• Migration Issues / My Account Is Broken
    285 replies, posted
I looked at his post history and all of his posts are quoted with the name "Clearshot", this rrkpp guy is also having some strange issues with underscored names I think there's something duplicating accounts and attributing the posts to an account with an underscore added to them. Here's a couple links to posts where that account is quoted with the name "Clearshot" and not "Clearshot_" Fight to Survive Fizzling an entity?
Well to be fair I'm not having any trouble with post attribution, my issue is basically that I made a prototype Newpunch account called rrkpp ages ago, then when Newpunch went live a few days ago I tried logging in and it said my email didn't have an account, but I couldn't use "rrkpp" so I did "rrkpp_". That one worked, and while I was logged in I migrated an old account. Then I logged out (can't even remember why) and tried to log back in, but it said again that my email didn't have an account even though I had just created one. So I erased my cookies, made "rrkpp__" and now I can successfully log in and out of this one, but I can't access the previous one lol
How do I go about migrating my old account? I didn't have a ton of points, but I've been here for a long time and would atleast like to retain my join date. (My old account was under the same name)

when you migrate an old account over, all the old posts that account made take on your current profile, which means it also takes on your current name. so yea they just got changed when he made the account clearshot_ and migrated his legacy account over top it.
What I mean is which auth method is associated with the account https://forum.facepunch.com/u/kntc/Clearshot/ so I know if it is actually an account I created or not.
oh, my understanding is unless it's a provider that sends the email of the user back, it's just an oauth token so hope you used google or facebook on that one (assuming its yours)
i can't really give out random people's email addresses to anyone. all i can say is that you're both canadian, the email that account uses seems disposable to me, and it was active like 26 hours ago or something. like it reaaallly seems like an account you must've made. two canadians going by the name clearshot is a pretty big coincidence, tho neither account has any exact IP matches. Maybe when you're browsing from your phone or something you're logged onto it instead of this?
I checked my phone and I'm logged into Clearshot_ on there aswell. I really don't think it is my account... but what are the chances of another Clearshot also being from Canada. It almost feels like something glitched during the signup process. Is there any way I can just get my username back?
When I migrated my account it said my username was taken for some reason so I had to add this _ to the end, Can that be removed please?
you couldn't take the name because you literally already registered an account named hendo late last year lol. "Hendo". And this time I know it's your account because the email is nearly identical. but SURE ill swap their names
Huh i don't even remember registering that account, But thank you for changing it for me
I've been hold on facepunch for many years but for some reason it didn't transfer when I migrated
I'm completely broken / brain damaged. I preemptively made this account before the initial swap, but now it tells me this account was made 2017, not gold etc -- assuming it's because I used a different email.
Hey - Could I get two accounts merged? I logged in with steam thinking it would prompt me to merge it with my google account, well it didn't That's the other account: RakoPL If it's possible can I keep Rako username, but get coins transferred from Steam account to this one, (should be like 7 coins), as long as thread ownership transferred to this one? And it'd be great to associate this account with steam, if possible Thank you!
force refresh for old punch gold to new punch gold for people who migrated before they had gold on oldpunch.
You login to your account and use Facepunch Auth to add a second authentication method. If you're not logged prior in it's not going to link to your existing account.
Just a quick question, I was a gold member before on oldpunch. Do I have to re-earn that? Sorry if this has been asked a billion times.
Posting again about this lel, if account merging is possible I'd love my prototype newpunch account to be merged with this account cause I had gold and 4000~ migrated posts, the TM in the name would also be pretty swell <3 Other account is Tin Can™
I migrated and used my main account (Loadingue) on my home desktop with no problem, though it uses a "hotmail.com" mail and I'm not entirely sure how I managed to log in. Now I'm on my laptop and I can't log in to my main account because I can only try to log in through Steam or GMail, and Facepunch doesn't seem to recognize either as my main. So while trying to log in, it created this one through GMail and "Loadingue3" through Steam (mentioning it for reference).
My original account was "Episode" and it won't port over.
when you go to https://auth.facepunch.com on your desktop, login using the method you used, and see which auth methods are connected.
So we still have people who had gold on thee old site, but don't have it here, right?
If I lie, can I have it?
Paid up swine
fixed it. im still convinced that other guy is your account but if not OOPS sucks for him
Still haven't figured this out, does one get any coins for migrating? I know some people got a bunch, but I didn't get any. I thought you need to use your legacy username to properly migrate, but now I want to change it, but it's gonna take a while without any extra coins.
Nope
Yeah I did, ~70ish for an 05 gold account with 5k posts
