What's happened with the login / registration process for the forums?
I'm not a regular visitor, but I did set up a forum username a while ago to ask a question.
When I tried to log in recently, I was prompted to log in to my online o2 account (rather than log in with my forum username). I was then promted to create a username for the forum so I put in my old username but it wouldn't accept it - not because it was already taken (by me!!) but because it contained dots, which it said isn't allowed. I replaced the dots with dashes, so now I have a new forum username ian-i-am (rather than ian.i.iam).
Having checked some of my old posts, I see my old account still exists but with underscores (instead of dots).
So now I've got a new forum username ian-i-am, linked to my main o2 account.
And my old username, which was ian.i.iam is now ian_i_am but I have no way of accessing it.
To be honest, I'm not really bothered - but it does all seem rather messy!!!
