Please Fix smokin' gun's account!!!
 

Gordon, smokin' gun has been a member here for years and is an asset to this community. On 11-13-2013 someone else joined the site as SMOKIN GUN which differs only by the capitol letters and the missing apostrophe. sine then smokin' gun (Gordon's) account has been screwed up.

You can not pm him by clicking on his name, if you do click on his name it takes you to the wrong account SMOKIN GUN who is a different person all together. This needs to be fixed!! He as well as myself have contacted OSO on multiple occasions about this matter and nothing has been done.

He himself can not view his profile, friends, contacts or posts through his account. It always takes you to the other person. Please advise as to how this can be fixed!!!

Nothing gets fixed by the higher ups. I've been threatened etc nothing. Oh well

Discussing possible solutions with admin.

This is due to a software glitch. Regardless of the resolution, the handle Smokin' Gun is going to have issues if he keeps using it -- it's the apostrope that's the problem. It happens from time to time and can't be fixed.

He has used this name since 2007 I think. Why is there a problem now?

It's the introduction of the new handle that caused the problem.

Before you ask: deleting the new handle does not fix it. The only way to fix is to remove the apostrophe from Smokin'.

And that will seperate the two accounts and all will be fixed even though the only difference in the names will then be the fact that one is all caps and one is not?

No. VB does not see caps, and two names cannot be the same obviously. One of them has to change.

So then the person that just started the account a few months ago should be made to change.

IBobi won't be able to answer.

I just joined with the user name IBobi" and the original IBobi account is dead in the water now. Please send me $2 to my PayPal account or you shall suffer the same fate.

Not how it works, guys ;)
