ACTION REQUIRED: Your forum user name

[Kim Groneman]

We will soon be connecting your Novell login to these forums. You need to
take action if:

1 - Your forum ID is different than your Novell login ID and
2 - Your email address tied to your forum ID is the same as your Novell login ID

If this is the situation for you, unless you take action you will not be
able to login to the forums once we make the change. Click on the
"Contact Us" link at the bottom of the forum pages. Let us know what your
forum ID is and what your Novell login ID is and we will change your forum
ID to match your Novell Login ID and you should not have any problems.

If:
1 - Your forum ID is different than your Novell login ID and
2 - Your email address tied to your forum ID is different than your Novell login ID

You will be able to login to the forums with your Novell login account but
it will not recognize your forum account AND you will no longer be able to
login with your old forum account. If this is the case, click on the
"Contact Us" link at the bottom of the forum pages, let us know what your
forum ID is and what your Novell login ID is and we will change your forum
ID to match your Novell Login ID and you should not have any problems.

NNTP access:

Generally, NNTP access will not be affected by this change, however, you
should keep the following in mind if you want to be recognized in both
interfaces. If your email address in your newsreader matches the email
address you set up in vBulletin you will be recognized on both sides as
the same user. If you prefer not to have your real email address in your
newsreader, you can use the following syntax for an email address in your
newsreader: use...@no-mx.forums.novell.com and your user will still be
recognized

Integrating the web interface to your Novell Login account is the last
step towards getting the vBulletin interface out of beta test stage and
making it our preferred interface to our forums. Thanks for your
patience.
