Evidently Nicknames is broken again or still broken

This is the message I get if I log out and try to log back in:

-----------------
Forums are migrating!

We're making improvements to the Adobe Forums, and as part of the process we're asking all our users to link their existing Adobe Forums account to an Adobe ID. It just takes a few simple steps. By linking your account, you will preserve your authoring history on all previously posted threads. Adobe Forums are still free, and the same privacy policy applies.

This is the Adobe ID I am talking about. My Adobe ID will not let me enter Cindy as my screen name which I already have been using for years.

I think basically it is telling me I am using it therefore I cannot have it. :)

My Adobe ID profile. That is what the forums are attempting to merge with which includes a screen name. That screen name shows up in the Dreamweaver forum.

Yes, you have the screen name of "Cindy" here at adobeforums.com.

Which profile are you asking about where it says it is already taken? If you are talking about Adobe.com that has no relationship to the forums here. These forums exist outside the Adobe network.

If you will look at my message you will see I have the screen name Cindy. But if I attempt to put it in my profile it will tell me the screen name is already taken. It has to be coming from some place else because I am the only one at Adobe forums with that screen name.

Cindy, there is someone with an Adobe ID who selected the screen name Cindy. It has nothing to do with the MM forums. Even if those forums didn't exist, the Adobe ID would, and there would be the same situation. I'm in the same situation. I'd like to use "JohnC" but it is already taken by someone else as part of their Adobe ID.

I seem to be able to log in now. I wonder what the problem was? I made no changes on my end, at all.

I signed up the first day to use my current account name and even ticked the item remember me.

well guess what It didn't remeber me It did remember the name I gave and when I type in password It let me in but. But once remember me was sit if you clicked a link from the email notification sent you were already signed in. Shaded of the last time around.

Not again. Can't they get anything right!!!

It appears the only way I can merge the forums on my account is to change my user name from Cindy to Cindy- since there is someone in the MM forums with the user name Cindy. The dash is better than it was when there was no option in my Adobe profile to change what was registered there but I still wish it could be left alone.

These forums don't have nicknames. Just your user name.

It looks like posting worked here. What forum are you trying to post in where it isn't working? And what sort of errro message are you getting?

Thanks!

John
