Ive got an old account from October 2000 U157298 but I cannot for the life of me remember the Username of anything.

I've got the e-mail from Mark Moxon welcoming me and telling me not to spit so the e-mail address I gave is the same one as now. How can I go about getting the username and password<?>

Tar, Tonto

Send an email to [email protected] and give them as many details as you can including the U number of the account you want to access.

I've reactivated it and everything, but when I log in to it now it takes me to my user space and won't let me do anything. There is no edit button smiley - sadface

You could be looking at a cached page or you aren't logged in properly. Press the My Space button and see where you end up. Empty the cache of your browser - but it could be that your ISP is caching pages.

Are you using webtv to access h2g2?

Nope, PC and 56k modem. I logged out of this account and logged into the other one twice. Went to my space and it had quite a long message telling me to write my own intro by clicking edit but there was no edit button on the page. It would let me add a journal entry but when I saved it it just disappeared smiley - erm

I've just tried it again. I've got 3 accounts. This one which is the one I use, a pre bbc one which I couldn't remember the password to when h2g2 re-launched and another one which I used to wind some-one up with smiley - winkeye

When I logged out just now and went into the last one of the above, everything was fine. Edit button and everything. But, I then logged out and went into the pre-bbc account and there is nothing I can do, no edit button or anything. smiley - weird
