Haven't used the forums for a while and see things are different. I can log in, but can't see any of my previous posts. If I click on Messages in my login name dropdown I'll get an access denied" message.
How do I get back to where I was?

Thanks,
...bill

Turning this over to Admin, Bill. I'm not getting anywhere with your username either.

Can you see what's up here? I'll bet it's the periods, some members had problems during the last upgrade with non-text characters as part of their username. Me for one.

I'm OK changing my user name if that's what it takes. How do I find or link to old posts?
Thanks,
...bill

For the time being, you can't access old threads. I can't even pull them up.

Let's give Admin a chance to look into it.

You can do a forum search up at the top bar. See post #6 HERE.

I was able to search your old topics that way.

I'll anxiously wait for a fix.
Was going to initiate a new thread or 2 in other topic forums, but I'll wait until the current issue is resolved.

Thanks,
...bill (for now)

Hi Bill,

This one is a little trickier than some of the other usernames we have fixed but we'll get on this one--it might take a couple days to fix so I will keep you posted!

Sorry for the trouble.
