I was looking at this post:

dprevived.com/t/choosing-the-mm-for-a-hotshoe-mount-viewfinder/5185/post/66271/

The Poster shows as <deleted> - that was me a year ago. The image was uploaded by <xpatUSA> - also me a year ago.

Then I quit, about a year ago. Then I re-joined more recently as <TexasTed> but was quickly jumped on by our dear-departed Danno.

So, trying to be honest-Injun, I changed back to <xpatUSA>, not realizing such an unexpected consequence.

I think you have live with that :) Merging your old account with newer one is not possible in current software, replacing your old account link and name with 'deleted' in attachment thumbnails also would need some manual database work, which may (or may not :)) have unintended consequences.

Thank you for the advice, Arvo. Probably best to leave it alone for now.
