Name in Forums Different From Geocache Account

[+J10fly]

I recently set up a new account with a new name on geocache.com but for some reason i cannot login to the forums under that new name. It will only let me use the old login and password. Any idea how to fix it so when i post it has my current Geocache Name?

 

Thanks

Your probably going straight to http://forums.geocaching.com

 

Go to http://www.geocaching.com then click on forums, then click on the link at bottom of that page to get into the forums.

 

From my understanding, its this last step that actually creates the forum account. The forum's dont link back to the geocaching user database but have their own, and TPTB have disabled manually creating the forum accounts. This link is the "programming" that does that step.

 

You will have the same problem if you change your password.

Yeah, I keep going through Geocache.com first then clicking on their forums link. I wonder if there is a cookie or something doing it to me. I even log out of the forums and go back and try again.
