Is anyone else having/had problems signing into their community account today?
So I manage to sign into My Account and do the required (unnecessary) password change to access the account to see what has changed with this latest update and then try to access the community account and instead I'm directed to create a community account. Of course, I type in my regular community name and I'm told that username is already taken?!!
After a few more attempts retrying and going around in circles (yes doing incognito etc) try to submit a ticket and what do you know...I'm unable to submit a ticket because I don't have (apparently) a community username/account to be able to do so. After several more frustrating attempts, I create a new username so that I can actually submit a ticket to support to get access to my regular community account and, hopefully, retrieve my username!
Of course, now I'm waiting for a response which I'm assuming is not going to be quick and as I'm sure with the updates there are probably many tickets ahead of mine. To say I'm a little frustrated right now would be putting it mildly!! So far not impressed with this updated rollout.
Also what's with this weird very long lag time between typing and seeing it onscreen...

Ya, should do that, thanks.

@5Gcauses1 Did you manage to recover your username yet? If not, you need to contact support again as they need to verify some account details to ensure they're re-linking the correct accounts.

@Anonymous Yo tell the higher ups I need help too

@Anonymous , they should have known the outcome without testing it all 1st! Don’t forget to come back here with @dabr saying I’m back 👋 when you get it back!

@softech I've been getting all the notifications (inc. new badges) and now have to find where to turn them off. I'd forgotten how annoying they can be.. edit: you don't see your avatar either? that's strange, lol
@hTideGnow Yeah, I think it's going to be a very busy few days for CSA's !

Oh no, how can I miss my buddy!!!
@Anonymous / @dabr what you did wrong for PM to ban you. (sorry, just joking)
@hTideGnow , awww sorry! I ruined your guessing game! 🤣 I wasn’t thinking!

HI @Anonymous yes, it is a crazy day today,
see how many posts and how many replies. I think today's number is the total of the whole April's

@Anonymous
And to make you feel better, I lost something today too (although not magnitude like yours)
I lost my notification/pop up alert for bravos
and I lost my "My Profile" from my Avatar.
Maybe I lost more but I just didn't check the "Lost & Found" yet 🤣
05-24-2023 06:20 PM
@softech Lol...😁
05-24-2023 06:18 PM
Welcome back @Anonymous (should I use "back", you are not really back yet 😅)
and honest, I would make the same guesses looking at the username. This username is not very dabr-like

@Anonymous , yup & I completely agreed with this choice! A few lost their names today!
Kinda like having a multiple personality at the moment! 😩

HI @Anonymous
you are a lady in Vancouver with black cat managing many accounts?
05-24-2023 06:08 PM
@hTideGnow No guesses? 🤔
05-24-2023 06:06 PM
HI @LitlLdy but it could be fun to guess who this new username is. 🤣

@Anonymous wrote:@LitlLdy Lol...yeah, I'm hoping they'll be able to restore those accounts and usernames soon now that it's been escalated. It could also affect rewards from this month too I'm thinking..
Does anyone know what the Share button is for...oh nvd I guess you can share the post quickly without having to link it from the profile..
@Anonymous , it bothers me also due to the fact that I like seeing the long time regulars user names! I don’t feel so lost! Plus even new Customers see who's been here so long (we’ve been there/done that)! We’re one big dysfunctional family! 🤣 Sometimes we get along & sometimes we’re grumpy but we get it! We still help each other through it all! 🙂

@softech My email for this account has no special characters so I don't think it's email related.
@Anonymous , hopefully you get your name back! For some of us it is part of our identity 🙂

isn't it more the other way around, I think, the email login is tir to My Account, and the link to Community simply by nickname (and in your case the nickname link is gone somehow)
So, on a cookieless browser, can you just try to login to My account and see if it works??
or you can login with your email on Community??
If it was as simple as logging in, I would not be here stuck with other customers having the same problem. The transition to the new sign on has been fine. I have been able to create a new password and get into the online account. Either from within the online account or sign on into the community, I get to the same spot, I am signed in and requested to provide a nickname as if I am creating a brand new community account. I cannot use my current nickname to "reclaim" my account. I get the error that nickname is already in use, here is a suggestion. I can only surmise that somehow my email address is no longer associated with my existing community account. I have gone into my community settings and I see the email address in the eversafe ID info tab. If I select manager eversafe ID, I end up with this. This is why I surmise that my email address is not really associated with my community account anymore even though the email shows as associated in eversafe ID info tab. Something glitched along the way and I am guessing that it is not a universal impact but affects selected accounts. That is why we have select members here looking for a solution.

So this is what people would be seeing using the chatbot's appropriate menu's. Why do I have to reset my passwords for either? I'm starting to assume they should have been merged if they were the same email for both account and community. Original username 5Gcauses fyi, also, how do I go about explaining this? edit edit: I leaked my email address please don't do anything to me 😞
