AutoHotkey Community

Some time ago I've changed my e-mail address to an Outlook address, but I never got the re-activating message. If I click on the re-send button it says it sent the message, but I never get it. I've put ahkscript.org and autohotkey.com on the whitelist, also without success.

It depends on what happens with the posts I've done with my second account.

@peterbonge I can move them over to your main account and delete peterbonge2, is that okay?

Thank you for your help! Yes, that sounds perfect. Could you kindly rename "HonestWord1" to "HonestWord" and keep the gmail as it is? I really appreciate your assistance.

@HonestWord Done!

I don't know if I'm in the same boat (activation) or other related issue. I just reactivated my (ancient) account because I was looking for something, and it looks like all my (10k+) posts from back in the day are gone. I also can't send a PM to joedf, since I don't have enough activity to allow that feature. Is there anything that can be done to restore some of my old data?

Thanks!

@engunneer, welcome back!
Afaics, you never posted on this account which you created - like many of us - on the first days of the current forums (you might remember the temporary community split which was later reversed). A bit later (in January 2016 I think), the old forums (using a different software) were closed and archived. There are still accessible via search engines, our custom web search or by stepping through them manually. It's true, you had 9162 posts on these now archived forums, but these topics are all closed, as well as the accounts from back then. This is and was the same for all of us. We didn't transfer any content.

Joedf can probably promote you so that you send PMs immediately and don't need to wait for post approvals on the current forums, but if you are looking for something from the archives, I would recommend Google or our web search: https://www.autohotkey.com/search/?q=engunneer

Edit: I see you already have your moderator role back! Welcome back again.

Holy moly! I've havent seen your name, never thought I'd see it again. Glad to have you back! I've set your account to moderator as it was in the old forums, so you should be good to go now.
It's likely from the forum change, see history for info: https://www.autohotkey.com/foundation/history.html
Here's an example of your threads in the archived forums (with almost 10k posts): https://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/20183-engunneers-home-thread/

EDIT: @gregster was faster than me ahaha

I remember that there were forum changes and such, but had forgotten the details. Thanks for the explanation and helpful links @gregster and @joedf!

Sorry, I didn't express myself clearly. I want my inactive account with the username "PilgrimLyieu" and email "******@*******.****" activated.
