I registered allready in 2001, but I didn't visit in the meantime this page. Trying today to login, I couldn't remeber the password, but I was shure, the name is ok.
I registered again and by searching my old nickname I found the old entry.
You can delete this old entry 'Flavus 181040', because I'll only use the new one in the future.

Thanks and a happy 42,
Southernman

Hi Southernman

Old accounts never get deleted because that researcher still exists in all the threads they took part in. Removing them would leave weird holes in conversations.

If you still want to access your old account - to leave a redirection message to your new account, for example - you could try logging in again remembering that the username might not be the same as your nickname and that both user names and passwords are case sensitive.

If that fails, email [email protected] and they'll do their best to help. They only work uk office hours.

Welcome back.
