This is the thread where you can post about your migration issues and we'll try to fix them. Disclaimer: We don't have a full set of admin / moderator tools just yet.
some people have mentioned not being able to pick their original username because their migrated legacy account was using it, so yea speak up if you ran into that
When newpunch went live I lost my prototype newpunch account which I migrated my oldpunch account with 4000 posts into, is this salvageable or will I have to deal with it
Is it possible for us to force refreshes on our accounts yet?
Came here to say that. As far as I'm aware that's the issue affecting the most people at the moment. Not that it's a critical one, but a lot of people are impacted. Some people are complaining about user name character limits making it impossible to transfer their old names over. That's probably not a bug, but it's worth mentioning.
Newpunch account says I have 128 posts when I used to have something around 2000. I think I migrated sometime around 4 days ago and it's been stuck on 128 for awhile.
Would this include original usernames that are longer than the new character limits? My original username was Emperor Scorpious II, but I had to compress it.
Will we ever be able to merge multiple oldpunch accounts into newpunch accounts?
When originally making an account here, I misspelled my name out of sheer stupidity. I had asked at the time and was told that (by postal, I think) that I couldn't get a namechange at the time because it didn't exist so obviously moderators couldn't do it either, and now that the feature exists I've spend the 20 coins on swapping the I and E to the right spot, but is there any hope at all of getting those 20 coins refunded? I realise it was my own fault, but I want to try my luck anyway.
I lost access to my original account four months ago due to an issue with google authentication. I posted about it here but since Garry didn't comment I figured nothing could be done and had to create a new account to migrate over. Any chance you could delete that old account and remove 69 from my name?
I wasted 30 coins on the change username thing cuz I didn't know we could migrate our old accounts to something with a different username lol oops
This happened to me
fixed
Only issue I have, and it's minor, is I have 1066 posts here, but 1299 back on oldpunch
I have 29,756 here and 29,128 on Oldpunch. Not that levels matter, but I'm still only level 15, which was my level when I first migrated. So I have legitimately no idea how the leveling system works.
I wasn't really referencing levels. More just where the fuck did 200 odd posts go? The numbers are a bit off since I've posted a few times since the migration, so I'm missing a bit more. But it's more of a curiosity than anything else.
I know I was just jumping off your post.
i just hope my 1600-something posts get migrated sometime soon
I migrated my account a few months ago. When I opened the new forums I hit join/create and made a new account. But it looks like I just made a new account with the same name instead. I asked on discord about it and the responses I got were I had 2 accounts or I used a different authenticator. I only ever had one account and I have only used steam for authentication.
Postcount seems to be a bit broken, but i imagine that it'll be fixed somewhat soon.
if my all of my ~10,000 duplicated spam posts got migrated than I'm sure yours will eventually lol. Tho im pretty sure garry mentioned a migration refresh button at one point, so that may help.
The extra posts are probably because posts in fast threads did not count towards your total. The rest is probably just migration farts. For example, my post count recently updated to a more reasonable 7.7k up from 7.5k on oldpunch. I'm not sure that the new value is entirely accurate. My levels and coins did not update, but whatever.
Happened to me when I signed up
https://forum.facepunch.com/u/kntc/Clearshot/ did you make a second account or something?
Migrated before I became gold, holding out for the refresh so I can get it hopefully. Also, does newpunch have a user search function? My other account was _Riley but something fucked up and I had to create a new one. (Which happens to have a capital I. rip)
I made a Newpunch account at some point with my old name and completely forgot about it, so I couldn't use the name for this account. I migrated to my Oldpunch account to this one as I didn't know/remember about the other one until after.
No I don't think so... I tried all of my emails and steam accounts and Clearshot_ is my only account on here.
then I guess you took too long and someone else swiped your name lol. I'll ask in the mod forum if anything can be done i guess.
I posted before about how for some reason auth just kept prompting me to create new accounts until I ended up clearing my cookies, so I have rrkpp, rrkpp_ and rrkpp__ registered but I migrated on the middle one which got 120 coins but I can't access the account now. Can I just have the coins and you can nuke the old account or whatever? I just want a BG card lol
awesome lol I'm pretty sure that account it isn't mine. Is it possible to share the auth account associated with it? I have tried all my emails and steam accounts and they all prompt me to create a new account.
