I have zero imagination ( I swear my kids each stole a part when they were born) and when I tried to register on an X-Men site a million years ago (my first love a long time ago) they wanted at least four letters. I’d just used my initials up until then so I just kinda spelled them out, BeeJ , and Beej was born.

I had an account on this website with a different nick, but for some reason, no matter HOW HARD I tried to get help getting logged back in (with a new password) I couldn't get anybody to reply back to me!

It's always the password that gets ya, isn't it?

So, anyway, it was easier to create a whole new account than to continue waiting for someone - anyone - to get back to me to change my password and give me permission to get back in again! Since this name is part of our phone number and is how we get people to remember the last 4 digits, I figured *I'd* remember it too! AND I use the same password that goes with this phone #, so I shouldn't forget it anymore.

I also joined with a different user name and password several years before I suddenly remembered I had signed up already. I started over again and now it's hard to get rid of me. I decided on daisy because I had daisies when I married [ it would be 46 years!] I was 60, almost 61 when I re-joined. :thumbup

That's odd? This board is state of the art. If you forget your password, a password reset is always sent to the user with the email that the user originally signed up with. IF your email changed and you forget your password, then you can't retrieve it ever.

Just curious as to where you were seeking help because nobody but me can help you and I didn't receive any requests for help. Were you trying to get help from an automated email?

What was your username as a quick search of your current email doesn't have any other users past or present with that email.

Thanks for inquiring, Jan.

I honestly don't remember WHEN it was, but I can give you the other info you are asking about.

I tried to login, was unable and then sent a notice to "admin" as it said. Never heard back from anyone. I tried this several times with no success. So, as I wrote, the only way to get back on the site was to get a whole new name and email.

I think the time frame would have been shortly before I registered this account....I don't know the exact date, but probably in January, February or March this year, shortly before I registered as SNZ3. I believe I had had that account for at least 3 years, but not logged in very frequently.

My screen name was Michele B and email was [email protected].

Good hunting!

Some very original names - mine is not so, just a spelling variation of my own name.

I was on an X Files board in the 90s using the same nick, so I just kept it the same; I was living in Oxford and I'm a girl!
