  A while ago I got a WordPress account through Gravatar, which I already had an account with. A few days ago I decided to change my username, and strangely enough I received a welcome e-mail, today, mentioning a username I’ve never seen before.

  Has someone created an account with my e-mail address? I guess this shouldn’t be possible. Then where does the username, or even the e-mail come from?

  I certainly hope there’s no hacking or scamming going on here ;)

  I’m sorry, did you even read my post? My account’s working fine, it’s just that a few days after changing my username I got a welcome e-mail, mentioning a username that’s definitely not mine.
