Nickname

When I logged in today I was asked for a nick name.
Why was that?
I have previously logged in as I have a login.
Trying to enter what has been displayed as the "nick name" before I got the message that it is already in use.
How do I get to use my old one?

Thanks, that sounds like it.
I had recently my account removed in order to process a subscription properly.
Lets wait and see if the nickname can be restored.0 Like -
Has anybody else had their account reset/removed and then re-created with the same email?
If yes, what happened to the nickname?

Maybe your previous account is not removed (at least, nickname/profile still visible). Usually, when account is removed --> there start be nickname like "FormerMember" (at least, currently).
But possible that was manual 'edit'-action for mail-address (under certain profile). Like if -- 'remove' mail-address for certain profile (your previous account). And with such situation -> under community was some situations when it goes be handled/fixed by F-Secure Staff (different view, but about one meanings). Probably.
Thanks!

Hi martink,
Yes, the nickname still exists but you can close that account as mentioned here. But in your case, since you are using your old nickname again, your account when you login will only show the old nickname and numbers.
Or let me know and I, as a moderator can help you to close the account. Do let me know if you would like me to close the new nickname account.
EDIT: Added information
