I thought it might be a good thing to have a thread that we could self-update from our old usernames to their new ones. (if there are any changes)

from the old runt#69 on rupp's rafters
to the new Runt#1969 !💪

Great to see people coming over here, let's help make the new site a good home !

Peace !🕊️

Let’s see
Edit: looks like it remembered something I used years ago, but not what I was using at the moment. I’m alright with hogsbreath. Harkens back to a college trip to the panhandle

Yes . I did all that....the user name I want to use (the old one) is greyed out. I've tried the things you suggested but, nothing works. Frustrating
I’m guessing the name you want is being held for you. I hope you hear soon. (I did have to log out and back in sometimes to get the username area clickable so I could edit, but if it won’t let you change it to what you want, I would *hope* that means your “old” name is in reserve🤞In my case, my Rivals RR history was connected to this On3 account during migration, so I felt safe changing it back without the dash). Good luck!

Lost my previous avatar but found a decent one. Just changed my user name back to the original.

The ads, though...holy crap. Adblockers won't work. It's painful. They even threw up a Sam's Club ad while I was trying to update my profile in settings.

So, I'm Blue Bigfoot. It gives me the option to change username in settings. But when I go there it has Blue Bigfoot as my username, but only uses the anonymous name when I post.
Anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Moved out to Oregon this week and haven't had much time to focus on it.

So, did you simply come over to this site and log in, or did you create a new account here?
I created a new account because it wouldn't allow me to log in with the Rivals credentials.
You might need to file a ticket with support. I have a similar problem because I created another account. My old account is associated with this one. It's taken 9 days to get anything out of support but they finally told me they would merge my accounts, although it would take a couple of weeks. My situation might be different than yours. Good luck!

Edit: I found your old account. You probably need to check with support.

Ok, Thanks you. Honestly, I only want my old username and I'm golden. Hell, anything is better than anon165834309409435. Ha!

I gave up and moved on from trying to transfer my previous handle and posting history. Life’s too short to worry about old ‘likes’ and electronic tokens, but to each their own.

But I wouldn’t mind figuring out how to add an avatar without a subscription?
In the upper right, click on your "R", click preferences, and then profile. You can edit or add your avatar there.

I logged in to ON3, then went into my profile and changed my username to exactly match my Rupp Rafters username. Today I noticed my post history has been restored.

I had a very generic username on RR so I thought I would get something more unique for this board

Was able to get my name and history back. Took about a week and a few back and forth with support. They where very helpful.

I’m Colonel Angus.

I also used to be Colonel Angus.
Hey brother whats up. I haven't been on HOB for months now but I figured you might remember me i was on there for years. Im in the process of trying to restore my hold handle. I dont know why they added a bunch of numbers on the end of it. I doubt there is even more than one KYBOSS360 and definitely not thousands of them...lol. I miss yall crazy aholes over there and this new merger sucks 🍆.

They automatically gave me mine. Not that happy with the _rivals#####. Maybe there was already an Old_Red on On3.

I figured out how to edit my username but it has my old rivals name already in use. I am wondering if my old name is reserved for me? I'm going to wait a while to see if they change my name back for me by removing the "_rivals72394".
Well, it appears that Old_Red was taken (probably by me in a previous life) so now I am OldRed. I've been able to get part of my SUP contest working. I don't know what is broken so I may make a test version to see what works. It turns out that none of the underdogs for the bowl season last year are underdogs in the first games of the season so I don't know if my code can find underdogs but the dates are right,

Looks like I can read the Prediction Contest in the Football forums so we are good with that also. I probably still have work to do on the SUP Contest but some of it is functioning already.
