Hello, will Sparkfun ever change the forum login to be more rational, letting us log in with our email address and password or better yet using the same login as the main Sparkfun homepage?
Currently, we have to remember what our forum username is, rather than our account name (email), so when I try to log in to the forum once a year or less I can never remember my forum username. And there’s no way to say “I forgot my username!” in the login! Only if you forget your password! ;-(
Hi inferno.
That’s actually a really good suggestion and one I’ll pass on to our systems administrators. I’m not sure our software can do that but I’ll pass that on.
In the meantime a workaround might be to use the first part of your email address (everything before @) as your username. You could use your email address, but that will display on your posts and it’s probably not a good idea to have your personal email address available on a public forum unless you like getting spam.
If you ever do forget your username or password, shoot our customer service department an email (address is on the website) and they will have and admin help you get logged in.
