I tried to register for this forum using my email quincy@infinite-life.org . It said another user was using that email. i figured I must have registered earlier at somepoint. So, I aske to reset my password using that same email address. So, I followed the email link to reset. Now when i log in it shows a username of Milton555...uhm that's not me. t shows that i have all kinds of posts that are not from me but were posted by... Milton555. There's noway that someone else is using my email address because it's unique to my personal name and domain. Can someone please help?
Thank you in advance

According to the member list, you don't even exist.
Forum got hacked again?

Anyone else have access to your computer? People often think that "hacking" is what happened, when the more reasonable explanation is a friend or roommate that knows your password, or uses your computer.

Since "There's noway that someone else is using my email address because it's unique to my personal name and domain." Then, one possible conclusion is that you are schizophrenic, and nothing that anyone here can help with, not even Brad or Rob. :lol:

Otherwise, you could send an email or PM to Brad Traweek to see what can be done, if anything.

You might want to edit your post there and remove your email address. It's not a great idea to post personal email addresses on forums like this, you'll get spammed to death.

When the forum changed a while back, there were a few glitches in logging in.

I couldn't log in to my old one back when it happened. And I couldn't use my user name again. But rather than hassle Brad to make it work, I created a new account. I used to be Shredd6, I created a new account as Jah Soldier.

If you signed up back before the forum changed, that could be all it is and nothing to really worry about.

Thanks everyone. Since my wife is my only roomate, I don't think it's that. I think I will delete the account and start over.
Thanks!

Okay, now I'M Milton555. That's not me either. It seems I've had an account here before and I did the same thing. I entered my email address and asked to change my password and it looks like I'm now Milton555. Is there an admistrator or mod that can help me sort this out?

Delete your email address from your post as suggested. Re-register under a new user ID. Somewhere along the line one of the administrators will pickup this thread and hopefully figure out why the glitch.

Are you the Quincy who started this thread? Or are you a new guy who just got assigned the Milton555 username?
