Actually, I just tried to login using "Punk>FAS>" and having my p-word e-mailed to me, and it says "user does not exist". But I see my name on the member list? So what gives? I seem to remember a board change sometime in the past year or so (wasn't there?) and I think maybe the ">" character was no longer valid in user names? Any help will be appreciated, thanks =)

Any help will be appreciated, thanks =)Hi Punk,Yes, it seems the new forum software is buggy and/or isn't supposed to allow ">" characters in usernames. When we switched to the new software, we used a database conversion script that copied over all the old accounts. So your old account survived the database migration, but the new software gacked on the name.I've renamed your old account Punk_FAS.old so you should at least be able to access it if you need to. I've also increased the post count on your new account by 39 to give credit for the posts on the old account, as well as set your new acount's creation date back to 5/29/04, the day your old acct. was registered.Hope this helps,
Hope this helps,
let me ask you something, how does it feel to be so god damned right all the time
