| Re: Legacy Account FAQ [read this before posting!] | uglybustard | 4/29/12 5:42 PM | hi there Brett. I received 2 legacy emails. The 2nd was a *final reminder* to claim my blog. It was sent to the email address that is the username for my blog. I created this blog only last year. However my blog account is much older, pre 2007. Howe |

| Re: Legacy Account FAQ [read this before posting!] | mismarble | 4/29/12 8:01 PM | I am having the same 'going in circles' issue as previous posters have mentioned. It doesn't recognize my username I have one blog and do not want to lose the blog. I have logged in since 2007, so it should be OK but I don't want to take the chance. |
| Re: Legacy Account FAQ [read this before posting!] | RockmanAU | 4/29/12 8:29 PM | What if I can no longer access the email address (old ISP) to retrieve password info?

| Re: Legacy Account FAQ [read this before posting!] | ugly bustard | 4/29/12 11:12 PM | My email address that received the 'Final Reminder' doesn't have any google usernames associated with it, nor is it recognised as a username itself. In this case, do you have any idea what generated the 'Final Reminder' email to me? |
| Re: Legacy Account FAQ [read this before posting!] | Tom Wood | 4/29/12 11:52 PM | It probably does have usernames associated with it. There is just no way to find out what they are now. |
