Lost Username

[ghm12S]

Not quite sure how/why, but my username on OS has been changed.

Could you please help me retrieve my previous username.

Thanks.

You've had this one for a few years. What is your old user ID?

My actual/original username is "Townie33."

Again, no idea where this current "ghm12S" came from (unless my account was hacked).

Townie33 is still an active account. You would just need to sign in using that username and the correct password. There should be a forgot password option if you don't remember it. It would go to the email you used to set up that account which is different than what you used to set up this one.

This account was created at some point by you with a different address which is [email protected]

Re: Lost Username

There in lies the issue.

When I have attempted to sign in with my username (Townie33) I get booted.

When asking the website for a new password (using my gmail address) it tells me my username is "ghm12S." Not sure where that comes from. Yet, when I sign it using that (and an updated password and my original gmail address) I get into the site.

And........not sure what this signature is below???

I am perplexed to say the least

Not that it matters. But I also am a donor.

The email address you used to register with Townie is a hotmail address, not a gmail address. I can PM it to you if you'd like.

This username and your other username were registered with the same IP address. (The only two emails registered with this IP) Do you use a shared computer?

Wow......simply WOW!
It's been so long ago. Had no idea to even THINK about a former email address.
And I did have a hotmail account at the time.

Now, recovering it............that's another issue.
