The original Kit Builder Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Hi all. I used to be Kit builder, but I hadn't been about for various reasons and missed out on the whole change of the system. Anyway, thanks for having me back.

Greg B Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Mmm, we don’t do multiple accounts on here. Any reason why you didn’t use the original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The original Kit Builder Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 i wasn't about when the big change happened, so missed it. When I tried to use my old log in, it wouldn't work, obviously, because of the new requirement for an email address. Because I hadn't by then registered one, I couldn't get in to do so and entering it in the log in box was therefore futile. When I tried to set up a new account using the new requirements, the system wouldn't let me have my username because "This username is already in use", to paraphrase. Creating a whole new account, with a new name was, therefore the only way I could see to reconnect. If there is an alternative, or something else, I'm only too happy to take advice. Because I couldn't log in, I couldn't seek advice from the admins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your first new build here will need to be a Catch 22 B-25. Welcome back. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easiest way to have done this would have been to email BM beforehand so we could bypass the issue, or to create a new account and PM a mod with the issues.

The original Kit Builder Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 Cool. I hadn't thought of merging accounts. Would you be able to do that, please and what do I need to do before and afterward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
