Trying to recover my old account from 2010. Please help!
Posted: April 22nd, 2022, 5:02 pm
Hi Winston and others. Original member 'Free' from 2010 here. I am posting with a new account. I can't log into my original one.
My older account: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=5812
Is my account still active? I can see my profile page ok.
It's been a while since visiting the forum but I can't log in.
Is my account of username "Free" still active? I used to be a mod too. I registered in 2010 and have 106 posts.
I'm quite sure I have the correct pass still. I no longer have my old email account as they made a big change, trashed my account and no longer accept signups, so I can't do a recovery pass step or signup again.
I have a way to prove it's me in case you want to ask. It's a detail when Winston and I first interacted in private in 2010 that no one else would know. I can also give you my email account and the pass I'm using.
When I attempt to re-register at HA it says that the username is taken. Either I'm still active or someone else took the name which would be wrong in my opinion. Or maybe my pass got changed somehow.
The account does not seem hijacked because the last post in Nov. 2012 is mine. No others since then.
I went to the profile pages of Winston, jamesbond, fschmidt and can not see anything in the Contact section to click!
Maybe Winston or a mod can either send me a new temp pass for that old account at my new account or update the email address of that account with the one I'm using with my new account. Once again, I can prove that it's me with more info.
I'm coming back around because of all of this global covid stuff! Amazing how much has changed. It's less easier to now be Happier Abroad with all of the global restrictions and people's misery. I'm amazed that nearly the whole world went along.
Thanks for any help!
