But I mean in the Stud.io/Bricklink Designer Program Forum. Now I can see me
as a different person (Corvus_A) in threads where I participated days ago. Its
really weird

Ah, I see it now.  Changing your name on BL created a new account on the Studio
forum 🤔

Not sure if I can or if I should merge your accounts there: that would (maybe)
solve the problem for you but not for other users / future changes.
Moving to Technical Issues, and I will try to talk to someone directly tomorrow….

That's it. I changed the BL username and then the Stud.io/BDP forum account
was created again without all my previous data. I guess that the system resets
the forum account if detects that someone changes the BL username.
I have added all the info again, so its not neccesary to merge it, thanks anyway.
The only doubt I have is if this could create some conflict in my submission
for the Series 4.

It’s rather “the forum creates a new account when someone changes the BL username.”

Well, anyway, it doesn’t appear I can merge account there, only delete them (and
we don’t want that ).
The problem there is that your old messages aren’t linked to the new account.

Can you act on your older messages? (Edit them for instance?)

Submissions and the Gallery should be linked to the BL account only.  So no problem
there.

It’s just that the Studio forum is another website (phpBB) and database, so there’s
‘hooks’ to change the forum’s database (create a user) when you create or change
a BL account but they don’t handle name changes correctly.

I see, then problem solved, Thanks.
