User name change?


Muffins782

Recommended Posts

Hi Admin

I just had to do a password reset and when I logged in under my usual user name, it wouldn?t work. It seems like a 2 has been added to the end. Now my messages are gone, but my posts under muffins78 are there, but I?m posting as muffins782 now. It?s very strange!!


Thanks :)

That's rather similar to what was reported here https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?12,1876276, even down to the fact that your muffins78 account still seems live: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/profile.php?32,1884.


I don't know the outcome of that case; I think the user may have simply opened a new account. But I'd be interested to know what happens if you logout, go to the login page, and try reporting a lost password for muffins78.

OK, understood now. I've just tried, unsuccessfully, to replicate the phenomenon, but end up with the same username with the automated procedure. I wouldn't call your case random, just so-far unexplained.


Is there any possibility that the address you gave was not the one registered with your muffins78 account? If that was the case the system wouldn't have immediately told you it was emailing you a new password. And there's an outside possibility -- I'm not familiar with the system -- that it might then have been forwarded to an admin for possible processing. That, anyway, is the the only reason I can think of for any human intervention that might have changed the username.

Thanks Ianr, much appreciated. I tried to use my work phone just now to log on, deliberately not using these details, but the normal muffins78. Like the first time, an instant email was generated with the username ?2? and a new password.


I think it?s a challenge for admin :) I appreciate you trying to help me.

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
