Email notifications on old forum email address

@samuelclay

So with the login changes to the forums I have lost access to my old forum account. Which I do not really care about. Except for one problem. I am still getting forum emails from the account I can no longer access.

I figured this might come up. What’s your old email and your new email. Feel free to DM me here and I can merge the accounts.

I do not have the ability to DM you. Assuming it’s because my trust level is not high enough yet. Discourse forums requires atleast level 1 to send DM’s.

Dm Sent.

Okay, so this is a first for me. I merged the accounts. You can see you’re now your original account here. When I merged it, I think it merged the emails, so you should be able to log in. I would log out, then log back in to make sure everything works as you expect. If you do that, you will do me a favor because then I’ll know how to do this for every other future user. That’s why it’s important you log out just to confirm that you can log back in as you’d expect.

It did merge the two accounts correctly. From what I can tell everything is working correctly. Had no problems logging back in.

Thank you.

I seem to be stuck in a similar way. Didn’t realise the forum login was changing, and my emil addresses do not match. I’ve had to sign up for a new forum account to be able to post this, but I’d rather get the old one back. I cannot see a DM button, which I’m hoping will appear after making this first post on a new account.

Happy to merge accounts! Discourse makes it easy. I wonder if theres a way to allow 0-trust users to DM admin at least. Anyway, you can DM me your emails and I’ll merge them.

Thanks! Unfortunately I still cannot see the ā€˜Message’ button on profile cards.

My other account email address is almost identical to this one, with an additional ā€œ.meā€ before the TLD.

Done, account has been merged and you can now login with both emails.
