Thanks for bringing this to our attention. A couple of users seem to be experiencing some problems with signing up. I’m looking into it!

@jeremdee when you say you can’t connect what exactly do you mean? Does the site just show up blank when you try to visit it?
@jeremdee @xamino1 I have just tested our reset password stuff and as far as I can tell it’s working fine.
The password reset feature is just the cause of the problem. The real problem is that I am unable log back into my original account. Any login attempt leads me to this account.
I’ve just tried again and am now unable to log in to both accounts. Attached the error I get when trying to get on the forums after entering my credentials into the login formula.
EDIT: Just to clarify, I’m posting this from my tablet which is still logged in. I won’t change anything here until I can log in to any of the two accounts (xamino & xamino1).
EDIT2: Using the password reset function I get an email for both my old email address (from the old forum) and my new one (the current gmail address). However, both result in an error on login.
What seems to be going on is that your account xamino as imported from our legacy databse. You changed the email address associated with that account on the forums. This was before Discourse supported something called Single Sign On (SSO) and at that time I was manually syncing the forums DB with our main site. Once Discourse supported SSO I switched our forums over to using it. Because you had changed your email address on the forums from what was registered on the main site Discourse assumed you were a different person and automatically created a new account for you. You now have 2 forums accounts one of which should be unattainable - likely forever.
How are you trying to reset your password? Are the emails you’re receiving being sent by the forums?

Via the login form forgotten password link. The emails I’m receiving come from [email protected].
If I delete this account (xamino1) can you reassign the xamino account so that I can get back into it? Theoretically you’d just have to change the email address in the DB, I think. Except if that won’t work for some reason? I mean the account still exists somewhere, after all the posts and everything is still there. I also still receive the weekly emails on updated topics from it.
Thank you for looking into it in any case! 
Ok, i think i get it
Im actually logged with facebook on forum and website.
Should i create a new account on both?
@xamino1 @cybercritic I don’t believe I can delete either account because they both have considerable history at this point. It’s possible to merge them but I would have to do that by hand and it could possibly take quite a lot of time. In the near-term I can simply turn off xamino1 and turn on xamino I think per your suggestion. I’ll try to get to that soon.
@jeremdee If you created your account via your Facebook login, which looking at our records that appears to be the case, that would explain why you can’t reset your password - there is no password to be reset. If you forgot the password for your Facebook account you’ll have to visit facebook.com to reset it. DO NOT create a new account.

Thanks Keith, at least there is a partial solution, @LucasFIN / @LucasFIN1 has the same issue as xamino iirc, maybe do a fix for him too while you’re at it?

Finally back!

@INovaeKeith Can the same solution be applied for my account since I think me and Xamino had the same problem?

I don’t think so: cleaned the mobile browser and tried incognito mode, no change. And here I was all glad it was over…

I want to change my email address
We don’t currently allow you to change your primary email address. We’re working on adding that.
