They are two independent systems, but the site system is supposed to override the forum system as far as all of that is concerned.
I can’t use my old username and now I’m stuck with an auto generated one. It won’t let me change it.
Oh yes. One of the changes that will happen is to revert back those cases where a random 6 letter/digit sequence was added to usernames.
It seems I have lost my old account and/or screwed up during the new log in.
Do you have access to your old email that was associated with your previous account? That is the email you need to login with, or do the Account Recovery step:
If that isn’t possible, I will be able to merge the accounts eventually. I just need to work on a utility that handles that.
Prior to the update I updated my email to my new one and was still logging in under my old username with it.
When I logged in after the update I couldn’t recover my old one and had to go through a rigmarole to get in and was assigned a new user name and profile.
Looking back at it. I believe you could have gone straight to login using the email and it would have worked.
I will have a merge tool soon so I can get you back on your old account and everything will be merged together.
So I have written a utility that will hopefully handle everything I need now. It will allow me to select the old user and the new user and select the preferred username and email out of the two. Merge them together while retaining all posts, props, comments, PMs and join date.. etc.
@hairy-biker soon to be @hairy-biker You will be my first guinea pig for the merging tool.

@hairy-biker success!
You should be good now?
Yeah this is going to take some getting used to. My old accounts back but the new name I want to use isn’t changing even though the support said it should be working. Thanks for the help AJ appreciate it.
I logged you out, I believe it may re-sync and change the username after that.
Apologies if this has been reported already but it looks like the link to the SD Card Files for the Amplified Light and Sound Board no longer works.
I got an email yesterday about saved payment methods being removed from the old site, and needing to set up a new one so that my partially complete order will be able to finish, but when I follow the link to my profile and saved payment methods, there’s no button/link to add a new one there.
If you have a supporting membership, you should definitely have a button to add one.
I’m not sure if it is the same payment method for the shop orders as well. I am getting clarification on that now.
I do see a button today. Was wrestling with it saying the card added was expired for a bit, but now I’ve hit a “too many attempts” error, so I’ll check back in a bit.
I’m trying to determine under what circumstances the site might say there were too many attempts. That being said, the button / payment method issue should be behind us shortly. I had to make it clearer that you could have a payment method that applies to supporting memberships and alternatively a different one that applies to orders (or they could be the same).
Is it okay to buy from the shop right now or should we hold off until there’s a green light from you, @aj-quick?
I bought from the shop and it all worked perfectly.

Yeah the shop has been mostly functional.
