i don't know the status of my old account if banned or not but started the migration yesterday and see that post count has transferred over, but join date and gold status has not.
for reference, old username was ventilated
also, what up Hezzy and Postal
Same here. I managed to migrate my account, and I got my post count but my join date and gold member status didn't come over.
Oh. Well it's not working for me.
Previous account name is waxrock.
Same thing for me. I had changed my account name, not sure if that matters. I have threads from over five years ago but my start date is recent.
How does one search for a particular user by name? I want to know who owns "Axis" because I think it might be me from ages ago but I can't find the profile.
Hi, @Hezzy .
So is it possible for you to fix it manually?
Wait a second... this isn't my old account.
Does making a new account with your old FP email cause any issues when trying to migrate?
None of my passwords are working when I try to migrate and I know I didn't get hacked considering I only have 2 emails from FP in my inbox; the authentication in 2010 and the authentication in 2018.
Much the same as everybody above, join dates don't seem to be migrating properly.

I was logged out of my account all of a sudden, and when I tried to log in again with my Steam ID and my Steam Mobile Authenticator it said that i didn't have an account.
I dropped a shitload of coins into that account, my affiliated name is on that account and my original post history from oldpunch is on that account. I need some sort of help here.
I also got logged out but could just login back no problem using google.
Disregard that, I'm an idiot. Used the wrong login credentials. It was google.
so nothing to worry about, cheers guys
Pretty sure everyone got logged out but no one should be having any issues logging back in.
Not a huge deal.
you do realize you had to relogin like at least once a year on FP right
generally sites don't let you stay logged in forever, they usually refresh your auth every once in a while
Sorry, Got it fix it.
Pretty much everyone got signed out. Garry can do that manually. Which is more likely than everyone's cookie expiring at the same time
Hey, can anyone help? I'm 100% confident that I used Steam to authenticate my previous account 'Troll?', but when I tried to log in again it said I didn't have an account yet.
I tried every other authentication method, and they all said the same.
Send help pls, I've had that account since 2010, it has a funny skeleton avatar.
You'll know what account you used because if you click on one of the option's, besides Steam I believe, it'll tell you that it doesn't show you have an account, like if you have to type in a Username, you're logging in via the wrong thing.
Thing is, they all said I haven't had an account before.
I can't assign gold to people manually
Are you sure your old account was definitely Gold? If you had more than one account, are you selecting the correct one?
Yeah, definitely. I remember posting in the GMF a bit and read some refugee posts. Is it because this new username doesn't match the old one?
I just checked your profile and it doesn't appear to have tagged you properly. Has anything else changed since you migrated your old account? It looks like it didn't work.
I mean I haven't done anything else. I saw my post count go up slowly and figured that I'd get the gold when it finished.
@Hezzy @Hezzy my posts have been transferred over but my join date and gold status have not.
My old account that was migrated: Octo pie
How do you migrate your account if you just relied on a preset password (IE: a bunch of random numbers and letters the old lost password system came up with the last time you used it) and you just found out Google Chrome randomly deletes personal information (as in, I constantly forget my password and check it all the time using the saved passwords page in Chrome but I checked it this time and it is gone with no explanation whatsoever)?
One solution is the admins could put up a LEGACY lost password page, that I could then use the form as usual. But that seems like something that probably wont happen unfortunately. If there were a page the moderators could use to easily establish a connection between old accounts and new accounts similar to the legacy authorization page currently available, that would be good too. Idk, I'm pissed I lost my old account just because Google Chrome deleted my saved password and am losing my mind because it happened without me knowing..
the old database is now i think in read only mode, so there'd be no way to modify the passwords, and other than that there's no way to prove you own that account
no way to prove other than I own the email associated with the account...
Adding onto this person's question; I'm in the same boat as him. I got gold back in the old FP thru having an older account, and also posted a few times in the GMF.
When I migrated here, all that seemed to carry over was my post count, in small increments; along with getting 2-3 facepunch coins for seemingly doing nothing.
No original join date, gold, or gold-related permissions have been added. acfan still exists so maybe that's why it hasn't worked?
For the love of god, use a proper password manager. Your use case is exactly why password managers exist.
