Thank you Craig for working it out. My log on name was shortened to "TheSilverBui"  

No idea why that happened but at least that gives me an idea on what to tell people.  

That's why I ported the solution to mine, hopefully it helps someone out there.  

I had no issues, it took my user name, and my old passowrd.  

ok, so should I use just the beginning of the email addy? I tried typing it all in, and nothing. Shortened, nothing.

Try for the User Name the first 12 characters of your original sign on name "71_bigblockn"? then your password is your full e-mail address.  

well, i think the problem is that my email is too big. its about 25 characters or so long. I dont think the password box will hold it all, but I cant tell.  

alright. nevermind. It been fixed. thanks  

Hey, my old screen name and password wouldnt work, so i had to create a new name. Id still prefer to use my old one, so any help?  

oops. Sixt9coug was my old name. that might help  

so the many must suffer for the individual,such a strong statement.

No I dont get it. I think your just a whiney complainer. Shut up about the military, we are out there fighting so you can have your freedom of speech and way of life, dont abuse it by making fun of them. Kind of like the dog that bites the hand that feeds them wouldnt you say? Get it now?!!!  

I was also having problems login on. and I used my e mail as the password and it worked.  

If you've got a really long (ie over 12 characters) username, shorten it down to 12 characters and use your email.

For instance:
If your old name was bigoldrustyclunkercatalina, wick it down to bigoldrustyc and use your email to log in.  If you had a space in your old name, try using an underscore (this thing _) in place of the space.

You'll be able to set your display name to whatever you want it to be once you're in.



I hope everybody gets the kinks worked out, I'm tired of talking nerdy computer stuff.  I'd prefer to talk cars anyday.
