Tried to get my older username...

...and somebody already swiped it. :(

I know there's a thread floating around here where everyone's been posting their old and new names, but I'm just too lazy to go searching for it right now. :p

I'm the old catwoman, now the new Cat Lover. At least I can finally get in and peruse the new forums. I've been very busy since they were updated.
 
Oh bummer!! Sorry that happened to you. I'm not sure how it did, though, since your name should have already shown as taken.
 
I bet the person who swiped it is you! Most likely when you tried to sign up with your old name, the system recognized that someone (you) were already registered with that name. If you haven't already, try to sign in with your old user name and password and when you get the error message, request a "new password". You should receive a new password via e-mail and be able to sign in again. When the system changed, everyone's passwords were reset, so we all had to go through this process to get our old names back. They have been having some problems with those e-mails with the new passwords making it to people's inboxes, but it's worth a try. :)
 
Waahaahaahaa...magic! I requested my password a million times and contacted the support email address twice. I think they must have so many people with this issue. Try this address: http://www.thecathenation.com/forum/member.php?u=105522. It is from the guy who fixed it for me. He asked to not reply to the email address he used, but rather to this link if I had issues. His name is Josh. Hope he doesn't mind me sharing! :)
 
Thanks Shana - I'll try that email address. I have tried a couple of the other support emails but nothing yet. When they first made the switch even their support email address was down so I tried the customer support at the cathe shopping space. They gave me another email address to try also.

I'll keep trying - only because I'm an anal person ! :eek: :p :eek: :D
