Merge Photopost and vBa Gallery account

[Metal-R-US]

I created a new account on this forum after I found out about the acquisition of vBa Gallery. Apparently my vBa account has been imported to this forum too because whenever I try to change my email address to the one I had over there it says it already exists. Problem is that any email from this forum don't arrive in my box for some odd reason. I was wondering if the imported account could be merged into this account.

I would need to pass this along to an admin to assist you here.

Thanks

Drop me a PM with your email and I'll see what I can do to merge the accounts of get you access to your old one.

[Metal-R-US]

pm on its way...

[Mikaelweb]

same problem here made new account on this forum after I found out about the acquisition of vBa Gallery

[NextGen]

I made a new account aswell.

[Michael P]

If the accounts shared the same email account, then they were automatically merged. If they were different I would need to know both usernames to perform the merge manaully. You can PM me the info.

I have an old account, how do I access my download to my software that I paid for?

My old account is mikekey, I have an old pp memberid and password and a pp license and a vbagallery license

[Chuck S]

vBGallery license information is being transferred and is currently not completed. Once that has been completed we will notify members.

[pennylessz28]

What is the time frame on that?

[Michael P]

As we've been saying, its a work in progress and we hope very soon.

[pennylessz28]

So you guys are merging things? I'm just curious. How the members area access will work for those who had one previously.

The Forum Leaders page lists "Chuck S" as Admin, I take it you don't know which buttons to push or it's only Michael P that provides support for such things? :S

This "imported_" prefix took a lot of figuring out & searching to find my old posts after not receiving any email warning to match account addresses!
Lets call it my fault for not keeping my photopost.com email active when I shifted product though shall we...

I am a moderator not an admin on this site.

Moderator does not have permissions to change anything with the user's account on the forum.

nae bother, just finding my way around a new site & showgroups.php confused me by listing you as Admin as well as specific forum mod

There is something in the AdminCP he needs to access.(many choices)
- FAQ's
- Smiles
- Forum editing
- etc .....

vBulletin allows limited access to members in the AdminCP. (set by SYSOP)
- The draw back of the system is your an "Administrator" in name if you need to access the site's AdminCP operations.

I was thinking of attacking that some day - well some year .... its on the back burner

[phlogiston]

yup - I understand all that
Just unexpected that any listed admin don't deal with member support issues as the main site I work with uses a hidden administrator group for folk needing to tinker with admincp bits but not suffer endless member requests!

Sometimes [strike]my second home[/strike] altnation.com is so familiar to me I forget that we aren't default set-up!


(and yes I purposely left in the non-standard [strike] tags to prove my point )



** oh and thanks to Michael P for getting me all nice & merged.

Actually I was changed to Admin and was not told so I did not know it

I was still under the assumption I was a mod and my permissions reflected that although they had to go back and set my admin permissions and everything is cool.
