Status: offline 		Ok, a while back - years back - something screwed up on my account, so I had no luck with any forum support and I ended up having to create a new account - Roger Neilson II. Today it screwed again and I have ended up having to create another new account.......

First problem, my emails have already been used, so I had to dig out an obscure one to even get registered.....

Second problem, all my contacts and past history is of course all gone.

Is there anyone who I can contact about this, or am I just having to start all of this again?

Its crazy.

Ok RANT over.

The best way is to contact Erik Rutins of Matrix!

Status: offline 		As far as I can see its down to the requirement to use a different email, most of us run out of emails if we have to swap from one we have used. In my case I was getting rid of one I did not want to use any more and replacing it with my usual one - but hey, that had already been used once. So I have ended up having to effectively create a new one just to get back on. Seems a pretty daft thing, should be possible to change your email on a forum without having to lose everything.

Roger (the third now) Maybe I am establishing a dynasty!

Unfortunately, it appears that moving and getting another e-mail addy may kill my current Matrix account. I guess I could just not change the account info and tell everyone not to use e-mail to contact me. Sigh.

Ooh...another option: Getting people to pay me to NOT assume a perjorative handle.

I wonder if the login "Captain Mandrake the nosepicker" would elicit some bids?

I insist on another re-incarnation photograph in your sig line

Seems a long time since you were despairingly listening to Newcastle on a Saturday afternoon as plain old Roger Neilson. Some changes have been for the better

Yes if I am stuck with the new ID I will sort another sig.

As for Newcastle..... what a difference this year, despite a host of reasons why we should not be doing as well as we are.

Roger

Ok trial and error. Has to be a gif format, on photobucket it seems, and using the html tags [img]...[/img]

What happens to your purchased games?

Also if you have problems over your games Matrix are very helpful - unlike the backwater that the forum seems to be they sort the games licensing out fast if there is a problem.

Glad you got your signature line back Roger...your quote 'Do not act incautiously etc..' always bought a smile to my lips!!

An unplanned dynasty..lol

Should'nt you have employed the magisterial 'III' instead of the lowly '3' in your latest incarnation?

I had to pick somebody, the Manchesters were too obvious and Arsenal has a cannon in their logo. Very Texan if you are familiar with the "Come and Take It" Gonzales flag.
