Closing LeFora Account loophole?
I have a question.
If I close my LeFora account, will I be able to sign up again with a new username?
I know this link says I can't change my username unless I sign up with a NEW email address, but I thought I might have found a loophole through closing my account, then re-signing up under the same email address.
I know it's silly, but I'd love to change my username!
Thanks!
Couldn't you just set up a new email addy and re-apply from there? Surely that'd be easier, no..?
No, I'll be depending heavily on email notifications from lefora so I need my main email account connected. Naturally that's what I used to sign up, so you can see how I'm stuck.
Ugh. I just noticed I posted this question in the CSS forum by mistake! Sorry! ![]()
OK, fair enough... ;-D
I just set up an extra email address so that all my forum stuff goes there, and private mail goes to my other one. I know it's a pain, but is there no way you could manage one personal and one forum-related...?
Tbh, I find it quite handy keeping the two separate since I started doing it that way...
lol. I have too many email addresses already, it's hard to keep track!
But no, I selected the email address I wanted affiliated with lefora for a reason. Unfortunately I didn't realize that usernames would appear only in lowercase, or I would have been just as careful when selecting my username.
I'm hoping this "loophole" will be the answer I'm looking for: closing my account, then signing up again using the same email address, different username.
If it doesn't work, then I use a gmail address that is set to forward all lefora emails to my main address.
Oh, Der.. lol. Thanks Jack, I should've thoughta that!

if you close your account, you cannot signup under the same email address.
If you're using gmail, you can sign up with multiple accounts on the same email address using a special + operator.
For example, if your email is yourname@gmail.com
You can use yourname+forum1@gmail.com and yourname+forum2@gmail.com to sign up, and both are valid email address which you can receive mail at (gmail is awesome)
