Hi all.  First, never let an old man near 'settings' of any website software as he (well--me!) will screw it up.

I was trying to change something in my long-time D.Rider account when, next morning trying to log in, I realized I had deleted my D.Rider account (associated with the exact same email as now) the night before.  (the email riderdedication@gmail.com).

So I immediately re-created it next morning---exactly the same as before, with same email.

But all my past +800 posts as 'D.Rider' were changed to "User 51694887".  Is there any way to bring those back all under my D.Rider?   You can look at everyone's responses to me, they are now listed as "User 51694887".  When i post now, it says I am a newbie, with no posting history.

I had quite a bit of followers, and, gosh, like I said, never let me near "Settings".   Ugh ;-(

Thank you for any help (if it is possible).

OK, I put your old account back but I was not able to copy your new comments back to the old account, sorry about that.

I will put your old account back to the way it was and will try to move the 8 comments u wrote on the new acct back to the original account.,   Please log out of your Seeking Alpha account after you read this.  I will send you a password reset for your original account..
