I had to open a new DU account. [View all]

[love_katz]

This is luv_mykatz. I might have spelled it as luv_mycats. Anyway, I am not a new poster, nor am I a newbie to DU.

Because my old account was registered with an old email account that I don't have anymore, I could not send myself a temporary password so I could access my old account. There did not appear to be any way of fixing my problem, other than to open a new account.

I see, from looking at my little book where I keep track of passwords, that I had to change my DU password last year on 12/9/11. Unfortunately I didn't write down what the new password was, so I could not access my old account tonight.

Hmmm...checking my little book, I see that my old username was luv_mykatz.

Anyway, I have lost my post count. This is a bummer, because I don't post very often. It will take me a long time to build it back up. Sadly, some people won't respond to someone with a low post count, because that can be a way to identify people who are trolls.

I am NOT a troll.

Hopefully, others will learn from this, and write down their passwords. Perhaps the admins can come up with a way for members to update our account information? Maybe someone can post a thread so this doesn't happen to anyone else? Pretty please?
