  HELP! I tried to login to my account and it created a new account for me. My page is pamellajanedesigns.wordpress.com … I logged into my account with the login information I wrote down and it started a new wordpress site and made me sign up for gravatar. How do I get to my original account and update the one I created along time ago. This is the strangest thing.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Same for me, it seems they have shut down the original account system. I wanted to delete my account or at least delete the photos, but no chance.

  I just found out a trick how to get your old account data back.
  1) Login to your wordpress account.
  2) Change the email address to the address you used with old gravatar.
  3) After confirming the address, relogin or reload the page.

  After I did that I saw my old profile and could make the changes I wanted. I guess this is a bug but it works.

  Problem is I used the same email address.

  That’s a problem. I didn’t think that this is possible. So the bug is even worse. Sorry, I cannot help you with that.
