    It transpires that if somebody forgets their password and email address they registered with; - they can forget about continuing on with their former Account. How ridiculous is that???? Surely ye have to have ways and means of identification and associating someone with their Account. There's ample time and effort spent on telling people what they can and can't do on registering, and then it seems silly that if someone forgets their log-in details they can kiss Goodbye to their old profile/history/posts. Pure stupid.

    Seriously?! How can you blame the site for you forgetting details for both your Boards account and your email address?! How can anybody legislate for that? Take some responsibility for yourself if you really value your account that much.

    We only collect your email address upon registration so that is all we have to verify your account. Otherwise anyone could pretend to own any account.

    If you can think of the email(s) that you may have used, please email them to me on hello@boards.ie. Thanks.
