    Deleting an account

    Due to my illiteracy and numb fingering on the keyboard, I created an account mis-spelling my name ("Don Basiio".) I created a new account with accurate spelling.

    I'd like to delete the first, mispelt account. I can't see how to do it. Is this one of those places where you can't delete an account, so you can always be traced if you've just logged on to say something criminal/monumentally offensive?

    If I can't delete Don Basiio, please can somebody else, so I don't have a permanent reminder of my illiteracy?

    Thank you.

    I noticed just a moment ago that both of you had been active today. I will delete one account, but can correct your typo. If you PM me you can say which email address you prefer to use.

        Thanks, ff (and former modestc.)

        I was only accessing the now-deleted one to see how to delete the blighter.

          Ditto, I created this account (David_Underdown), and then realised that the account I had set up in the previous incarnation of these boards was also still active David Underdown, please delete the newer one.

            There are a few people who have started new accounts while their existing ones were still available. I haven't had time to contact them and ask if they have a preference as to which one is kept. As long as it has a still functioning email account, the old one will be fine. Will delete your new one. You can check the email details and update if necessary from your profile page, of course.

            Edit: Deleted the new one - the old one has the ac.uk domain name.

              Talking of deleting accounts, do you think I'm in danger of being removed from the Radio 4 Archers Messageboard?

              Perhaps not, but I couldn't resist making the point.

                What held you back, EA? I'm sure he would have joined the R3F Choral Evensong community - why not post a link?

                In fact, in fact, there is a Phil who has just joined us .... . Well done - your post obviously worked!

                  I've just replied to your post there, Alpensinfonie. I cannot understand why the Radio 3 boards have been closed, whilst those that are based around a radio soap opera remain open.

                  Perhaps others who are equally puzzled like to would add their tupenny worth to The Archers board? Who knows, we may even get a response from the faceless ones.
