Have some members been deleted?
Earlier today I tried to sign on with one of my sock puppet names, Miss Grundy, and the board wouldn't recognize it. Then I tried to establish that as a new member and it told me the name was already taken. (Yes, you idiot! It's taken by me!) I gave up.
A little bit ago a long-time member e-mailed to ask me to check on his posting name. I did, and e-mailed it back to him. He responded that the board won't take it.
Has there been a housecleaning to remove little-used names?

Re: Have some members been deleted?
Thor did a bit of maintenance yesterday morning ... perhaps it hasn't quite settled yet? Did you try PMing that account to see if it won't go through? Did you misspell the username? Try a 'forgot password?' *shrugs* I have no other ideas. Sorry. You'll have to wait for Lesa ... I'm sure she has better suggestions than I have.

[Edit]
I just sent Miss Grundy a PM. I got no error message, so I'm taking that to mean it's still there.

Re:
Thanks, Joxcenia, but I was really trying to help our long-time poster to get back in.
With respect to me, I have about a half-dozen sock puppets and when I log out, then hit the log-in area, most of them are missing in the list it shows me.

Re: Have some members been deleted?
Okay. I hope your friend manages to figure it out. I don't have that kind of access, so Lesa will have to take look into it when she gets online.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Re:
Miss Grundy is still there. I just went to the account.
It needs to be typed as miss_grundy. I bet the space in the name is messing you up.

Re:
Truly, I wish you people would stop blaming me as your first go-to response every time I identify a concern. The space in the name was not messing me up.
All my socks have magically reappeared as of this morning. I'll ask my friend if he can now get in, now that it's too late for him to participate in our election results thread.
Thanks.

Re:
So it turned out that it was just the maintenance finishing up. I am glad you got your sock puppets back.

I'm sorry your friend was unable to participate in that thread last night, and hope he is able to log in now.
