Heyas, this is Rand Al'Thor, I used to post here a while ago and have mostly just lurked since. Recently I was going to post in a thread so I logged in typed up the post and was going to send it when I remembered that my sig was rather... out of date, so i when into the profile panel and changed it.
I went back to my post and when I previewed it, it said "unregistered" as the username. So I figured that I had somehow logged myself out. I hit the login link and tried to login with my normal user name and password, however, after 20 tries and very careful typing I figured I was doing something wrong and had the "forgot pw" send it to my email.
At this point I went to my email to retrieve that password, and noticed that while the email confirmed that my password was still "xxxxxxx" My username was blank. It was quite literally
"Your UserName is: "
So I tried entering no user name or just a space with the old password and still no luck.
So my question is, can I get my account back? I can provide the pw and other info if it is needed.

The answer is likely, YES. But it will have to wait for Percy to fix it.
For reference, your old user number appears to be 1340.
We have had a few others with similar problems, and those have all been fixed. It has to do with the new software version, and slightly different membership name requirements than the old version.

Problem is fixed, all your profile settings are from the original Rand Al'Thor account. Wannabe Al Thor is now an alias.
AbE: Problems with other accounts were caused by name collisions because the new software is case independent, but your problem was unique. It was caused by the apostrophe in your account name. This problem has been fixed.
Edited by Admin, : More info.
