Somehow I got logged out, and now I can’t get back in. I’ve asked several times for emails to get logged back in, but haven’t gotten a single email to help me. I even sent an email to the webmaster, and nothing,  
Any way I can get my login back?  
This is Rick\_Kitchen, by the way.

[There is a thread on this](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/problems-accessing-the-sdmb/916136/2).

Please send an email to [EngineerCompGeek@gmail.com](mailto:EngineerCompGeek@gmail.com) and we’ll try to get you sorted out. If you previously sent an email to TubaDiva, we do not have access to her email and have no record of any conversations you may have had with her.

And if you can’t access the new site because you had the wrong email on your old account, definitely do not create a sock account using your new email since the system only allows one user per email address and that will lock you out of using your new email with your old account (which is a lot more hoops we have to jump through to fix it).

This isn’t my problem, and doesn’t help whatsoever.

I’d say it does if you ask for **engineer\_comp\_geek** ’s help. 🙂

I flagged your thread. Maybe they will get back to you.  
Short staffed as they are.
