Registered but can't login or fix

Post by pmcaya48 »

Registered last night, received activation message, used activation link. Login refused even though I was certain of username/password. Tried every fix like "forgotten pw" - no match to email/username? Tried to re-register but account was "active". Seems like I'm in a closed loop. Thanks in advance for your help. I'm a long-term SM user. - Peter

Can't find any user for your IP address.
Which username did you use?

Sorry, no such user.
Can you post the content of the confirmation email?

There is an old user named pmcaya.

Just successfully logged in with pmcaya username and desired pw. I believe my recent registration conflicted with an older account. So I'm good to go! Lets stick with the old acct Thanks - Peter
