Bookmanyes me Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Good afternoonn all, very odd, I have had an account on this forum for god knows how long but when I tried to access today I had to start a new account. Using Bookman only to be told that someone else has that moniker. So I entered Bookmanyesme I now have a new account. Any ideas? or was it a senior moment for me:).

caleb1 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 If you ask me, the "someone else" who had your username may have been you. Maybe try the forgot password link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boetie Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Very strange indeed. I've got no idea but I remember BradB (real name John) had a similar thing happen a few years ago. He had quite a few thousand comments under his belt and then suddenly all was blocked. Correct me if I'm wrong John. His current profile indicates about 36k contributions but it's probably more like 46k. Perhaps Bookman is a popular name? The IT world is not immune from glitches ?

John Heaton Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 you were not alone - it happened to me when I came back after 12 months Told someone else was using the name - and my recorded password didnt work so I just rejoined - new name - new password - but I lost my records and purchases and comments made over time Maybe there was a glitch somewhere back when Orbx started to grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookmanyes me Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Yes very odd, I also could not login I had to rejoin so could not go down the lost password route. Oh well in the scheme of things it's no biggie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
