With this change over many people have been locked out of their old accounts, and are having to re-join.

I may have found a way round it, that may work for some.

If you know someone is locked out of their old account, then.....

First try and find their old accounts profile page. the URL should be

"community.foxsports.com/theirusername"

Some of these old profiles are in better shape than others (I have seen one that is just a profile picture). There should be a tab somewhere to add that person as a friend. Try and add them.

Now, presuming that they have certain alerts turned on they should get an email, telling them that someone has requested them as a friend, and a link - something like "foxsports.com/login". They should click that.

For me that bypassed the community log in (which seems to be causing all the trouble) and got me to this, my old account.

This may, or may not, work for everyone or even anyone. But I felt it was worthwhile to post it and try and cure a problem or two.
