    I have 2 different accounts I want to combine, BUT because the email I used on one account not allowing me.

    I had a web company I no longer us (User name infinitysdoor) uses my current email address ((email visible only to moderators and staff))

    I also have the account user name turkakbay. (With a different email forward)
    I either want to change the username infinitysdoor to turkakbay or switch the email account from infinitysdoor to turkakbay.

    Please help
    Thank you

    Hi! For this, I’d recommend changing the email address on the account you don’t want to something else. You can use a throw-away or personal address; this can just be temporary, then confirm the change.

    As soon as you’ve confirmed the email address for the old account, the address you want will be freed up so you can use it for the username you want to keep.

    Note you can also delete the old account if you are positive you won’t need to use that username again. I recommend doing this _after_ changing the email address, though, since it will have a 30 day hold before it’s permanently closed and the address removed.
