I can't log into a FreeForums.net board.

Forum URL: (private)

I have been a member of a FreeForums.net board for about a year and a half with no problem accessing it. Then one day when logging in I get a message saying that my account has converted to a ProBoards account, or something like that. I know my log in info and so I did not forget it.

I try to login to the forums and get this message: You have successfully logged into your ProBoards global account. Do you already have an account on *************? If so, enter your username and password below to link your forum account to your ProBoards global account.

I do that  and I get this message: The account you are trying to link has already been upgraded or linked. Please login with your email address.

Sounds simple, I do what it asks then I get this message: The username you entered was invalid. Usernames do not have spaces or special characters. Please make sure you are entering your forum username, not display name.

I finally locate a ProBoards forum dashboard and the forum I need access to is not listed.

I really need to get back into that forum, can you please help or something. I have even tried the "Forgot my password" trick, but no luck with that.

Hi macdowin

This sounds like you have more then one Global Account. If you goto www.proboards.com/ and log in, you will see a list of forums that are linked to that account, if none show up, then you have more than one Global Account. You will have to log out of that one, then log in to the other account.

Some more information in this help post. Understanding the v5 Global Account System

Hi,

I just wanted to post an confirm that you do appear to have an account on the forum in question but it is under a different email. You have another global account under this email.
