lin821 - Thanks for the link. It talked a lot about many people having this problem but seemed to leave most of them needing to be sorted by an administrator. I too ran into a dead end. Could I give you the email address I want used and you send me a temp pwd at that email address?

But FWIW, most account access issues, if not all, have to be sorted out by admin on FT. For future reference, if you shoot a PM or email directly to any of the IB people, you'll get the assistance you need.

Migrating from facebook connect to an FT account
Hi, I signed up with flyertalk using my facebook credentials (mostly due to laziness) but I now want to migrate to an FT account, because the FT mobile app doesn't support facebook (the mobile website does, but not the app) and also because I keep getting logged out.
But I want to retain my existing user name as well as my past posts. Even if I can't retain my current user name, I'd like my old posts associated with my new FT id. Is this possible?
thanks

Looks like my request was moved to this thread. As a followup note that everything in the FAQ talks about disconnecting an existing FT profile from a FB profile. Well, I don't have an FT user name/password, so if I go to my edit profile, it asks me for my 'existing password' which I have no idea about (because I don't have an FT password - and my FB password is not known to FT).
Advice is appreciated.

Looks like in FT my email is [email protected] but doing a 'forgot password' specifying that email doesn't produce any results (its not in my FB inbox, PM etc)
Advice is appreciated.

Thank you for your inquiry. Please follow the next steps to transition from Facebook Connect account to Regular account. Once you have a regular account, you will be able to sign on using a username and pw on the mobile app as well.
1.) Log in to FlyerTalk through FB Connect
2.) Send me (IBpark) a private message (not email) from that account, giving me an email address you want to use.
3.) I will unlink your account from Facebook, add the new email address, and will then change the password to a TEMPORARY PASSWORD
4.) I will send you a private message with the new temporary password. You will have to log out and log back in, and then change your password using MyFlyerTalk, Edit Email and Password.
Let me know if you have any questions.
