Editor Reinstatement

[wesleyh]

I was an ODP editor a couple of years ago. My account expired due to inactivity.

 

However, I'd like to reinstate my editor account. However, when I apply through the Editor Reinstatement form, the system rejects my application with the following error message:

 

"User does not exist, or username/password is incorrect."

 

So I also tried the "password reset" form, but the system does NOT send me any email to reset my password.

 

My old editor username was "wesleyh", and my old email address is still the same.

 

Can someone please help me?

The email you used to register here is not the one on your editor account. You changed it to a different one some time. That's probably why you aren't getting the PW reminder now.

 

I could reset your editor account's email but this is a security matter and I need more proof of ID before I do.

 

Please contact me via http://www.dmoz.org/public/sendemail?editor=jimnoble (Don't use any other method) with as much corroborative information as you can such as:-

 

Approximate date joined

Editor name (but not password)

Real Name

Original email address

Joining category

Additional categories gained

Roughly how many edits done

Approximate date of leaving and the circumstances

 

Convince me that you are who you say you are and I can reset your email address of record to one that works today. This will make it possible for you to request a password reminder and complete a reinstatement request form.

Thanks for the info. You have mail.

I have sent you the same information as well.

 

Thank you.

Jim:

 

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I was able to complete the reinstatement process. Though, I didn't fill it out fully as I did the first time because I didn't think it was going to work again. Oh, well. Hopefully it's enough. LOL

 

 

Thanks again.

I'm not getting any emails from DMOZ at all. I checked spam settings and have tried many times to have it resent but nothing.

To further elaborate on this, when I try to login I get the "Welcome to DMOZ 2.0... blah blah blah." Further it says I need to update my password and it emailed a link to me to be able to do this but I do not get any email. I have tried it many times and even clicked on the link saying to resend it.

Nope. Must have logged when I last attempted.

Just to mark this resolved as melodyt has managed to edit since.
