I had the same account on the pfsense forum for over 10 years
but lately when i try to login to the forum, i get an invalid account message,
had to create a new account because i could not login, what happen to my account?

Hi,,

You missed the mail ( coming in on the mail address you used with your former account - is it working / valid / exists ?) that announces a "new forum".
The result was that you missed this https://www.netgate.com/blog/introducing-the-netgate-forum.html

It is possible and advisable to retrieve your former account.

Contact support as suggested in the blog-post.

The most common reason this happened was because SMF let you have a different login name and display name. NodeBB only uses the login name. It's also fairly common for someone to forget which e-mail was associated with the account, or maybe they no longer have access to it.

Contacting support would be the best path forward, providing as much info as you can about your previous account, then someone can try to identify the issue.
