A few days ago Techist was closed and merged with computerforums.org . The forum software was updated to a new platform; Xenforo Version 2
Lots of change!
The site looks different but most basic forum functions are the same although buttons and switches are located in some new places.
Login: You can login with either your username and password or your e-mail address and password
Merged accounts: Many folks had an account at both forums. Where possible (both accounts had the same e-mail address) these were merged into the existing Techist account. If you are unsure what your username is try logging in with your e-mail address.
Duplicate accounts after forum merge: There were some accounts where we were unable to determine matches. For instance - same username at both forums but unique e-mail addresses. We left both accounts in place. These accounts can be merged upon request but you will need to contact us either via a private message or by hitting the contact link at the bottom of the page to reach the Help Desk.
Lost password: If you have an account but need a password reset, please use the password reset options on the login screen.
Username change: We can do this for you as needed. Please request changes via the contact link at the bottom of the page.
Forum Re-org: Some old content has been archived to clean up stale sections of the board (it has been saved however). There are some updated topic areas and in many cases existing threads have been moved into these topic areas. Tidying up is underway so please be patient. You will see more changes in the coming weeks and if you have suggestions please post up.
