Default Okay, explain this.

Earlier today I rebooted my computer, so I had to sign in here again. I did so and after two posts, I notice my avatar was missing, my PMs were all gone, my post count was 2, etc. Then I realized I had mistakenly put a period after the Mr in my user name. I understood everything then, and re-signed in correctly.

What I don't understand is if I effectively created a new account, how come all I had to do was a simple sign in, and why did my password work?

What does it say under Join Date. Maybe you accidentally set up that "wrong named" account and forgot about it.

I think you already had a second account from a prior time when you may have signed up using a period. You never used this other account so it didn’t have any avatar or posts.

P.S. Yep. Just checked. There is a MrPeabody and a Mr.Peabody account that both exist.

Yeah, that must be what happened. I just don't remember doing it. I mean it's not like I could have been that PUI one day or anything like that.

It’s unlikely it was someone else if the same password was used.

Of course. Now the only mystery is that account shows a post count of 2 but a search of all posts only shows the one I made this morning.

Anyway, if a Moderator wants to close that account, I'm all for it.

Isn't having two user names against forum rules?

Now we know that this password likely unlocks all Peabody accounts.

Mr.Peabody joined in March 2018, so- clearly you've had this same brain fart before.

I think I might have this figured out. I was trying out a new Chromebook that the wife had bought me and I think I remember trying to sign in here on it. I quickly decided I didn't like it and my nephew needed it for school so I gave it to him. I can't be sure of the exact date, but I think it might have been around that time. At least I had the sense to log out of it. It was the middle of the day, so I was sober, but the whole episode was so brief and long ago I forgot about it.

Nope, just these two silly accounts here, one of which isn't used.

You thanked someone's post while using that account...Giving thanks counts as a post.

Done.
Note the account is closed, not deleted...So the possibility remains you could mistakenly log into it again in the future. If you do, you'll be greeted by a message noting the account's deactivated status, and won't be able to post, PM, or use thanks from it.
