Hello,
I was previously “Anschutz,” for about ten (10) years then laptop crashed and bought an IPad Pro. This is a restart with my nickname and last name to prove-not a scammer. Several or more on here know me for references, should I buy or sale again.
Thanks,
OdieR…..

Not sure why a computer crash and/or new hardware would impact your account here. User names and passwords are tracked by this site, not solely on your hardware. Can you explain?

No comment.

let me describe my situation, maybe I can get an answer to my dilemma. I've been a member on this site since 2004, same username "rbs" and password. Recently when attempting to login, my password wasn't recognized, so I sent a request to reset my password, several times, with no response. I had written to administrators, still no response. In the meantime I see an item for sale that I was interested in, and in desperation rejoined the site with a different username and email address. Evidently the seller was contacted by one of the site's sleuths, that since I only had joined the site and had 1 post that I must be a "scammer" or "ghost" as the seller described. Maybe someone could explain how sending someone money for an item is a scam? If there is a risk involved in this scenario, it would certainly be the person sending the money, especially if payment was through a system such as PayPal. I would like to restore my original user name and, definitely not a "scammer".

rbsev-

Moderators do not see password reset requests, or emails about password resets. Resets are automatically generated and sent to the email on file. It is possible the email one originally registered with (which is on file) is not the one they are currently using. Password resets are only sent to the original (on file) email.

Users may want to check their email on file to see that it is current.

From the top right icon with your user name select the down arrow, select Profile, select Edit Account Settings, and double check the email on file. Update as needed.

Buying and selling on anonymous boards can be challenging, especially with the added problem of scammers. Third party comments on sales can be problematic. (The third party commenter may be altruistic, though some appear to be trying to quash a sale for unclear reasons.)

Buyers, and sellers, must make their own choices regarding which transactions to complete.

Sincerely,

Screenshot showing where to look for email address on file...

obviously I cannot get into my original account. I did edit my current account to change to my original email address and was given this message

The entered email address is already in use.

so my original email is still in the system, but still no response for resetting my password, help!

Noted, and forwarded to technical support for review.

thank you, appreciate your help

Rod,
I’ll comment, because I know you via a few emails and your ASSA posts. The same thing happened to me, except I did purchase a rear sight with only two posts, because I pm’d a few references. Although there’s certainly nothing wrong with using initials, comic names, etc., as a User Name, I’m good with my nickname and last name.
Regards,
Odie

Just an FYI, the board administration is aware of the potential issue and are investigating.

Thank you, everyone, for your help!
