Sal is banned...that was me from nine years ago with one introductory post

~Sal is me now with over 400 posts but when I click on the name it says: Invalid User specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

which I have tried to do twice but am thinking since I am in limbo that the webmaster may not be receiving my requests for help

I think somehow the two names are at odds with each other and yet merged.

It is definitely messing things up.

What should my next move be...

thanks
 
Probably has something to do with the invalid character in your name.

what invalid character? and also when I was here a year ago I had no problem at all...I think somehow when I requested a pass word it hooked the two names together and it confused the system

so, what should I do?
 
Stand by.
 
Log out and try it again. I will need to log off for a short time. If it doesn't work, post it here and I will try something else in a few hours.
 
No it didn't work yet...still the same issues

feel free to merge the names to the first if you need to...I'm not wild about having my name in cap locks

but I'm good with whatever works

I believe the problem is the "~" and it's connection to the other username. We had this issue once before, a long time ago. I am going to change your name to "Sal". Log out, then log in with that name. Use the same password. Let's see if that works.
 
well one step at a time, and we are getting there...

I am now in under Sal and the ~SAL has vanished

now my problem is Sal Invalid User specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator BUT on the positive side all posts and my avatar have been transferred to my Sal personage... lol

Stand by. I'm going to try something.
 
OK, I am going to close this thread and work on it with the other Admin. The problem is on the backend.
