Hey dear forum administrator, what happened to my screen name?
It used to be PeterHK (and trunks is my username),
but now everything appears as trunks . . .

And my membership status . . . it used to be Senior Member with 4 stars, but now it appears as PS Member, followed by Sr. Member with only 1 star. I have always wanted to raise this question about the type of membership and number of stars thing - their significance and attached privileges (if any).

It all happened when I tried opening a forum message while logged on as PeterHK but the page showed that I was a Guest, and on attempts of re-login, got error messages - either username error or e-mail error (and I was very sure the e-mail that I typed in clearly could NOT possibly be an error). Hoping to sort out the problem I then clicked into the link that confirms my membership: https://www.pianostreet.com/amember/signup.php, only to be requested to fill in a form as if I needed to renew my membership. I followed the instructions and confirmed (renewed?) my membership.

I logged in successfully! But then things went different . . . different screen name, strange membership status and reduced number of stars. My previous posts appear intact, though.

What/Why is all this?
Am I alone here?

Although nills, I stil don't have all the stars I "deserve".  Are the people who still have them the people who havent registered for pianostreet yet?

His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more
