Help with Login IDs?

[briar_pipe]

Ok, I've spent ~2 hours looking through Help and FAQ pages for this info, and no one's in the chatroom right now, so I guess this is my last stop. Help me, Fanlore geniuses - you're my only hope!

I originally started editing Fanlore using an OpenID account based on my LJ. But since I don't log into my LJ very often anymore, I went ahead and created a regular account. I assumed that after I did so, there would be a way to merge the two.

Silly me.

So now I have a user page and one set of watchlist/contribs under OpenID, and a second set under my new login. Does anyone have any idea how I get myself out of this mess? I would really rather keep the new login, if possible, especially since I've already contributed under it.

Thank you to anyone who has ideas!

Thank you! I will do that now.

...And, um, sorry for the mess. -_-;;;

Don't worry about it. We'll figure it out. I'm going to ask around to see what we should do for you. I'll be back to you in a few days.

So far the news is that we can't do anything to merge the two accounts. And we really don't delete accounts. I've got one other person to ask, but it's looking like there's not much to be done. And you can just keep using one of the accounts and the other one will just sit there.

I'll let you know if this changes.

I understand. The backend probably wasn't set up to deal with this, and it was my fault for not researching before I acted.

If it's okay, I'll put a pointer on the OpenID account to point to the regular one. That should cover most of my concerns about people wondering if I was two separate people.

Thank you so much for checking on this! I'm sorry to have dumped extra work on you.

Heh. No problem. This was easy.
