Guest ioflaze2 Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 I deleted my account to change my server to Tommy (maybe Ricky if it's not available) and I would like to know if I could reuse my old username. I deleted my account but I did not re-sign up yet. Is my old username going to be available when I re-sign up? If not, can you somehow fix it? Any help is appreciated. Quote
wolstech Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 It will not since there's likely a forum account by the same name. I have to rename the forum account if you want to reuse it. What's the old username? Quote

Byron Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Ok your forum name has been changed. Post back after your account is created and we can change it back. Quote
Guest ioflaze2 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 That's weird. ioflaze is not available so I chose ioflaze1 instead. The domain ioflaze is available though. Can you fix it? Yes, I have signed up and changed to Ricky now. Also, just to clarify, is Tommy available for sign up when the sign up resets or no? Quote
Krydos Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 It looks like Byron only changed your display name, and not your login name. Both have to be changed to reuse a username. The only way to change a hosting account username is by deleting and recreating it. Do you want to do this or are you fine with ioflaze1? Quote
Byron Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Sorry about that. It's been so long since I've had to change a forum name i couldn't remember if I had to change both and was worried he wouldn't be able to login if I changed the login username. Quote
Krydos Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 The forum sends out an email explaining that you need to type the new username to login. Quote

Guest ioflaze2 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Well, there goes my account again. It is now in queue for deletion. Can try you fix the problem now? Quote
Krydos Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 is Tommy available for sign up when the sign up resets or no?Tommy is currently donor only because he ran out of hard drive space for new accounts. Once we get our new hardware installed we'll be able to open free signups again. Quote
Krydos Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 I've changed your forum username so that ioflaze is available for a hosting account again. Quote
Guest ioflaze2 Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 Never mind, I've changed my mind. Just delete this forum account. Sorry for all of the trouble. Quote
