If you use G+ to create your new account with the same email as the old it will only import your account if you use the same username and type in the legacy password. In retrospect this is kind of dumb and i’ll add it to my TODO list to fix. Unfortunately that doesn’t really help you as you now have a new account and didn’t import your old one. You aren’t the only one who has run into this problem and I am working on a solution for people who find themselves in the same situation as yourself. Just hang tight for a bit as there’s a number of more pressing issues I need to take care of first but it’ll get done as I know it’s important to you guys.
No problem. I have no qualms waiting until you have the time to work on the lower priority stuff.
@bowendj1 did you try Unclever_title? I’m probably wrong, but I seem to remember your name having an underscore in it.
Considering that this forum is like, bleeding edge, your commitment to fixing these issues is inspiring 
Hopefully at some point they’ll a) consider MySQL/MariaDB support b) create migration scripts from other forum software.
Just tried that now. No dice. But thanks, I hadn’t even considered that one.
Hm, perhaps I should have spent more time looking into importing my old account before creating a new one. I’m fairly certain I tried to log in with my correct old information first (which obviously didn’t work) but quickly resorted to creating a new account.
It occurs to me though that when signing up I was not allowed to include a space in my username, which my old username did include. How are spaced usernames from the old forum treated here?
If they are treated as an underscore then I probably screwed myself because I didn’t go back and try to log in as “The_Sane” before creating a new account with that name.
Spaces are not allowed. Before we launch the KS I’ll provide a special page that everybody can go to and link their old account for those of you who were unable and/or forgot to import your legacy account.
That’ll be good.
I understood that spaces aren’t allowed here, I just didn’t know where that left those with legacy accounts that did include a space in the name. But given a whole different way of recovering old accounts is in the works this is no longer an issue.
