Hello,
I have been a member for over 10 years, my page is under U90594 but when I sign in (after about 4 years of forgetting i had the account) it takes me to a totally different page with a totally different username that is blank. I didn't have much in my original account, but darn it, I want to keep the little that I had (I wrote two essays, one about Transcendentalism, and the other about "Bleeding Kansas". Any help would be appreciated!

Those were the crucial 4 years though. The years in which the BBC added the mis-named Single Sign-On system (which required people to partially re-register for every service/sub-site instead of automatically getting access to all dna sub-sites). During those software changes it became impossible to "upgrade" old accounts which hadn't been used and thus hadn't progressed through the stages now thrown away.
