Forums are changing yet again. If your auction side email doesn't match your account email you better get it changed. See the banner up top.
Comments
I had 2 different passwords so someone couldn't use my computer to bid on something easily. My computer auto puts in my password for the forum. I have only one user name. All my email accounts are that same user name@ different.com
You know we lost a lot interesting people the last time you folks "fixed" stuff on the forum, I'm not sure I can figure out what to do this time.
So just in case Happy New Year, it has mostly been fun. Thanks for letting me play here for free.
1) I think a lot of the "lost" people are forum members who did not have an auction side account. Requiring an auction account was nothing new, it has been a requirement for at least five or six years. Some folks managed to skate on that though until the forum change.
2) You could always change your email address. Having an email that is also a username has also been a no no for at least five or six years. New forum names since that time could not be like that, although some from way back were/are like that.
3) Yes, let us not forget that. This is a forum provided to us to use for free, by a for profit company............
It sounds as if you are trying to change your email on the auction side. Don''t change your auction side credentials (unless you have a non-working email on your auction side.) We need you to change the email on the forums side to match what is on your auction side account.
If you need help, please reach out to me at forums@gunbroker.com.
Email me your email address on the auction side, and I can update it on your forums account. (Don't post your email here for privacy reasons.)
Thanks for the warning

Yep, I guess so. Especially if you do not reach out to the GB gurus for help, which has been offered above.
Yep... :roll:
There's over a week to do the simple task of making your email match on both accounts by changing the one on the forums. Some people act like it's an impossible task that only a 20 year old computer hacker can accomplish haha.
If you are locked out of your auction side account that probably means you don't use GB auctions so then GB probably doesn't care if you are on their forums or not, however, they are extending their hand to help you through the process. Send GB Marketing above a message and I'm sure she will get you taken care of.
i have to disagree that it's free ,if you where able to use the forums without having a buyer/sellers account then i would agree with your statement but every time you buy or sell something here the seller is paying GB which a VERY SMALL % goes to pay for the forums ,, you get rid of these forums and I would bet their sells would drop big time
I signed up in 2006 for the sole purpose of asking a few questions on the Ask the Experts forum, but decided to stick around. Most auction users probably don't even know these forums exist.
It is still free IMO. Sure you need an auction account, or supposed to have one anyway, but you are not required(as far as I know) to purchase anything off of GB.
I also disagree about shutting down the forums. I sure hope they do not shut them down, but if they did, the tally at the bottom of the gunbroker sheet would not change enough to hardly be noticeable.
That's because they're small undeveloped humans, and don't know any better. We are supposedly adults here........... :?:
Have you seen any actual evidence to suggest that might be true?
That there are adults here? Not a lot sometimes.
Yes I had no choice to change my auction side stuff because I no longer use/have any .netscape.com. So all my stuff is to a non user name email account that I hardly ever check. In case you anyone emails me, don't expect an swift reply.
Thanks to anyone, that help the system find me.
Again Happy New Year may it be peaceful and profitable for one and all.
Bingo! Some of those tecki idiots can never leave well enough alone. Simply making changes to justify their position is like politicians. :twisted:
We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:
As far as new and missing members, who needs them, anyway?
At least the "google bots" will be gone?
Everybody got out of town and could not get back in again. After a week they gave up and moved to Wichita Falls TX...??..
Time - and attendance - will tell.
