Mods, feel free to delete or merge, but I think things merit this. I know many were reluctant to follow Tom, et al, over here a few years back, but I joined On3 for football and McAndrew conversations at that time. It was easy.

Feel free to show us you’ll be following us here in the next month. Post and be seen. In the event you needed a username change, let us know who you are/were.

I reached out to Shannon Terry on Twitter last week and he left the door open down the road for porting over content from Rivals. I'll assume that won't ever happen, but even so I have questions about the mechanics of importing account info from RIvals to here that maybe someone has answers for already, maybe not.

Some Rivals posters say they created an account when this board first became a thing but now can't access it, whether b/c they forgot which email they signed up with or forgot their username, so what would be helpful is if someone posted easy directions to recover forgotten accounts. I'm not asking for myself--I managed just fine obviously, but On3 will get more people to make the jump here the easier and more clear they make it.

Another question is whether a RIvals account can be merged with the On3 account despite having one username there and a different username here, or is On3 simply going merge identical usernames. I mention because if it's the latter, there's a chance that user JohnDoe on Rivals isn't the same person as John Doe on On3, so it seems like posters would need to have some input into the account merger process. Any insight as to the plan for making this happen would be helpful.

Like you, I have an account on on3 that I have rarely used, but it has the same username, nittinsc and avatar. I logged in today and changed my user name to nittinsc2 through the user profile function. Hoping that will allow import from rivals of my HVI credentials and possible future historical posts. We'll see.

Hi railbirrd here, coming back over from The Wrestling Room on Happy Valley Insider/Rivals. I mostly lurk. Hopeful this will be a great discussion group about PSU wrestling with the merging of the 2.

One thing I have noticed is that even though I have my signature line included in my Preferences here, it does not attach to any of my posts here. Does anyone have a quick fix for that?

I think, like on Rivals, you can opt to hide all signature blocks (I do). Perhaps here it's hidden by default and you just need to toggle it on in preferences/settings. Are you seeing anyone else's signatures?

My memory, from the initial days of the move to On3, is that signatures were disabled on On3. I haven’t checked on that in some time, but I don’t think that has changed. It disappointed many of us that had used sigs for years on the old site, but there wasn’t anything we could do to change it, so we just got used to it.

Any idea who I can reach out to to get access to the account I created back in 2021. I thought I remember just signing in with my username but now it asks for an email. I have no idea what email I used when I created the account.

Testing again. Fatwoodchuck here. My name is changed in the settings but is light gray color and will not let me try to update it.

Do you have to pay for a subscription?
