A Case of Mistaken Identity

[WRMU740]

I let my GMRS license expire and came here with a new one.  The problem is that I can log in with my new callsign WRMU740 but as soon as I click over to the Forums section and attempt to log in, it prompts me for my user ID and password, which I provide, and then I'm in the forum with my OLD call sign of WQXP836.    How can I put WQXP836 to bed?   I've tried turning off all auto-fills, clearing the cache, driving a stake through its heart, shooting it with a silver bullet and dumping the coffin into running water;  nothing seems to help. 

Can a forum admin step in here?

Haven't tried, but does https://mygmrs.com/profile/edit do anything for you?

Send a message to Rich and he can fix it.

Did you try reporting your post and using the comment field to explain your issue?

I have had good results doing that. Simply being tagged might not attract his attention.

I only followed the advice to send Rich a message.   This is definitely worth a try; thanks.  Just did it.

Rich fixed me up and my new call sign is now active.   Thanks all.

Well, then learn from this post.  Posting here didn’t fix the problem. Messaging Rich did.

Go easy; he suffers from Newbieitis!

I sent a message almost 2 weeks ago with no reply so I decide to do a forum search which returned this thread.  So when you replied on 7/30 and said:

”Did you try reporting your post and using the comment field to explain your issue?  I have had good results doing that. Simply being tagged might not attract his attention.”

and the OP did that with success, I followed suit by making a post and reporting it.
 

So how is that not learning from this post?

Good job!  I didn’t realize you reported it as well. I’m sorry for assuming.
