• Migration Issues / My Account Is Broken
    285 replies, posted
An 09 gold account with just shy of 5k only got me 20 coins. That makes me think garry put too much weight on join date.
@postal Gonna hit you up for that legacy name, you mentioned a while back that it might be possible, and I'd love to nab it back.
How do I recover my previous account? I liked my June 2007 joindate
you already made an account called Kobalt tho? @Kobalt
Okay - everyone who was missing it should have gold now
Talked with you about that a bit ago I think. Forum Discussion v5 Looking from the one post on the account you linked, I can definitely say I wouldn't do something that cringey, also I tend to have my usernames in lowercase.
oh yea ok fixed
Thanks a bunch!
I don’t think it worked for me, my previous account was ShimTaco
Hi guys, it says that I joined in Nov 2017 but I joined FP back in 2010 and im back to becoming a blue member, can't find my old posts as well
did you migrate your account? https://auth.facepunch.com/legacy/start
my god, I have no idea that there is such a thing thanks a lot
https://facepunch.com/member.php?u=4825 Think I've one of the oldest accounts on the old forums. >.>;;
In what way doesn't it let you migrate?
Isn't able to find the account. Either by username or e-mail.
This might be because your password has special characters in it. Change your password on oldpunch and try again
I migrated (changed my name) and I seem to only have 16 coins - was there an issue with the transfer?
I've tried to migrate my oldpunch account, and nothing seems to be working. I have an oldpunch account, TheLonelyDonu, and I can easily log into it. Facepunch Auth doesn't want to migrate it, even though I have the correct information. In a last ditch effort, I've tried resetting my password on oldpunch to use a new password for migrating, but oldpunch keeps telling me the links it sends to my email are invalid, and I can't reset my oldpunch password. Not a huge problem, but that might be indicative that there's a bigger issue? I'm at a loss. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
I too, didn't get my gold $$$
When I registered, I was unable to use my oldpunch account name (Jcw87). Could I get this changed?
Think I gots it. Thanks all.
done
Were you expecting to recieve more? Coins follow a roughly 100:1 posts to coin ratio with a cap at 200 upon migration.
I still seem to be missing about half my posts (well I mean it's only 400 posts). I had about 967 on the old forum, and now have 662 if you count the new ones on newpunch
Ah, sorry, someone on Discord said that you would get more based on account age/prior gold member status.
Will this cause any issue: Hamster_King Hamster_King ?
My original username was tarkata14, but when migrating it said that name was already in use so I used this alternative, I don't really care but I just wanted to let you know there was an issue there. Also, are APNG files still accepted? My old avatar was an APNG but uploading it doesn't work, do I have to convert it to a GIF or something else? Sorry if this question has been asked a bunch already, I'm just curious because I know APNG files have caused issues in the past for their size, but mine is only 48kB and I don't have the original file to recreate it. Not that it was anything special.
i think im starting to see a trend here. I assumed people that migrated late just couldn't use their names since the legacy accounts were migrated over, but so far every single instance of that happening so far was actually because the user in question already registered an account and forgot about it. https://forum.facepunch.com/u/jiqs/tarkata14/ that's your account. you couldn't name this one tarkata14 because you already made an account named tarkata14. And it def is you since IP and mostly email match. If you want me to swap the usernames tho i'd be happy to.
Shit I don't remember making an account, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happened. I'll keep this username though, I prefer not having numbers in it and my new username is way more egotistical which is great, thanks though. No sarcasm intended, I seriously don't care for that username, feel free to delete that account if you need to.
Avatars can be gifs but they have to be the exact size of your avatar allowance which can vary depending on if you’ve spent coins to enlarge it or not.
