lancsvet Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 How do you actually upgrade from the forums because if I try from the front page it prompts me to create a new username and password as the ones I'm attempting to put in are obviously already taken by myself put your current user name in and it will upgrade that Can't make it do that, it insists my user name is already taken and asks me to find another, I may be missing something obvious here but believe me I have tried everything, What I don't want to do is add a letter to the end of my current user name and then create a new account that I don't need.

lancsvet Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 It doesn't seem to have a problem with the password, just the username, I registered for the chatroom thingy with my usual details and that went through just fine How do you actually upgrade from the forums because if I try from the front page it prompts me to create a new username and password as the ones I'm attempting to put in are obviously already taken by myself Just use your name and put an underscore 2 behind it i.e lancsvet_2 then Andy can ignore this new account and using the name see who's account to upgrade and then upgrage the original lancsvet account. The 'new' account you created will them become obsolete. Thanks for that AtomAnt, seems to have gone through ok now, only other thing I had to do was use a different E-mail address for confirmation as the same trouble seemed to be happening with that just like the username.

Andy Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Username, password and email address all MUST match the ones you use on the forums or it won't work. Please don't create different accounts as it's a headache to try and match up and your forum account won't get upgraded. You can't upgrade via the "Paid Subscriptions" part of your forum control panel. That's for something completely different that I don't use.

jetset Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 An "upgrade" button would be very handy where you just have to put payment details in and the rest is done automatically. I know a few people who have tried and failed to upgrade so I guess there is a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
