Changed profile

[Miggimeggi]

Does anyone know why I seem to have two profiles, both with the same name but with different dates of joining, different number of posts and different avatars?  I did see about a couple of weeks (or so) ago that my avatar had gone so I put one on but I had not noticed that everything else had changed.   I see that at least one other member has also lost her posts and her joining date has changed.

It sounds like you have two logins with two different email addresses?

Hi, Admin and thanks for the super rapid response.

Yes,  I have done a bit of checking and I am sure you are right.   I do have two email addresses however I cannot login on the AOL one, which is the original login.  I lost the automatic login on the AOL address when I used C Cleaner a bit carelessly and cleared the cookies.  When I came back, the system asked for the email address used when I joined.  The password I used was wrong so said I had forgotten it and waited for the email of the new password.  It never came so I tried the other address.  It sent the password to that address, so OK - however, avatar was gone and posts also mostly gone, I must have opened an account on that one long ago and forgotten about it.  So, the system won't let me login on the  AOL email address and  by saying I have forgotten the password on that address, the system has, presumably, changed that password, however it says it will send an email to change the password but the email doesn't arrive.  It being  AOL,  I checked the spam box but it is not there either.  I know that the system knows the address because I tried to change the email address on the current, non-preferred login to the AOL one but the system says that I can't change to that address because it is used by another member (actually also me). 

I hope that you can make something of this screed, I know that this is my own silly fault but is there a way for me to get back the original Miggimeggi on the AOL email address?

By the way, I thought that the system would reject a Nickname identical to one already registered.

Well, I see now that I should have checked the "sticky"  entitled, Important Notice for AOL Users before signing up on the forum.  Silly me!!!  Unfortunately, the sticky appeared several months after I had joined.  When I saw it, I added the required email address to my listings but obviously too late.  Sorry if I put anyone to unnecessary trouble and the problem is not important.  I will be very, very careful in future, if I have questions to ask to be sure first of all to do all the proper searches, etc.

I can sort this for you so that you login with the AOL address (ie give you a new password) but you might be better off with the other address as the AOL address won't receive the email notifications or emails from the forum?

Hi Admin,

Can you fix it so that I can have back my old AOL registration and after I fix the password and get into my settings, I can then change the AOL email to google or yahoo or something?  That would be very nice.

Have emailed you.

Thanks very much James for all your trouble.  I really hadn't meant to create all that work. I didn't get the email, where did you send it - AOL?[:)]  The email address was changed to AOL thank you and I have properly changed that now to another one which will, hopefully receive mail from Complete France.  I didn't get my posts back and the other account is still hanging around, but it took me a couple of weeks to notice that the posts were missing so they can't have been that important can they.

Have a lovely day (tomorrow if it is too late for today)

Have re-sent you an email to another address. You should be able to use your original login now instead of the one you are currently using.
