Spark, it's been awhile since I was online and I'm having problems with my membership/logging on. Could you check on it for me? My old username was KBR. Thanks.
 
What's the problem? If you've forgotten your password but you can still access your old email account you can click the "forgot password" button.
 
Hiya Cougar....

Actually, I can login, but I can't access my control panel. I get a message box telling me that I'm not authorized to access that page.
 
What do you mean you can't access it? You click on User CP at the top left and it won't let you in, but you can post messages?
 
Actually, Spark, I had to reregister because I couldn't go anywhere once I logged in under my old username KBR. Once logged in as KBR, the "you do not have permission to access this page" window pops up. I can't get to the user control panel or anything except log out.
 
AHA! I just looked and KBR is currently in the user category "users awaiting email confirmation." You must have changed your password here or something.... An email was sent to your listed address mrochatx@yahoo.com and you have to follow the directions in that email to reactivate the account.
 
Just checked that email addy and didn't find anything that was sent. Could you guys send it again?
 
Click the "lost password" button -- then the system will send you a new password. You can change it again later, even back to the same one if you want. Um ... there isn't any chance that a spam filter somewhere is zapping all messages from bladeforums.com is there? I don't know what yahoo is doing about filtering. You might have a look at the messages yahoo filtered out.
 
No, it doesn't work that way. See, you don't want anyone who gets access to a computer you're using for a minute while you go to the bathroom to be able to change your password and at the same time change your email address, do you? So the system mails a confirmation request to your email address, the one you gave when you opened the account. You can change that address but only if you know your password, or you can get a new password but only if you can use your email account.

If you can't access that account any more the only way out is to call Spark at 1SKS during business hours. Is there any way you can convince him you're you?
 
Thanks, Cougar, but I think that that sounds like too much hassle. I'll just continue on with this new username. Thanks for your help, though.
