When I originally began posting to the Dope, my user name was AdoptaMom . Somewhere along the line I screwed my password up, couldn’t access my account any longer and created AdoptaMom_II to avoid confusion about who I was and to avoid accusations of being a sock. I’ve been Adoptamom_II since that time (2004?).
Is it possible, because my user names are so similar, to merge/migrate the posts from AdoptaMom to Adoptamom_II?
You need to email TubaDiva and get this taken care of. What you should have done way back then was to contact the administrators when you forgot your password and had them reset it for you, but it’s obviously too late for that now. AFAIK, there’s no way to merge two accounts; what they’ll want to do to handle this, I can’t say.
When you send that e-mail to TubaDiva, it would behoove you to include a few adorable kitten pictures. You know… just saying…
Technically, you can merge accounts in vBulletin 3.5 and 3.6. I can’t remember whether it’s possible in 3.0 or not.
Yeah, we’ll see what we can do about this.
It’s never a good idea to abandon a screen name like this, but since you’ve 'fessed up and come forward voluntarily, no harm, no foul.
