I had a post using the name Eagleizer, When I followed a link in my email to reply to an answer, I was forced to choose a new username. Why? It looks confusing since my reply have a different name then my original post 😛 Any way I can fix this?

Thanks!Guess this was moved to the right place. No help or explanation to what happened though. 😛I might try that email.Cheers 🙂

Well, there seems to be no way I can log in with my Gmail account, since assoon as I click login, MS login rolls automatically. The reply from Allan was onlycorrect (probably) in that it was because I was logged in with MS. I cannot findany way to log in with Google, so my problem is not solved in any way. Theproblem with MS doing this in this "inconvenient" way is also not solved in any way. Marking his answer as solution would be a far stretch IMHO. (Not trying to be rude) Then there is also the missing option to actually mark his post as solution. Cheers 🙂

Hi Eagleizer2030, you are welcome to the Microsoft Tech Community.This issue seems to be related to the Microsoft Tech Community website and not to Microsoft Edge. So I would recommend you to post this discussion in the Community Lounge of the Microsoft Tech Community as that space has been made for discussion like this and there is a more probability of you getting a reply there. Furthermore, you can e-mail the Microsoft Tech Community team about this issue by e-mailing them at mailto:TechCommunity@microsoft.com

Eagleizer2030 Sorry your post got redirected but this is definitely the correct place for it. Your original account is using a Gmail email address and this one your posting form now is using a Hotmail address. So I would hazard a guess when you clicked your link your browser was logged in to a Hotmail account, which is a different account to your Gmail account, and as such a new user for the Microsoft Tech Community. The only solution for this would be to either log out of the other account in your browser before clicking the links or opening the link in an in-private browsing session.

Thanks! I support your logic. I'm confident that's what happened.It make no sense that this is not made clear to the user. I have had sameproblem with putting money in wrong Skype account since there is nowarning of it. Even support was not able to explain what happened, butafter 3 times I connected the dots and have been able to avoid this myself...Still, support lives in the dark, and the customers wastes time and money. 😛
