Importing account from other forum

Hi guys. I was wondering if it could be possible to import my account from forums.Opensuse.de, which now has merged with this new forum. I think there is some way since here i find friends like deltaflyer, gonzo, oldcpu and others. I performed a search here but no luck! Thanks for reading

Hi

You can register and log in under your old username if it has not been used by someone else. As to importing your post count, we all start from scratch. Your previous posts and all other posts have been imported and stored in the locked “archive” forum for reference. Does that answer your question?

Is it not possible to make the archive searchable via user name, a question really?

Yes, thank you. It was only to know if possible. Let’s start this new experience!

Not that I know of. Since we weren’t able to import users, all messages
that were imported were assigned to the user “guest”

Thanks kgroneman,

Though don’t you mean group guest? It’s just for example I know this is relatively rare but I thought it highlighted it. I also appreciate that no one likes unofficial modifications on forum software.

If we go here Install / Boot - openSUSE Forums you can clearly see though a search for oldcpu would not link that post to him, his user name is linked to his profile.

FeatherMonkey,

> Though don’t you mean group guest?

Yes, but the effect is the same. As you point out, the user oldcpu in the
archives isn’t linked to the user oldcpu that exists in this forum.
