Hello everyone!
Aether already offered his help on IRC and forwarded my details. I was really tired when Aether gathered the information on IRC yesterday, so I doubt the information was sufficient. Thus, this thread to make sure FLS has all information. I also hope others can add to this and eventually provide assistance or suggestions.
(This message is being written from an alternative account, just to make sure nobody gets confused ...)
I have been in Closed Beta, linked the forum account I want to use to a SOE account, unlinked it a couple of days before Open Beta ended to link it with a new account. This was done to ensure I'd be able to sign up with the Station Access pass with all my SOE games.
Anyway, I pre-ordered PotBS through SOE Station store under the accountname TheeNailros (My password is safe, so I don't mind posting the accountname. I'll remove the account name once this has been dealt with though). This account was linked with my forum nickname "Thee" for Open Beta. Everything worked just fine until yesterday after my account got activated for Pre-Boarding access. Although the game works fine, the forum doesn't. Basically, I can't get a forum name. When I login the site says at the top "Logged in as | Log out". Looks like ... I don't have a forum name. Nothing to worry, I can just get one, right? I try to do that by hitting the "register" link on the forums. That takes me to Burningsea.com, or rather a subsite saying the following:
The Station Account you're logged in with is already linked to a forums account. Click here to log out and then return to this page to link to a different Station Account.
Link: http://www.burningsea.com/page/migration/create
*scratches head* Needless to say, I tried deleting cookies. I also used Opera (several versions), IE 7.0, IE 6.0, Firefox 2 (some version... latest one), Firefox 3 Beta 2 and Flock on two PCs on two different internet connections. (Broadband and mobile broadband...)
Basically, I am logged in on the "mainsite", but the forum always says "Click here to Log In" on the upper right part. When I try to post or whatever action, I always get the typical vB "vBulletin Message
You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons"
I also tried to file a Support ticket, but I get transported back to Burningsea.com when I "report an issue" (I think that's what the support site says to file a ticket, right?)
So, basically I'd like to use my station account to create a new forum persona, or simply use "Thee" as a forum nickname. Both would be just fine for me.
Yes, it's sad that something like that matters that much, but I am a huge forum *****, so not being able to post on a game's forum on release day and the day after is hell for me. I really hope this can be sorted soon.
Thanks for reading this! ;-)
