820363 - [Personas] Could not find email for dotnetCarpenter.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: User management, task)

Description

[dotnetCarpenter]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0
Build ID: 20121128204232

Steps to reproduce:

Tried to log in to MDN via Personas


Actual results:

When I log in it seems to be working, but then I get transferred back to a page saying "We couldn't find an MDN profile for your Persona. If you're new here, you can pick an MDN username now and complete your registration."
I have previously successfully edited an article on MDN - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/forEach (June 2012)

If I enter my username in the "New MDN Members" section, I get "User with this Username already exists."

If I enter my username in the "Forgot your email?" section, I get " Could not find email for dotnetCarpenter. Please file a bug to restore your account." with a link to bugzilla.

It doesn't matter if try the above with small-case chars as username.

Could not find email for dotnetCarpenter. Please file a bug to restore your account. 


Expected results:

Should be able to login.

Would be nice if someone would care... I'd like to contribute but as is, I can't.

You should be able to log in now. Please reopen if you cannot.

Thanks John. Just tested on Firefox Mobile and it works.
Albeit I got the ticket change state email this night, two months after resolution date. Suggesting that either bugzilla has the biggest queued up email lag I've ever heard about or you are fiddling with the dates :)
Kidding aside, seriously thank you!
