Is there anyone that knows how to change or who to contact if they forgot their wiki password?
The UserID/Password for all parts of the site are the same. Whatever works here, works there.

Unfortunately, not for me. My wiki username is different.
Apparently you missed the notification, all of (3 different sections (Wiki, Main Site, Forums)) were combined to use a single UserID database. Your Wiki ID is Chief_71. If you had a different one before I am not sure what happens to the ID but I assume the data will still be there. Just go to the Wiki and log in; any old ID (that isn't Chief_71) is invalid.

Well I gave that a try and all it tells me is that there is no user on file.

Chief, make sure you are spelling your Id correctly - including CAPS. The Wiki is sensitive to this sort of issue. I see a 'Chief71' in the user list (no underscore) 73 Mike

Mike, I am guessing that something happened when the master userID list was moved into the Wiki. I am guessing that his underscore disappeared in the Wiki. Is there anything you can do about that?

Nope, I have nothing to do with fixing IDs, Lou, although your assumption sounds perfectly plausible.

Chief my suggestion would be to set up a new account of 'Chief_71' (notice the underscore), then have Lindsay kill 'Chief71'. As I had mentioned some time ago, I had a very similar issue, and this is the way Lindsay and I resolved this issue.

Mike,

Since I last posted, I got some information that underscores are not supported in the Wiki as for log in. I cannot verify that, but this sounds reasonable; if that is the case the Chief71 is probably correct. :confused:

We'll need to remove the "_" from your username to get this to work properly.

Please contact me at webmaster [at] radioreference.com to get this fixed.

For the record I am Chief71 on the wiki because when I made the Wiki account it would not accept the underscore.

As Lindsay says, contact him via email so that the "_" can be removed from your ID here also. I just saw that he fixed one of the staff members that had the same problem.

Sounds good, I emailed Lindsay about 10 min ago.
