J.S.Bach missing in action

Postby Wolf » Thu Apr 18, 2019 6:29 pm

Just to let everyone know, and maybe someone has influence with the System Administrator, but Dave K., aka J.S.Bach,
has been unable to sign in after changing his ISP and email address. He has tried contacting the SysAdmin several times
over the course of many days, but has never received any reply or other type of contact.

J.S. Bach would like to rejoin active participation in MTJ, but cannot do so until the email address situation is resolved.
Any one who can render assistance or give advice on how to resolve this situation, would be most welcomed by him.

He's had company with this; I've had to change my user ID multiple times here due to my inability to change/update my password, especially after changing email or ISP accounts.
This is a very frustrating issue, and yeah ok maybe just my user error, but note I've retained my same "handle" over at NK since I started there.

Sometimes it can be easier to change everything. Get another email account. Use that for with your new user name and password. I have run into this problem on 2 motorcycle forums. PITA. yes but the easiest way to deal with it.

Just go get a gmail account and never worry about email storage or changing ISP's again. Keep it forever and for free.

If you're afraid of google spying on you, well, you can't avoid it at this point. Their trackers are everywhere.

Not anymore, Bill just re-activated my account. Thank you, Bill. I was having "withdrawal symptoms"!

Of course, Lee is no fool, he knows better than to change the moderator's email address and ISP and get locked out.

F.Y.I. Shyguy said,

"The email address on the J.S.Bach account is a Yahoo account, which shouldn't be tied to the ISP. It can be updated if need be.

I reset the account password to xxxxxxxx, all one word. Let me know if he can now access his account."

I let him know J.S. Bach is back online at MTJ.
