Please delete susbstitute account

Post by 55trucker »

Hello:

have been trying for a few weeks now to get a mod to delete *one* of my accounts to free up the attached email address so I can add it to THIS account.

You cannot contact me via email on the address that is attached to THIS account, that mail server no longer exists.

Once again, will a mod please look after this situation, I cannot make the change from my profile in THIS account as the email address is STILL attached to this *alter* account.

First, at least two mods have tried but have not been able to satisfy your request. Second, we don't delete accounts as that would leave holes in any threads in which that account was involved.
I'll try again to change the email address of the old account to you will be able to access it but can't guarantee success at this time.

I've had no contact with a mod on the matter......I heard back nothing, I can't get into the account of subject, right after setting it up the account was declared *inactive*, I couldn't get into it, the instruction were to contact administration to sort the issue out.

The username is 54trucker...I can't get into that account at all., there's nothing attached to it at all, it was in place for approx 10 mins. At least release the email address so I can attach it to THIS username account.

You couldn't get into it because it was never activated. It has been now. Is this now the third account you have on the forums?

yeah, that's right, it was not done by design at all, more out of *desperation*, when the password for THIS account was lost from the browser passwords I had to create a *2nd* account to get into the forum.......that account was 54trucker, seeing as I could not get into that account which had the proper email address attached I created the 3rd account *53trucker* which has an attached email address that doesn't belong to me*....I don't want to use that username account. I had to go into an older operating system on a stored harddrive to find the old password for THIS account & reinstate it into this browsers properties.

so as it stands right now....does THIS account have my proper email address attached to it?

Actually, no. You don't need an account here to post in the forum discussion forum and could have posted the request for assistance there.

Please confirm the portion of that "proper" email address by posting just the portion after the @ symbol.

Dan:

all is appropriate now, THIS account has the correct email address, *I found the confirmation email sent to me*, my email provider has a security protocol in place for all of their customers that drops any unrecognizable sources into the quarantined box. I had to unlock the restriction on Mozillazine.
Thx for the assistance, once again, if you want to dump that 54trucker account feel free to do so, THIS is the only account I will continue to use.
