Account Locked? Troubleshooting the bcrowell Account on Our Site

  • Thread starter bcrowell3
  • Start date
In summary, the user bcrowell had to create a new account to post a question as their original account was not working. They discovered that their original account was mistakenly put in the wrong usergroup, but the issue has since been fixed. They also received the SA medal for their contribution.

I normally use the bcrowell account, but had to create this one, bcrowell3, to post this question. I don't seem to be able to post under the bcrowell account. Is the bcrowell account locked for some reason? I haven't received any information by email or PM that would indicate that there was a reason for locking my account.

Hey Greg, maybe not totally fixed yet. His user name is in light font for some reason...

(Congrats on the SA medal, BTW bcrowell)
