Delete my account

[avant-guvnor]

Can someone please delete my forum account?

... or merge this account with my other account (mville) and then delete this account?

I'll report it to the moderators as they'll be the only chance of merging your posts to one account name, if it is possible at all

[polonus]

I have done likewise,

P.S. Maybe to achieve this this thread should go

Why has my request not ben implemented i.e. merge my 2 accounts, including my posts?

The webboard software doesn't allow to merge two two accounts.

Seems like it's done, I only see one account.

It can be done, but not with this webboard software.
It has to be done manually.

Basically it is not hard to do.
Access the (my)sql database.
Search/Replace "old username" with "new username"

Code: [Select]

update [table_name] set [field_name] = replace([field_name],'[string_to_find]','[string_to_replace]');Delete "old username" from the members list.

Code: [Select]

DELETE [LOW_PRIORITY] [QUICK] [IGNORE] FROM tbl_name
[WHERE where_condition]
[ORDER BY ...]
[LIMIT row_count]
If I remember it correctly...

This really is painful.

I have avast antivirus software on my Windows 8.1 64-bit PC registered to my current email address (which I don't want to post on this forum). I also have an avast forum user login, registered to another, old, no longer used email address.

It is this old forum account that I am writing this message with because I cannot access the forum with my current avast antivirus software registerd details.

All I want, is this old forum user login merged with my avast antivirus software registration, so I don't have to administer 2 accounts and, so I can login to either my.avast.com OR forum.avast.com with the same account.

Why is this so difficult to do?

https://my.avast.com > add the new (current) email address > set it as primary > delete the old email address

https://my.avast.com > add the new (current) email address > set it as primary > delete the old email address

I can't add the new, current email address to my old user, OR add the old user email address to the new user.

Error message: This email is already in use.
