GMC Forums What happened to my old account?

[Selva]

I deal with Game Maker in cycles. So I've been out of it for a while. The new forum looks nice BTW. Anyway, I have had to create an entirely new GMC account. My old log in was gone. No recognized e-mail. The link from GM:studio still finds an error page. (But that's a minor unrelated issue.) Has everyone had to sign up for new account? Should I be concerned about this? I've been with GMC for a fair number of years now so I am a bit concerned.

Any clues would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yes

This is a new forum host, and they can't import the same data over from the old one.

Hang on, what do you mean with this part?

Sometimes when you click the button from the GM:S it takes you to the Legacy version for some reason

I need my number of posts to be back at 4000; helps me sleep at night.

If at first you don't comment, then comment, comment again!

@Selva: The previous userbase data wasn't carried on because it had got more inactive members and bots than active ones. Since the forums were being created from scratch, it was decided to create a new userbase consisting of only the active members.

@Jordan Robinson: It might take them some time to fix. Might be fixed in the next update.

Not to mention repeated hacking of usernames and passwords.

I'm active in spurts. The change must have come when I was not working with Game Maker. Ah well.
