Question

[red_sunflower]

I just found that I already had an account here using my lj's open ID, I didn't open it, I guess it was created when some friends backed their ljs, comments included, here. How do I access to this account so I can delete it?

If nobody can help who knows better, you could try to log in with your OpenID and according to this go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/accountstatus.bml and delete it. But be careful that you're logged in with your OpenID!

Or you could try to check getting_started or ask there. I only saw one OpenID account deleted on my list, that's speakr2customrs.livejournal.com. Can't delete it from 'My Circle'.

Ah! Thank you. I'm going to take a look at those links and if nothing comes out I'll have to ask there.

*points* Saw this today: -> http://getting-started.dreamwidth.org/27645.html

So you've got a brand new Dreamwidth account. Congratulations! :) What do you do with your old OpenID account?

As has already been mentioned, don't delete it. It can cause problems with any comments you've posted (either using that OpenID or comments brought in by the importer). The best thing to do is simply to put your DW name in your OpenID profile

Gah! I deleted it. I must find a way to undo that. Thanks for the head ups.

I have undeleted it and have put a link back here. :)

If I just knew how to 'defriend' deleted DW Accounts here....
Maybe banning could work.
I miss my 197 icons here *sigh*
