    problem with my account

    My username is *greenbeans* and I am from Illinois. When I look at my profile it shows the account name greenbeans (no astericks) as someone in the UK. I can't access my saved message or favorites, it just displays info that a person with the username greenbeans, not *greenbeans* has posted. I assume there is some sort of mixup in the system due to similar usernames, but I'd really like to have access to my own account. Any advice?

    The issue is probably the asterisks. Pick a different character and I'll change it.

    Re: problem with my account

    The problem is due to the system not always recognizing symbols in names. The only way to fix the problem is for you to choose another user name. However, when I look at your profile in the about me section, it shows you are from Illinois, you have two children and that you've been a member since 12-20-2009. Is that correct or no?

    That is correct, but when you look at things I've posted they are not my posts.

    Well, since you couldn't pick, I picked for you.

    See if it's still a problem.

    Are you kidding me?! I was making a comment to further explain what my problem was. I COULD have chosen a name, I just wasn't sure if that is what was necessary because I had been given 2 responses and one didn't seem to understand my problem.

    And I have to say, I really don't appreciate your condescending attitude. How old are you, 15? Does it make you feel like you're "in control" to talk down to people like that?

    I don't see that Cavyspirit was "talking down to you". She was trying to solve your problem. She asked you clearly to pick another name but you didn't get back to her so she picked one for you. She fixed your problem, and explained it. I don't get why you think she's being so rude.

    Re: problem with my account

    I agree with Fresian. She's the Administrator, by the way, so she does automatically have the authority here. She's an adult and doesn't need to talk down to people to feel confident. Just calm down, it's ok. She's the whole reason why we have this forum. A little respect is only necessary.

    Tone can be interpreted many different ways, so try not to take it personally. Maybe she wasn't trying to hurt your feelings. I bet she wasn't. At least she helped you fix the problem.

    Re: problem with my account

    I am confused. Green Beans, you asked for help fixing a problem and Cavy Spirit helped you fix it. What else did you want her to do? I think it was very nice of her to take the time to fix your problem so quickly. I do not understand why you are upset?

    Sorry but I'm closing this so it doesn't turn into something it doesn't need to turn into.

    The name has been changed, thus the problem should now be fixed and Green Beans profile should show their own posts.

    Green Beans, if you are unhappy with the user name that was chosen for you, please pm me with the name you want (without symbols in it preferably) and I will see about changing it if it's not taken.
