      @stephenw10 Yes, 2nd account (Voluisrv) may be just removed. I'll try did this by myself. And about the old account, which is original one (account name "Volui"), I tried all email addresses i have and no one didn't match. I'am really can't remember wich address I use many ears ago.

        Ok, I just removed one of my old account (Voluisrv), only the second one remains, the original one (Volui) and my current account from which I am writing now (Volui 0).

          @Volui-0 I can see email address on the other Volui account..

          Would still have access to this account, if I sent an email too it?

            @johnpoz Of course, you can try sending an email to this address, but I don't quite understand why you "may lose access to this account." English is not my native language, sorry. The thing is that not only do I not remember the name of the mailbox of that account, but I’m also not sure that I still have access to it at all. I changed Internet providers several years ago and I will definitely never have access to one of my old email addresses again. And if on my original account I used that old address, then there will simply be no way for me to receive an email from you or if I try to recover my password through the forum systems, even if I remember that old email address. One of my old emails to which I definitely no longer have access is volui@akado.ru. Perhaps I will remember some other mailboxes, but in any case, I only have access to email in the domain yandex.ru and @gmail.com. There is also an one address on gmail, but I gave it to my sister, so perhaps letters about resetting the password are now coming to her =)))). I tried to write which addresses I have access to, hiding part of the address with a β€œ*” mask, but the spam filter does not allow such messages.

              @Volui-0 that other account only has 5 posts on it - most likely we could just delete that one as well ;) I didn't see when the last post was on it.. When I get a chance I will take a closer look at the posts... Think you can change owner of them.. Only 5 that wouldn't be hard to do manually. Then could delete that account.

              I was just curious if I sent email to it, and you got it you could then delete the account on your own if you wanted, etc.

              edit:
              Just sent email, account is from 2010.. Shame to loose history of how long ago you created an account..

              edit2: got a kickback, email address no longer even valid.. Let me look if can just change owner of the posts.

              edit3: ok I moved ownership of the old post to this account.. But I can not actually delete accounts.. @stephenw10 would have to do that, he is admin.. Global mod can't delete accounts.

              Once he deletes it, you could rename this account to not have the 0 on it I would think.

                @johnpoz While I was writing you an answer, you already solved the question =). So I was right - the email from that old account has long been lost, then all that remains is to wait for @stephenw10's response regarding the deletion of the old account and then I will be able to edit my name on this entry. Thank you!

                  Or, if it’s not too late, is it possible to simply change the email address on my old account to the current one? Then I could continue to use the old account by deleting this one instead? In any case, let's see what the admin says...

                    Yes we can do that. I imagined you wanted to use the older account with the much earlier registration. Let me see....

                        @Volui do you want me to move your posts over to this account?

                          @Volui ok all your posts have been moved over to this account. We can delete that other 0 account now.

                          Only issue might have is anyone that used say @ to call out that 0 user will now be invalid.. But don't think that will be much of an issue. You only had like 17 posts total..

                                @Volui NP glad we could help - this is the first time this has ever been asked. At least since I have been a mod, which is wow the time flies.. I know it was quite some time ago, but don't recall exactly when.. hmmm when was that??
