• Migration Issues / My Account Is Broken

nope. it's in use by you. because you already made an account named Nikita back in December. Nikita i'll swap the names tho but yeah i'm gonna go ahead and edit my original post because it seems pretty clear now that legacy accounts don't claim names.
Oh, huh. So that's what's happening. Okay, thanks!
Ah, I guess that makes sense. I haven't thought about that for YEARS haha. I was probably still a teen back then. It's hard to remember exactly but I think there is this one and the one by ?UnKnOwN?. The other one does seem like the right one since I see a lot of the posts I've made before. I thought I had some other more recent ones too but perhaps I'm wrong. I'll try migrating to the correct one if I don't mess it up.
Looks like the gold is back lol. Man this has been confusing. :downs:
nice lol. do you want me to swap the usernames between the accounts now?
Would someone from on high mind changing my username to CJacobsSA? I tried to sign up under that name, but it only let me use my old forums name to authorize even though my email and steam account both have the new name. It said it was already taken, but to my knowledge it's not. Maybe I signed up under that name at some point and just forgot about it, but either way the new system wouldn't let me use it. A search through my post history on the old forums will show you that I am the same person.
@CJacobsSA <-- it is already taken. Because yea you already made an account with that name. But sure I'll swap them.
Got it, thank you, I thought I signed up for the preview forum with Doomish but I guess not. Much appreciated.
The postcount on my profile still hasn't updated to reflect the number of posts i have. I feel like it would have updated by now.
Yeah, surely post counts should have updated somewhat by now.
My post count is showing more posts than I thought I had so I'm not sure if it's just some users' postcounts aren't updating or what. Maybe garry is only updating users in groups/waves to prevent server/database slowdown or something.
Please.
i don't understand what his problem is. or why he can't post it here himself. he has to be able to make a new account here first before he can migrate. is he not even able to do that?
I accidentally migrated a 10 year old account instead of my main account.. I must have gotten the registered email address mixed up. I use the username Mornedil everywhere so I don't really want to create a secondary account with a new username. Is there a way to do any of the following? - stop the merge process or let me merge a 2nd account? - delete this new account so i can make a new one with the same username? - change the username of this account so i can abandon it and make a new account? i know this was a mistake on my end, but i'd be very happy if there was anything that could be done
just make another account and merge with that one instead and i can swap the names between this and that one
Any chance you could Merge this account with my other one? (wingwolf) I know I migrated it, It just wont let me access it via any of the authorizations.
hi yes i'm not postal but if none of the login options work (and you weren't silly enough to go and delete the facepunch login from the oauth provider itself) you haven't tried all your google/steam/twitter accounts
I authorized with steam, and Migrated with that. When I logged in with steam again, it had me make a new account. Cannot seem to migrate the account a second time. Though, I also can't seem to get back to the old forums to check my password is working.
if it had you make a new account that was not the login you used
@postal I forgot to ask. Can you go ahead and swap my username?
done
Posts in fasts threads didn't count towards your postcount on oldpunch. They appear to do so now.
tried to migrate by created a new account of the same username, but it didn't work I guess help
My shit's fucked by the looks of it.
well im sorry to hear that
my post count is still bugged, if I check my post history page it tells me I have over 10.000 posts but anywhere else on the site and it says I'm 400+
hello ?
hello! i have no idea what you're saying. what do you mean "migrate by created a new account". You make a new account (which you've already done), then you go to the migrate page and select what account you want to migrate, and give it either the email or password (i can't remember which. maybe both. idk it'll say). Facepunch Auth
Basically he migrated before the move, linking facebook to his account. Then months later, after the move, he went to log in and it said he didn't have an account. In the process of trying to figure things out he made a new account linked to his facebook called Arc Nova 2, which he is unable to log out of.
I'm probably just dumb, but how do I even migrate my old account? Tried searching but it didn't really help
