like used (their login name for example). The main thing is that both names will be the same - we're not really concerned what that name ends up being, so long as it's not already in use. If we don't hear from the members below within 2 weeks, we'll assume you're fine with the changeover. Emails will be sent to the relevant members to confirm the change of details.

mattxr 9 Posted October 18, 2008 Ive always had problems when loosing my password at OPEC and have been unable to obtain it back which then led me to try and PM a mod but all the time was unable to do so because i had to be logged in.. so in the end i gave up.. i had 2 usernames under 2 emails because of the problem and i wasnt prepared to break the rules further and make a 3rd one. It never used to send a conformation email or anything and when it did it wouldnt work the link so i couldnt change the passwords, or even find my old username. I think this needs to be looked at too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
