Important changes to your account

[Dobber]

The announcement on DobberHockey:
http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.ph...bber&Itemid=96

has huge implications for DobberBaseball as well.

Because we are moving to one login for all sites, we are using the bigger user database (hockey) as our main database. That means that the baseball users will be moved to that database. Baseball users fall into three categories:

1. Already have a DobberHockey account, and the username matches DobberBaseball
2. Already have a DobberHockey account and the username does not match DobberBaseball
3. Do not have a DobberHockey account.

For 1., there is no issue. Just login as you would for DobberHockey (because perhaps your password is different for each site - so use the DobberHockey one) and go about your business.

For 2., you will lose your Dobberbaseball username. If you would rather use that one, than the one you have on DobberHockey I'll take that on a case by case basis.

For 3., I am having some people manually add your DobberBaseball username to the DobberHockey database. Since I do not know your password, we will have to put your "username" in as your password. So login and password will be the same. You can then go into your account and change your password. I apologize for this.

If there are any problems, let me know here or email me at dobber at dobberhockey.com



Also, reminder - the site will be shut down from midnight ET until 1am tonight.

My usernames don't match so I would like to use my DobberBaseball username Clutch for both sites. If we change names on one or the other sites do we lose our points/karma?

Your post count will not be lost, as I've copied them and saved them so if something goes wrong I can manually add. The rep points on dobberbaseball, I'm not so sure. But I can manually credit everyone here for that. I've been very free with handing out Rep this month.

whoo hooo I think we survived

Don't count your chickens...
LOL

I think this will be a week-long process before we get everything fixed. Bit by bit, I just hope everyone hangs in there.

I'd like to keep my DB username for the DH site as well I'm gfhyde there

[Clutch]

Looks like we're working! WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!

[Dobber]

When the login issues are fixed for DobberBaseball (they still are not), then I will speak to all you guys about user names etc. Goal is that by next week everything is smooth sailing

i thought i was going crazy since it has been 2 days with no dobber message boards

[gfhyde]

Soooo I guess I'm not keeping my DB username (Hyde)? I mentioned it above. Seems I can't login as it and I only have this one/this sign. Old DB posts also show "iceshots" as their creator.

If I have to re-do the signature or something, that's fine. If my baseball account is in forum limbo or something just let me know.

[Dobber]

Hyde, this will be fixed, hang in there for a few days we'll get it sorted out.

Ok that's cool
