A bit of trouble
« on: July 26, 2009, 08:21:45 AM »
Hello everyone,

Just joined, but I am having some problems already.  My apologies if these are simply a result of my unfamiliarity with the board software.  But here goes:

1) I cannot send PMs.

2) I cannot view anyone else's profile.

The next one is unquestionably operator error:

3) I carelessly mistyped my login name when registering.  The genus is correct, but the species should be "bibiens" - note the current incorrect spelling.  Is there a way to change this?

Many thanks,

Hb

Well, looks like 1) and 2) are resolved.  I don't know if it took logging back out and logging back in again, or if it just took some time for the various permissions to take effect.  But, now that I can PM, I will deal with 3) that way.  So all points may now be safely ignored :)

The ability to send PMs and view profiles only becomes available after you've made 1 post in the forum. This is to prevent spammers from sending messages to other users.

I can change your name for you. If you can't log in using the name you registered with try the new one. I should have it changed soon.

Your name has been changed. It reset your password in the process, so check your email for the new password.

OK, understand what happened now, and everything is working just fine.  Thanks!

Will contact you by PM about another matter.

Thanks again.
