I have been logged out of my account, trying to sign in again using google account, of which I have 2, and keeps signing me in with the email address I don't use for here?

Well which Gmail account do you want to use?

On this site, we don't have usernames and passwords, we only really have email as the identity... so if you use multiple email addresses you'll get multiple accounts. Which one do you want to be your primary and associated with the @lmananimal account?

At the moment, the one associated to the account is the long name Gmail account, and the short name Gmail account is associated to @user67629

And if you want to use the long named one... just sign out, and sign in again.

I did try this but it was auto-signing @user67629 back in without the option to pick which gmail account I would like to use.

It seems to have fixed itself now. Thanks!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
