Problems with rating files

[SMIFFGIG]

UMM IT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER IF YOU COULD ACTIVATE MY OLD SMIFFGIG account or change my name to SMIFFGIG and delete my old SMIFFGIG account.

I forgot the password for my old SMIFFGIG account so like a year and a half later decided to make my SMIFFGIG's account

The *DL dance*, first it should be mentioned that the old accont is disabled, if you believe SMIFFGIG's. Second the DL wasn't created for faking or something else otherwise the name would be a lot more different and created a year and a half afterwards. So the question is if it is really a DL, I would say no, but in the end Marcos has to answer this question somehow.

I don't think you can do that...

Why would you want to know it?

No, he just lost his password, from what I understand the account itself is okay.

Doesn't matter, a DL is a DL (but not every DL is a malicious DL - and you don't get punished for giving up DLs that are given up before a mod catches them).

Heck, I think even I can't do that, and I'm an Directory Editor...

Exactly, there's no value whatsoever in knowing it...

OK that should end now the DL dance, and that was it with the old account.

There is no real value in it, but it is a piece of information about me, and I am just curious.

lets see...

You might need to edit the sign-up script to disallow the ' character. Seems to be causing all sorts of problems.

Damn it check the posts that I made with my old account through searching in the members link, I would call them far from malitious.

Well nice to see you trust me around here

Anyway i wouldnt mind my old name back, as a mentioned before

Did you know that you can email Markos if you lost your password?
When they upgrade the forums to the next version your acounts can be merged.

[SMIFFGIG]

No i didnt know that thanx, i would like them merged for next time


The reason I left it so long to get a new one was cause I wasnt bothered I had lost my password as I wasnt playing CtP2 much and I had tottaly gone off Civ3 (and still hate the game)

Then I started playing CtP2 again because I randomly visited here and seen all the class modding that was going on so downloaded MM2 which I used to have the first version or whatever and now its just the best Civ game there is like the good old days when Civ2 first came out.

I belive thaat can be done by the use of SQL as well... Even without an upgrade.

[SMIFFGIG]

Ok so whats going on, will I ever be able to rate files?

Can I have my name changed?

[MarkG]

your forum login and you directory login are now SMIFFGIG
password and e-mail are the same

you'll probably need to logout and re-login from the forum to set the username/password cookie correctly
