I know what an ACE is being than Im one myself!
Where have my details, badge and personal space gone to?

Oh! I'm sorry about that! I don't know where your details have gone. It says that your page was created yesterday. Are you sure you haven't created a new user id by mistake?! I know that sounds stupid, but your U number is new and everything. Hope it gets sorted out ok. Sorry again for aceing you!!

Alison

Well thanks for all your help anyway. This is a new name, I can access my old name but I cant click on the validation link as I dont have a PC.
I will just have to use this name and start from scratch!

Thanks again,

Anarane

Ah that's a real shame. Ah well, I don't suppose it really matters all that much. You can practise your GuideML by writing your personal space all over again! Joy!

Alison

When I finally get access to a PC I can finally put things right! Untill then I think I will do a spot of GuideML, I need the practice as I haven't used it in a good 2 months+, been too busy over at the BBCi message boards

If you have forgoten your Password you can email - h2g2(dot)support(at)bbc(dot)co(dot)uk and they can sort that for you.

If either of you are asked a question you don't know or are not sure of the answer to, please either ask on Aces Home Page, or email aceforum.
