Hi Bruce W. 

I was an active poster/commenter/kudo-er in the old xfinty forums. Since maybe 2016 or whenever xfinty mobile was first launched. 

Now there's this new forum thing and it gave me a new user name, and states that I have only been a member since 2023 (ha!) and that I have no posts, etc. Did everyone have to start over or did I do something wrong?

... Did everyone have to start over ...

I had no part in the transition, so I don't know how it was "supposed" to work. I retained my ID and join date, but lost all my macros. Essentailly all the account prefs were different and needed to be updated, and there were a lot of bugs (a painful number of which remain). 

In the old forum I'd suggest you send a message to the administrator asking them to correct your profile, but they've become very touchy about unsolicited private/direct messages. Maybe admin @XfinityJessie will see this and grant you a dispensation.

What sort of bugs remain? Here's one I've had to put up with since Day One:
