SITE HELP?

Question

I got a new hardrive and now I can't remember old password and user name so have had to sign up anew. But am desperate to get my old posts back. Please help.

Answer

You can reset your password via email if you click on the "Forgot password?" link on the sign-in page. You can also just sign in using your email address (and of course you'll see the user ID once you've logged in). But If you don't have access to the email address you used originally AND you've forgotten your UID, I don't see how anyone could possibly figure out "who you were". And even if you can figure out the UID by searching/browsing old threads you're likely to have posted in, there'd be no way to verify you as that ID's "owner" if you can't send email/reply from that address. But in any event, your best bet is probably to email them directly at moderators@chowhound.com. If CH works like most forums, that will collectively alert everyone who might be able to help, which should get you a response more quickly than waiting for one of them to spot a public post on one of the forums.

Answer

Hi Fuffyfuffy, Please bear in mind that the new password has to meet these requirements: — Six characters minimum from at least 3 of the following categories: uppercase letter, lowercase letter, number, special character (0123456789!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_` {|}~) — No spaces Feel free to contact us at moderators@chowhound.com for any questions you may have—we're happy to help.
