Why do I now have 2 profiles?

[Going Spare]

Having joined the forum in 2014, my post total had risen to over 2700.

When I attempted to post to the 'Two 3rd radius tracks' post, the post was held back for moderation.

It has now appeared and I see it purports to be my first post, having joined the forum in 2021.

How has this happened?

Interestingly, I see this post carries number 2770.

Probably just a glitch.....For info I also notice many first time poster posts are published with a post count of zero and not 1. The forum post count software routines do appear to be a tad unreliable.

I seem to remember all our post counts were nulled after one of the major forum updates long ago.

Who knows how the Hornby counting system works, keeping track of rewards points is just as bad, but that has monetary considerations so it should be exact.

As your account is tied to an email address, the only way to have more than one account is to register with different emails. Your existing login is valid across all brands and forums, although you have to login at each brand forum, which is an unnecessary pest.
