I used to write under Jynn773. I am trying to recover old account or old work. I just reposted Remember To Always, Always Say Please into my new account but the original writing exists somewhere on this site, I also wrote many chapters of a novel called Just Hold It Till Daybreak. Is there any way to recover the account or the writings. I was a member for many, many...

Greets,
It appears the account was last used in 2013 and closed some time after. It is no longer recoverable and for security reasons, username may not be re-used from closed accounts.
Sorry and best wishes,

Hello, folks; Top Hat Fiddle here. Is it possible to post to a writing.com blog (my blog, which I'll set up) via email? I'm going to be on the road with a Pomera shortly. Thanks!...THF

Thank you so very much!!! I have tried looking in the writing documents but couldn't find it. Will go back and have another look, but your explanation is great. Really appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time.
Currently at the top of the Please Review in and out is item #2349162, [Link To Item #2349162] . This is my item, a private storehouse for the background notes on multiple stories that no one can access but me. My issue is that I didn't post it and don't want it there. I assume that someone wanted to post their own item, mistyped a key or two, and didn'...

I was a paid member a while back, and I am trying to recover the account or find my stories. I know longer has access to the email address from that time, so I can't get a password reset. I tried looking through the archives for my stories but can't find any of them. Any suggestions?...

My user name was JYNN 773. It has been several years.
If it's not possible to automatically collect the data from the NanoList on a periodic basis, would it at least be possible to export the raw list data on demand so it's easier to collect manually? I can work with whatever format, but the way it is now, I can't even copy/paste because I have to collect the usernames one at a time.
A contest I wish to enter requires adding visuals to enhance the reader's overall experience.
I found specific visuals I liked, copied and pasted them into the piece, thought I was done, and closed the file. When I went to review my work, the visuals were not saved within the work.
How do I go about finding the correct visuals (i.e., the correct type of vi...
Hello
My English isn't very good, but I'd like to write this to find out how to get a refund for my membership. I thought I had canceled it, and this charge was unexpected. I'm worried because I need to pay bills. I'd appreciate knowing how I can proceed with a refund.
Thank you very much. I look forward to your response....
For some reason lately, when I open a forum post, my signature starts at the top of the post, instead of two "Enters" worth of spacing under it. Is this something new?

The "27 minutes ago" would be when the person last edited the forum post. Above the posts, you can "Switch to Un-Threaded View" and it will display them based on when they were originally posted.
Is there any chance there's a way to collect these running totals on a daily basis, say, at midnight each night? I'm working on an award for people who fall behind and then catch up, so I need data points, not just a running total. Hoping there's a way to automate it so we don't have to collect the data manually.
My other account (username invidiae) has an expired password and I am not receiving any password reset emails so I am guessing the email on that account is my old email. I was just charged for a Writing.com subscription and I cannot cancel it without getting into that account.
I'm trying to better understand views. I can see the number of writing.com members that have viewed an item. But there are many more views. Where do they come from? How would someone, not a member, see my work and view it? When I check the stats, as others have pointed out, most of them come from an unknown source. But some come from writers.com shop, goog...

There's currently a very large bot DDOS bot attack going on for about the last day or so. It's generating many thousands of fake concurrent users... I'd guess of the 25,000 at least 23k are just attacking the servers for no good reason. As has been discussed in this thread, setting restrictions to "Registered Users+" is one way to better ensure the views are coming from "hum...
I am confused by the word count that my item displays using the item tools. Specifically, for this item [Link To Item #2348448] The items word count, from the items settings shows 2,057 words. However, the word count I have from Microsoft Word (where the story was originally written) shows 1,893 words. This is a pretty significant difference. It ma...

I joined WDC back in 2002 or so. My current account says I joined in 2015. Is there any way to access an account from so long ago? It would have been the same user name and it's likely the email address would have been a yahoo.com one....

Thanks for that. I figured it would be impossible. I have really fond memories of WDC from back then. I'm glad to be back.

They look grey just because of the font colour, but they're all active. When you click on each one, you'll get the drop-down menu options.
The three genre ones are optional, but it's generally a good idea to fill in as many as you think are appropriate, as people use these keywords when searching for things to read....
