Thanks to the terrible overhaul on the forums, my account is no longer logging in with the account that I've been posting with for the past 5 yrs. Can any admin help me get the two linked or transferred together?
Thanks for trying to help me out, but I've got two problems:
1: I received email notifications, but when I login I don't see any PMs. I don't know if that's something I have to fix on my end..
2: When I try to change my user ID back to what it was, it says the user ID is already taken. Is there any way to free that up?
interesting...
oglu is my account on the main area site...
if i go there it says welcome oglu...
This should be fixed. Next time you login, you will appear as cg_oglu_1 or cg_oglu_2, but you will have your post history attached to that account.
Krueger_1, regarding PMs, you don't see any PMs, or you don't see the older ones (the ones prior to the migration?). legacy PMs where not migrated to the new system, but they are still available on AREA: http://area.autodesk.com/myprofile
Regarding your ID, there is another user who already has that ID, so we can't give you back that ID.
thanks... looks like im back...
If I click on private messages, then click to go to the new platform, it says you have no private messages. I can see my legacy messages though.
I got the PM you sent Steve, but didn't get the one Nicolas sent (even though I received the email for it). I guess it was a one time glitch or it was sorted out since. And seeing as there's a link that specifically says "Private Messages" that sticks out, it's kind of confusing that that is the old messages and not the new messages.
Saw that 🙂 it's a good idea, I will update the link as 'Legacy Private Messages'.
I've got similar woes: my original Area alias was "Hirazi Blue", which it still is when I comment on blogs here, but in the forum section my alias has changed to "Leendert68". I would like very much for you to change this back to "Hirazi Blue" again, without changing my Autodesk ID in the process.
Thanks in advance...
I double checked: if you change your User ID as Steve explained in his reply to you, it will change how you appear in the forums, but your Autodesk ID will remain as is.
