lol lost my fa account...

I never bothered updating my email address so I can never recover my account now. The old email address is just... gone. Bye bye old fa account! I never updated you anyway!

You could probably still get it back by writing directly to their accounts@ address. They'd ask you enough questions to be sure it was actually you, and you'd likely at least need to know what your old email address was.

Guess this manual service will be sloooow if lots of people have to use it ._.'

Probably, but they supposedly have extra staff manning the address for now. Hopefully, the wait won't be too long for people.  If anyone wants back on, it can't hurt to try.  For people who originally used a temp email, or who actually forgot what they used, they'll probably verify them by having them send a private note from another site, such as this one.

I'd hate to be the support people on FA right now.  They won't be getting much sleep for a while.

I also had serious problems with FurAff and more than once.Now I can't search.
Now I am minded not to even bother. I wish Tegerio would move his work to InkBun and not pull this Patreon Paytoview business.

Dragoneer knows me and would probably let me back in if I emailed him... but... I don't feel like fixing it kind of?

Well, it always helps to be in control of your content.

I have a list of every web site login I've ever made, dating back to the late 90's.  If I were to change my email, I'd update every account, regardless of whether I intend to use any of them again.

this new system is going to kill fa completly..
90% of al there big artists who had the same account for years ... including a lurker like me  used a e-mail that they lost years ago

Mine had a current email but still gave an error at first anyway. If did work eventually so I'm back on there now. Not sure how many users will be coming back even if it does work and FA holds together.

Oh well, already feared that would happen to some people x-x Not good.. :/
The old password database is not deleted (as according to them, there#s actually a check to prevent you from resetting password to the old one), so perhaps they will establish an email-change service with the old passwords in some days.

I had to scramble a bit since I didn't recall which address I used on there.

Thankfully you're on here so no big deal with FA really.

And here I was looking for a fresh source of no content. You've been extra quiet, so I've gotten concerned now and then.

Somewhat reasonable if belated response on FA's side. No disagreement on being horribly awkward though.

(1) Lost account after an apparently deliberate power cut for an hour. Attempts to reset username & password were thwarted by contradictory,complex & constantly changing instructions. I gave up and opened a new account. I COULD then access my old, but it was like somebody else's.

(2) Lost account again. Again the contradictory,complex & constantly changing commends. After a long fallow period just using the website as a visitor -and getting frustrated by people allowing access to their work only by registered users- I opened a new one again.

(3) Can't search anymore. The option is no longer offered. Were it not for wanting to read Tegerio. Now he wants to charge by Patreon. I don't know if I wish to.
