paltalk: can't use past username?

[-isee-]

I'm still trying to figure out why. I can't use my past user name on paltalk. It was Isee, its still basicy there but. I can't login with it, I went to login on the website and it said to e-mail this such and such e-mail address. I know they went to that they want you to have like 4 or more chractors in your name on there. I just find it unfair, I pretty much lost my friends list. I'm more likely going to e-mail paltalk or see what they say. Has anyone els had this happen to them?

btw: I'm currently, Isee4bro on paltalk now.

I lost my pal list when I uninstalled PalTalk and then installed its latest version. Because the old name "was already in use," I had to use a new name.

My error probably was not using the upgrade option (which I did not see) on the old version......and I don't think there is a way to reinstall the old version to get the pal list.

BTW, Isee, welcome back!:cheer2:

As long as you both weren't on the old version and trying to login, you should have been able to get back your logon. I have done it hundreds of times but I would bet there was something peculiar about your logon you are forgetting or you aren't using the right password.

When you upgrade or re-install Paltalk, you need to select "existing user" option.
You both probably selected "new user" option, in which case when you try to log-in with your old ID, you get the "was already in use" message.

Yeah, what he said!!!!! Go back kill logon and relogin as "old self"

Paltalk does not store your pal list on your computer - I access Paltalk from 5 different computers and I get my pal list on all of them from the instant I setup.

And yes you have to login in the first time as existing user for paltalk to associate a known user to the login. Otherwise, paltalk does a scan of it's database when you attempt new user status to see if that id is available.

kinda, old post to reply to but....
just was thinking i would.... do an final update on this item...

I am unable to use my user name Isee on paltalk due to them, not allowing 4 charator names. Only to allow have 5 charactor names and higher.
Not sure if they force this in paltalk 8.0 versions or what.

not much, that I can do but. I think overall it was unfair to past paltalk users. I have lost my buddy list due to the lost of my short screenname. Oh well on to my longer complete version of my sn.

I will now be known as: Isee4bro on paltalk.

I'm currently working on trying to make it back into the room on Wednesdays, if I remember right is went its open.
I'm open for any sn to add back to my list and info on the room.

Sincerely,

Isee aka Isee4bro

I doubt there is anything you can do about that as far as getting yoiur list back and wasn't aware they have made such a change.
