I had two forum accounts, one was shared between our server owners so we could all make updates to our server's thread, and one was my personal account (this one). I merged this account with Curse first, then attempted to merge the other account (username Minecarts.com) with the same Curse account, but it seems to have vanished! I can't figure out a way to switch between forum accounts - they should both be merged under this Curse account, but logging in only gives me access to this one.
Any ideas how I can get access to my Minecarts.com forum account?
This thread will contain all of the currently known issues with Minecraftforum.net's migration to the new website. We'll be sure to keep this updated as much as possible.
Please use the replies to report any issues you've encountered that are not listed here.
Current Known Issues
Account
Most users cannot log in to old Minecraft forum accounts at this time.
Avatars have not been carried over from the old forum system.
Lost Password utility is not working for some users.
Users logged in using the password reset tool are having their password reset incorrectly (ref)
Some users are unable to upload new profile pictures. (ref)
Auto scaling of profile pictures does not work properly. (ref)
Profile picture is not displaying on the home page. (ref)
Forums
If the original post in a thread is deleted, a user who did not start the thread is credited with starting it under "Threads I Started" (ref)
YouTube links are not working properly in some cases.
Forum icons are not working properly.
[#10145] Search is not enabled on the forums at this time. (ref)
The "Promote to article" button is displaying for all usergroups. (ref)
Some users are unable to view their own posts. (ref)
Anchor and goto html tags are broken after the forum migration. (ref)
Videos
When viewing popular videos, when pressing a button such as "Sort by: Date added" then press go, it will sometimes take you back to the main forum page. (ref)
Users are taken back to the home page when filtering through their own videos. (ref)
Sorry for so many new posts, but found out something else. It appears that the devs have fixed the view your own videos, i can now view my own videos, and filters now work.
Also, I have a suggestion: Is it possible that the site devs could possibly add "Replies" to the video viewing page? I guess it would tell you the number of comments on that certain video, so you don't have to check the video for comments one at a time.
when trying to change passwords from something it was reset to, it says my password is incorrect even though I copied it perfectly from the email (copied and pasted it into the 'current password' box)

Multiple accounts being merged into a single Curse.com account is not supported. You'll need to create a second Curse.com account to merge the Minecarts.com account into.
Well it was a bit of a dance, but I was able to activate my account. I had to request a new password in order to even get into my old account, I guess something got screwed up in the transfer. If anyone else is still having trouble, definitely try that.
Kinda wished they fixed that issue BEFORE they did the mandatory change over, especially considering they had the new forums up for people to trial, beforehand. Oh well.
ok so I managed to login finally by doing a password reset but now it wont let me change my password in settings. says current password incorrect even though its the one i logged in with from the email. tried logging in and back out didn't help.
when trying to create a new curse account to link to I was told my username was already taken. I sort of doubt it, the only time it has ever been taken was on yahoo back in '99. Anyway, made some new account with a different name to link to, fine. But now I have to use that account to log in? FFS.
Never mind that I couldn't log in to my old minecraft account to link to a curse account in the first place until I reset my password. What a gigantic clusterfsck

When I reset my old password and logged in, it had me enter a new password immediately on the screen to merge to the Curse account. Did you get that same screen, or not?

Account merging worked fine during testing. This was unfortunately an unforeseen issue.
i honestly think this is worse, the login isn't a login, it's a conversion, a conversion which i did not want, i much preferred the old way of making a message to this, the only pro i can think of is video embedding, and that when i lean back and look at the lava at the bottom of the page it looks like it's moving, this update is worse than the universal union, tell me this is some sort of mean joke?
i probably wouldn't be so upset had i been emailed that my account would have to be assimilated into some stupid site I've never heard of, especially since there was nothing wrong with the old forums

The Report Post form now consists of a single text field. No category dropdown and no do/don't notify me choice.
Incidentally, while it took me about 10 tries before I could log in to my old account, my Avatar is still working fine. Can't put emotes in my signature though.

I don't know if this was in the previous forum but the simg tags don't resize until the page finishes loading, which can be a problem when waiting on ads or something else...
Unable to delete your post when its last. I remember you use to be able to do that.
We just made a change to this. Users can now 'soft-delete' their own posts. Moderators and admins will still be able to see them, but normal forum users will not.
My current account, was already merged with a Curse account. i don't have a curse account. So now i am onthis account. please supply me with information on this.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying someone has stolen your old Minecraft forum account?
I cannot seem to find a good way to bookmark a thread. Watch Topic seems to only show you a thread if there are new posts in it, not very useful for saving a topic for future use, unless it gets a new reply every time you navigate away from it. Posting in it doesn't work any more, and all in all the only choice seems to be write down the URL somewhere. And without forum searching, there is no easy way to recover old bookmarks.
Seems I cannot modify my OP at all without deleting everything in it. Does anyone know how to fix this, or what I can do to solve the problem. Whenever I click "Save Changes" while editing my OP, I get this message:
Sorry, but you have posted more media files than you are allowed to

Forum search should return as soon as migration is done. We're still rebuilding a lot of the older posts on the site under IPB (converted from the old forum system), so that's why some things aren't working as expected at the moment. There is a LOT of data to migrate over, and unfortunately this wasn't something we could do beforehand due to the need for the database to remain current.

or was this not this place to express an opinion?
nope didn't get that option
Could you please clarify what you mean by this? Are they not showing up under your profile, or somewhere else?
