Title: Rad--how to become an *Ex Member*?

Just last night this member when from *active* to *Ex Member* status-- http://radified.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1198828528/0 --how exactly does that happen--I don't find a function for members to withdraw from the forum on their own--did you delete this member?

It's there, just not easy to find; go through this sequence of pages:

Profile > Modify > Confirm Password

Then on the screen that lets you modify your profile or change passwords, "Delete User" is an option at the bottom.

Even after you told me where to look, I was still looking for some *text* similar to all the other text on that page with a *check box* or something--but there is was plain as day and staring right at me--the *button* to the right of the button that says *Change Profile*! Talk about selective perception--nothing registered after the *Change Profile* button which is also on all the other pages as well--without the *Delete user* button!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction--I guess *zmdmw52* left our forum of his own accord!

no, i did not delete, but received email from him today:

Hi,

I accidentally deleted my Profile including User Name (zmdmw52) & now can't login/post on Radified Forums.

Is it possible to re-register me, with the same user name (zmdmw52)

Thanks,

Jay

[ltho i *have* deleted many others. ]

if the acct has ben deleted, then he should be able to re-reg with same user name.

I'm not sure how this forum software works, but I have found on other forums that once an email address has been used once, you are blocked from using it again--so he might not be able to re-register!

There is a function in the *Admin* area to *manually* register a user--maybe you could *re-instate* him using that function.

I just saw that he has been registered as the *newest* member--so he's back--but has lost his prior association with his previous posts!

Am back with same user name [('zmdmw52') & 'dude' as an added epithet]; and yes, the association with previous posts *has* been lost.
Searching for posts by 'zmdmw52' doesn't help to bring out the older posts...may have something to do with upgradation of the forums to a new version...

But it's good to see many of the 'old hands' still around.

Well, I for one am glad to see our "Radioactive" friend back again.

Welcome, ZMDMW52!
