'Username taken.' Restore board or not?

[harald]

Forum URL: suckysoft.proboards??.com

Hi.
I have a problem with the username 'suckysoft', and I don't know which solution is the best one here.

When I registered I put my first and last name under 'Full name', and suckysoft under 'Username'. But then my admin account showed up as my full name, and I wanted it to be suckysoft just like the name of the message board. That's why I deleted the board in the first place; to register again with 'suckysoft' as both full name and username.

Now it said that the username was already taken. I thought it was because there was still a trace of my previous registration left on the server, so I waited a few days before I retried - same results. And since it's been a while, I've forgotten the number of the proboards server! I never made a note of it since I didn't think I'd have to restore it!

Is there a solution to this problem? Should I ask for my board to be restored, or is there another way to make the username suckysoft available?

Thanks in advance!

Wait for Martyn Dale or Craig Suffolk to reply. They'll ask you to PM them some information before restoring the forum for you. Bump this thread in 24 hours if they haven't replied.

Also, you can change your display name to whatever you want it to be by going to your 'Modify Profile' page and changing the 'Display Name' option

It's best to do it when the board is actually back, since there may be issues with the info you PMed him.

It's been two days now and I'm not sure of what to expect. I haven't received a reply to my PM, and I can't check if my board is back since I don't have the full URL.

Shall I wait for Martyn to reply, or PM him again, or perhaps there's no hope to get the board back?

I couldnt find the forum, there isnt a way of directly matching a server to a user when deleted.

Do you have even a range it could be in?

Yes, I strongly believe it was 90-something. 91, possibly. I'm very sorry, but that's all I can say.

If you can't locate the forum, then could you make the username 'suckysoft' available again, please? There weren't any posts on the forum; I just need the username back.

Thank you!
