I have been trying to log into these forums with my standard id of tdekoekkoek and my standard gmail account.

It just won't work. I have had it resend new passwords several times. None of them work. I had to create a new account and use an old email address to finally get on and be able to post this message.

Can this be resolved so I don't have to remember a different username and keep a separate email account?

No wonder that you cant login because the user account "tdekoekkoek" doesn't exists on this forum. If it would exists you can login with your username/email adress and your password.

It does exist. At least when I request a reset of password it lists "tdekoekkoek" as my username. Also the username is unavailable if I try to register it again.

Go to the Members Page

http://forum.yetanotherforum.net/yaf_members.aspx?g=members  and search for the user, the user "tdekoekkoek".

Was the account approved? The resason why the username is unavailable now is because there is a bug in that version it matches the user name "tdekoekkoek1" which contains "tdekoekkoek".

I still am forced to use a username I don't want to use and an email account that I don't want to use. There must be a simple way to activate the account "tdekoekkoek". Surely forum software like this has to handle these kinds of user management issues better. I KNOW that I created user tdekoekkoek and I KNOW that it will not let me log in and I also know that it will not let me reset the password.

Let me rephrase the problem. I have a standard email account. I use that to log into sites all over the world. I cannot use that to log in to this forum. I would appreciate any help resolving this matter as I do not want to maintain a separate email account just to be able to use these forums.

Thanks.

My only guess is that aour originally account is not activated, that's why it's not listed in the members page.

Did you receive an activation email when you registered your original account? The email system was broken for a while, which may have caused that you didn't received an email.

Try to contact Jaben via pm, and ask him to manually activate your account.
