The Auth system has been around for some time, wouldn't be crazy if you did forget.
Only like 16% of my shitposes got migrated when I did so. Had like 5400 on my old account
Keep in mind the post count is not updated. If you go to your profile and click on it (prompting the user post search) you'll see the actual post count as the number of search results.
@postal Can you check if there's an account thats "_Riley"? I believe I made that account back in the day but something happened and none of my emails would log me into it
pretty sure that's happening to me right now, i don't see anyone on newpunch with the name Dutch
The level up notification seems to be endlessly returning every time I go to a new page despite having seen it.
Hey im using a different username to my old one, but im still using the same email adress. is that okay or do i need to keep my old username? its due to privacy concerns. Also I messed up making this new username because people i know already know this one. Can it still be changed?
Hey there, I'm having migration issues.
I'm MacD11, and I've been known as that since 2009 on the old forums. I migrated my account onto newpunch a couple of months ago prior to the migration that occurred a couple of days ago but I can't access it since I believe the login option for the account I migrated was removed. I didn't use any of the login methods currently available as I'm pretty sure it wasn't an external solution. If possible, I would like to have access to my old account as I've been wanting to post here ever since the migration happened but haven't been able to log in at all as a result.
newpunch always used a oAuth login. triple check you haven't used one of the available methods and you didn't remember it.
I just checked all of the solutions that are available currently and they all asked me to make a new account.
did you use a different google/twitter/steam/facebook?
I haven't, I don't recall making an account on any of those platforms specifically so that I could use this forum.
A friend of mine says that there was a login option that was removed but I don't remember what exactly that was, I get the feeling that was how I logged in though.

Hello!
What can I access my old account? I can enter it, but the forum does not work.
I've managed to create two Chaoss86's, it asked me to login via a service I plugged in the same userhandle and it registered, this account doesn't have gold and I no post history, I'm trying to remove my online presence and wanted to edit/delete some old threads. I've managed to actually log in to my old account using another browser but every time I find the thread I want to edit it prompts me to log in, both accounts are 'Chaoss86', I'd ideally like them both deleted but failing that I'd like them merged so I can edit away some old threads that may contain personally identifiable information. Thanks
I somehow screwed up migrating my proper account and now I'm stuck with G0rgus, since the other account I created on here has the name Gorgus. I don't know if I can change my name of this account to Gorgus as long as the other account is still there.
i mean yeah i can swap the names if you really want, but it looks like the 'gorgus' account has an earlier join date and only like 200 less posts. did you really want to use this account instead?
it still bugs me that my post count is fucked up and i heard that people get coins from migrating and i didnt get any
Same issue for me, the posts are there if you check your post history by clicking on it on your profile.
The indicator is whats bugged I assume, mine should be at around 9.000+ but it's only 380+ atm.
Yeah I really wanted to use this account instead and it would be great if I could swap names.
kk swapped them
Oh yeah, something like that happened to me too. There's another account Flex, I couldn't log in to it so I had to create this one with a different username. Is it possible to have my old username back?
that account you linked is a legacy account that you migrated over. you can't log into it because it doesn't really exist. the real reason you couldn't claim the name flex is because there's an account named 'FleX' on the forum Flex. he logged out right after making it and never logged in again so fuck it, i'll just swap your names.
Update on this:
Now that I'm back, I realized that I could log into my account from here because choosing GMail as auth option here, on my desktop, gives me the choice between my two email adresses (one hotmail.com, and one gmail.com). Since for some reason it doesn't give me that option on my laptop, that's why I didn't know how to connect. So yeah, that's cleared up and I'm stupid I guess.
Just for your information. Sorry for wasting your time.
This is my account:
https://forum.facepunch.com/u/kbpu/Lazov/
How can I access it?
did you try reading the help page in the top right? specifically the part about how to migrate an account?
@postal Thanks for the help!
Semms no one has answered this, you have to click it and it should stop.
That didn't fix it, it just got bored after a few days and went away of its own accord.
My account FezianEmperor seems to be stuck in the aether, none of the login methods gives me my old account. Any way to fix this? Also if possible, please recover it and rename it to this username as its the one I have wanted for quite some time.
