Hi all. My computer has for awhile been set up to automatically log me in to the SDMB. Today all of a sudden it wasnt working. So, I request a new password to be emailed to me. Now, all of a sudden, I just noticed, I am no longer Billfish678. I am now BLLL (an older user name I guess from a temp account). Honestly, I dont care what I am called. I am not attempting to pretend to be someone else. Just dont want to offent the no socks for any reason gods. Can you guys and gals either fix this or let it slide? Either one is fine with me. ---

Hi Bill! I’m sending this around the mod loop. Someone will be getting back to you. Thanks for letting us know. ---

Thanks guys and gals. But the fix did not work. I could not log in as BLLL. And I could not log in as Billfish678, dont have the old password and could not get a new one emailed to me automatically. I no longer have/use the yahoo email account. Use the other email account you guys have for me now (the one I used for this third sock). Setting me up as Billfish678 as a guest is fine. thanks from temporarily Billfish6789. This is like trying to call the phone company to tell them my phone isnt working 🙂 ---

I think we got you covered now – email or PM me if this is not resolving. ---
