    HELP - I can’t retrieve my original Hexus Forum account

    Good afternoon Hexus - it has been 6 years since I last came onboard and for the life of me I cannot log into my account. My user name is Syd, and I can see all of my posts when I search for them, however, I cannot use the forgotten password link as it states that there is no record of my email address..

    Can anyone help as I would very much like to be able to use my original account.

    Many thanks in advance and hello again after all this time

    Hey David

    Nice to hear from one of the ‘old’ faces

    Thank you so much for coming back to me so quickly and yes that would be terrific if you could change my email.

    I’ll PM you with my email address (but it’s hardly new!! Had it for over 20 years lol)

    TBH I can’t even remember having a BT internet email address - although I must have done way back when..

    Very best regards

    Alex

    Indeed it is. Need a few more posts, or for g8ina to enable PMs on the temp one.

    It is indeed, though I've grown a 999 and stood down from the mods.

    Welcome back. It's always nice to see the old (now quite a bit older) crowd again.

    Vapouriser... our team will email you direct to your current email address (I have that) and sort it as I can see it's the (likely) same person now.

    a few more security details and we will arrange

    Re: HELP - I can’t retrieve my original Hexus Forum account

    Only just realised why on Earth I could not thank you guys - the button doesn't appear to appear on the mobile version of the site.
    Is that normal or is there a way to enable that functionality on your phone/tablet?
