    Do not change this user name. Your old one is still around. The problem is that you folks have different e-mail addresses for your 10C account than you do for your Message Pit accounts. You need to sync up the two addresses and then log in here with your Message Pit log in and you should see your 10C profile as well. Right now, all you with new user names logged in with your 10C account, and because the e-mail addresses didn't match an existing Message Pit account, your two accounts didn't get attached together.

    Yeah I'm having the same issue. I'm trying not to bust the 10c too much for it because I know they are working hard and going good things for us, but really... it's been days now and there's not even been any (that I've seen) communication at least saying "Don't worry about the account names for now, we'll get it taken care of".

    So to us, not being able to link the accounts is bad when it's probably just something that will be taken care of in time.

    The email thing may be the trick, as animal suggested. However, if they were different we can't go back and change them to be the same because the system won't let us change it to an existing email without the "This email is already registered error". So I can log on with my 2 accounts, the old logon with no posting rights, or my new logon with posting rights and all my 10c account stuff.

    this i believe is true.

    I have the same email for the old pit and pearljam goods and all i do is type in my username and password and I am able to use the same username I had in the pit

    All of this is true. I went to the old Pit and changed my way outdated e-mail address to match my 10C address, and now I can log into the new site with: (1) my 10C email and password, OR (2) my old Pit name and password. With either I can see my 10C info correctly.

    When logged in with my 10C email I get the lovely generic username to post with, and when logged in with my old Pit name I can use that, but I can't post with it, for some reason.
