Can't Log Into Old Account Because I've Forgotten Password

ElleanineChan · Newb Joined: 26 Jan 2007 Posts: 5

I had an old account on here, and I would like to use it again, even though there wasn't much of anything on it. But I have no idea what email I used for it, or the password I used for it. Do I have to just start over with this account, or is there a chance I can use that account again. And also, what happened to the old skin from I think 2005. It was so much easier...I haven't been on here in so long so I know it was awhile ago... I wonder if anyone even remembers what I'm talking about...

Please help. Sad

Use the forgot password link, (bare in mind multiple accounts are not permitted)

Old skin can be set for use in User profile, Skin name is "Silver"

Well, I forgot my email for that account, and some of the email accounts I had for that time have been deleted. I don't know. And no not that background, it had a white background, and it had the cat with the blue paint on its tail. Its really really old.

Funart central uses a theme similar to that but we no longer have it.

Maybe if you posted the name of the account one of the admins could tell you which email address matches it?

Doesn't really hurt anyone, I guess, since if it's actually not you, you shouldn't be able to check the corresponding email address.

This is true, However if the E-Mail has in fact been deactivated there is nothing that can be done as it is one of the major varifications.

If one of the admins could see what the email account for HoroHoros_Girl is, could they tell what it is so I could find out if the email is deleted or not? Its a really really old account. But I'd still like it back.

I'm seeing an aweful lot of descrepencies between the two accounts asside from the E-Mail.

The E-Mail is a CS.com address.

If that is not enough you are going to have to wait for one of the higher ups to review the information and PM it.

What that means is there are other ways to verify the authentisity of an account that are off, however higher admins have access to a couple other methoeds that I do not that could verify or deny authentisity of your claim.

Varifying the authentisity of a claim is necessary to prevent someone from just stealing someones account, it may be uncommon but it has been attempted thus the precautions.

Aw, well its okay. I have this account anyway. But thanks for your help. I really appreciate it, even if I can't get my account back.

It is possible that your account still exists.

I can't do much from my point, and even more so if you didn't have your account moved from the old Fanart to the new one. (FAC's 2.0 launch, at that time, I believe.)

I'll check the database as far as I can. If nothing turns up there, then there is less of a chance you'll be seeing the account again. Sad

Also, if you think your email service is no longer a registered working email service, you'll have to supply us with a new email address, provided your old account turns up.

[b][Edit][/b]

Yes, actually, your account was moved over to the new FAC site. Your user_id is: 25136
However, I was unable to retrieve your email address and password, as they have been removed from my copy of the database for security and testing purposes.

I'll see if I can't get Denis to get the information for you, and/or bring your old account back.

I could have told you that, I have the security access and did check both accounts however variations in several arias including IP raise the yellow flag.

Exactly what do you mean, by that?

Has the account been suspended? Also, may I see the data that you have gathered?
Feel welcome to talk about this in a PM. Smile
