can't sign in

Scotty, Bob, Jim or Dan -

Please help me! I need one of you to go into my profile and reset my password because I am not able to log in. After you do that, I would appreciate it if you emailed me at the email address in my profile.

Thanks,

Elan

btw my s/n is erw38 (in case you don't know)

Gents, it appears Elans profile has been deleted? Can you please verify my findings. I can't seem to find the profile and any hint in the member list.

[austinator]

I just searched for posts made by him and they all show up as "guest", so it must be gone.

[JimW]

It appears so, the only thing I can guess is that his profile was deleted (by whom, I dunno).

Elan, since it appears to be gone, re-register, and I'll do my best to reinstate your credentials. Not sure how your profile managed to go kaput.

Once he re-registers with the same username, I think everything will return (post count, etc). If not it's easily restored in the Admin panel. Why it's gone in the first place is a whole 'nother issue.

[erw38]

Thanks Jim. You're my ACNA hero.

[Aurora40]

What the heck happened? Did you do anything to your profile that might have had you accidentally delete your account?

[Marc]

Could someone somehow have gotten erw38's password & then deleted his profile?

[JimW]

Unlikely. Only admins can do that without a password.

Accidently self inflicted? ;D

May not be as difficult as it seems... although the "Delete Account" button is kinda off by itself (bottom right) in any person's profile, I don't think there's an "are you sure?" warning. One click accidentally or otherwise, and we have this situation. It's easy enough to restore, but just something to be aware of.

[erw38]

Anything is possible and there is a chance that I did delete my profile, but I honestly don't remember pressing the delete button. It was reversed so everything is good now. No harm, no foul.

Thanks all!
