Can I combine my old account with my new one?

I was a member back in 2008 when I lived in Florida. Moved to Vermont and started a new account. Can I combine them into one?

Your statement makes it sound as if you created a new account because you moved...were there other factors involved?

Other than it being easier to create a new account than remember my user name no.

If you don't remember your user name, how are we supposed to merge your accounts?

Well, stupid me. I never looked myself up and I did it today and low and behold there I was. My new account and my old account, complete with my old user name.
New account stevek, old account steve123

Pick one, please, or I pick for you.

I lived in FL and started membership here as stevek123 when I moved to Vt I created a new account under stevek. I tried changing my e-mail address on my old account to my new e-mail address but it would not let me since I have my current account with the same e-mail. Sorry that all this is so involved, i did not mean it to be. I only wanted to make use of my earlier membership date, since technically I am the same person and have belonged since then, I even have most of the same snakes, but more.

If a simple fix cannot be done to just change the member ship date to the old one (which I think is 05/08) just leave well enough alone. Thanks for trying to help.

This forum is a fantastic resource and learning tool. And I respect the moderators and those who invest in their time to keep it all running smoothly. I do plan on being a paid member. I want to be. I told myself as soon as I sell my first snake on Fauna, I am becoming a contributing member.

Thanks again,
Steve (stevek)

I'm sorry, but it was either one member name or the other. So I picked the older of the two names and merged your new account into it. You may want to check your profile entries to make certain that they are now correct.

Sorry, but you left me no choice in this. When someone can't access an old account, it is ALWAYS best to notify my first. As long as they remember the member name, or SOMETHING for me to go by, then I can take care of it.

Can you access the old account? (try the password recovery system, if necessary)

don't think password recovery will work since I can't recall my old e-mail address from when I was in Florida. It's no big deal Harold, it would just be nice to have a membership since 5/17/08 rather than 2011.
