Lost user name and Password
Posted by: Anonymous User
Date: June 18, 2010 12:41PM

There is no way to get my old user name and password from your site.
This Username and password is only temporary and should be deleted from
your records.
Please send an email with my old user name and password to
"mail address" or by any other means you choose.
Please set up a way for people to get their userids and passwords
if they forget.

I do not understand.

What is Your old user name?
I only need that.
If You are "jps" - please confirm.

p.s. You can only get a new password to the mail that is in K-Meleon Forum records.
If You do not have that any more or used a fictive one You cannot receive an answer.

This policy was set by Dorian.

I do not remember the old user id or the password. Other sites will send you
an email if you have forgotten them. I, however, use the same email of
"mail address"
Please help me.

The mail for jps ihas been sent to the mail address You posted, the @ I'd deleted.

You can contact "sterndaler" at yahoo com (me) from the mail address You posted.
Just in case Your ISP rejected my mail as spam, as siria assumed.

A return-answer by me would usually always be white-listed if Your ISP/Mail used a gray-list scheme that blocked my first mail.

Anyway: I have resent mail with pwd.

Thank you Guenter for replying.
I don't want to be a pest but I still haven't received the email.
It's not in my spam mail and ESET Smart Security has not quarantined
it. So I am at a loss. Other mail is coming through.

Why not just change the Web Site to allow people to request their
User Id an PW be sent to their rmail address?

Absolutely no problem.


Ok, I will resend from sterntaler at htp minus tel point de

If You waunt get it, we have narrowed the fault to either Yahoo or Your place at bellsouth.net. My ISP will send me a error message. Pop is a hard protocol. It is supposed to succeed or result in an error message.

Mail sent & posted at: 12:50:35 PM, Sunday 20, June 2010 EDT or so.



p.s. That Your ISP or my Yahoo mail have a mail-sending-receiving-problems is no reason to change anything on Source Forge K-Meleon Forum Pages.

I will not try myself to change anything and I will not ask anyone so to waste his time.

Sorry you feel that this is a waste of your time.
I have been programming for 40 years and am on the MASM32 forum.
So I have some slight experinece with computers.
Guess I will have to forget using your forums as I can't
sign in.

Hi, may I just try to clear a misunderstanding?

This is what günter considers as a waste of time:

His comments to all your other text wasn't offputting in any respect. - I wish I had his patience.

Well, what is it then we are reading here - you obviously CAN sign in. Just not using your original username.
If that is enough reason for you to stop using this forum - so be it.

Cheers

Back again ...

Not of HIS obviously, but that of the people who would be able to do this, and from what I understand we all have a higher priority that they rather spend more spare time updating the browser.

And in all that time you've never noticed that automatic forum mails land just as often in Nirwana than private mails??

I am no programmer and volunteered to do the Forum jobs that cannot be automated.
So I see no waste here.

I declined to do anything else because the core of the problem is that we could not comunicate by mail from yahoo.com to bellsouth.net so I retried by htp-tel.de.

My experience is much less but sufficient to do the job. I have been moderator here for several years & have been through a manual PWD lost procedure several times.

It is past 03:08:04 PM, Sunday 20, June 2010 EDT and I have not received a failure report yet. AFAIK my ISP will retry 24 hours or more before i get notice whether Your ISP bellsouth.net answers.


You can shorten this step by sending me an alternative contact mail address to yahoo - it must come via the one that I know & that is known to the Forum to exclude interloping.

Or You can start another Forum ID.

sign in.

:s You see me a little confused.

But it is ok to me, if You give up easily.

Please confirm that I am allowed to delete BOTH You user IDs so that You or anyone can use them again. Your old ID has 22 posts and the current one slightly less.

What does this have to do with Forum usage? :O

Please don't, every kid can type a fake sender addy in outlook express accounts, then it only depends from the provider if he cares and blocks it or not, and am sure there are tons of web services out there to send mail with any sender you wish...

@siria, I understood the problem.

@Jack, no other way but to get You mail to work again or copy the message body of the last message (mentions Your wife) You send me into the message body as signature - if You use a web mail service or so.

No siria, that would not do. You must know who he is grinning smiley

But any that uses forum search on "jps" could find it. sad smiley

p.s. Jack send me a mail to which I answered, any sane mail protection should let my mail pass now.




Werde jetzt Jack$$ löschen, wie angewiesen. // I deleted as requested.

I also resend by hotmail. Hope it gets through. Since I found today that my ISP has tried to reach another user for 5! days before i was informed of the failure.

I can delete Your ID = "jps". I got mail from You at yahoo. Confirm by mail.

BTW. I send a mail by yahoo, by hotmail and my local ISP's POP mail.
I even send mail from one to the other to check whether they send mail.

You got to make sure You can get mail & be reached somewhere.

You can reuse the mail address now. No idea what is wrong. Can be that bellsouth.net is delaying or withholding it?

Nope - just tried again after your latest message and I get
Email address already in use by another.

Could it have something to do with SourceForge?
I have another User id/ PW there.

The old name is also still in the system / after being deleted sad smiley

No idea how long this is going to last.

If You do not want to wait?

1.) Create a new ID with a fictive mail like jpsdjsfl@yahoo.com.ru or any that is accepted.

2.) Next. Try to edit so that the ID will use Your real mail.


You only need the real mail for being contacted by the admins in case of an emergency.
Since I could not reach You - You can as well dispense with step 2.)

23.06.2010. I deleted jps the 21st. Forum says: jps is still in use. I checked.
So data are not updated. Your mail address is probably not usable either.
I have no idea when or how often the data bank will update.

It is a bug but this is IMHO not big enough to spent dev time.
If You think it is worth to open a bug You can open a new bug after You signed in with a new ID.

p.s. I posted how to create a new ID/account with another name/mail.
