Good thing I logged out before I did something drastic.

You need to logg out of the forums and then logg back in!!

If you don`t logg out you will not have yoiur old name and you will not have any post count!!

Also I thought making new names was not allowed...hnnnn

what just happened?

 

[NiteWulf]

Log out, clear your cookies and cache, turn off your saved password, and don't answer the secret question (duh). Go back to forums.anandtech.com and you should be able to log in as yourself.

Oh, and if you did answer the secret question, change your password!
