Hi. I have annoying problem which bothers me for long time and nobody from Comas has not been able to solve it yet.

I made my account here long time ago registered on my main email. Recently I came back but forgot my password. When I wanted to reset my password I got this error: There was an error processing the password reset.

So I was thinking login with my Google account because it uses also my main email. But I got new email: Welcome to Tom's Forum, like I would make another account - that's what local system thinks appareantly. But it's same account, when Im logged with Google I am logged on my original old account in same time - foukal. But now whenever I try to change password it says for change: This email is already in use.

Changing email adress also did nothing.

What I want is to get rid of my Google related account and be able to login with my name and password, not via Google.

I had long talk about this with Johnny5, but after asking for reset my password, I did not get reply. And I think, anyway, it wouldn't solve anything.

What should I do? I don't care about this account and I have no problem to start fresh, but my question is, if I delete my account, will it delete and free up my email adressed used in registration so as related email from google account, which. as I said, is same email?

If Johnny5 cannot fix the situation for you, then none of us can. I would contact him again. He is a busy person and you may simply have fallen through the cracks of his already impossible to remember list of things to do each day.

Currently, we have no mechanism for removing an account by the moderation team and I don't think that currently even the devs can do it. Johnny5 should be able to do whatever it is that CAN be done. Otherwise, you might need to create a new email account somewhere for the purpose of creating a new account here. There is no limit to the number of Google email addresses you can have, so that should not be an issue.

You can also setup any Google email address to forward incoming mail to your primary email...

As I said, there is currently no mechanism to do this. The unsubscribe feature, last I knew, was not functional since we migrated to a new login system for the forum. This is something they are currently working on addressing but I have not seen any evidence yet that there has been success in that regard. Jonny5 would know that as well.
