Too many usernames for one email address

I have too many usernames for my one email address.

 

The skype community would not accept my initial user name, so I used another.

Is there any way that I can amalgamate my user names to just one?

Re: Too many usernames for one email address

No, there's no way to amalgamate Skype names.   All you can do is stop using any name you no longer need.

Thanks for that, although that is a shame.

Re: Too many usernames for one email address

This is what happens:
When I log on to Support Network I can only log on as johnbrennanlive. Support Network does not allow me to log on a johnbrennanlive1948.

When I log on to my account, it does not accept johnbrennanlive and only accepts johnbrennan1948.

If I delete my email details off one of these, would that prevent an error message coming up?

Re: Too many usernames for one email address

Thank you for asking about the error messages:

 

Error Message 1: When I select Support Network, if I use user name johnbrennanlive, it then directs me to the " Hi, it will just take a few minutes to set you up etc. then continuing with the johnbrennanlive password etc I get another error message " Please correct highlighted errors.... log in details used by another account"

 

I then clear the deck and start over, this time I use johnbrennanlive1948 and get connected to Support Network [So that I can send this message], but it shows up as my user name johnbrennanlive.

 

Is there any way to move transfer from the normal skpe page with your contacts to Support Network while staying logged on?

 

Kind regards

Re: Too many usernames for one email address

I just wish that I did not set up that second user name johnbrennanlive1948.

 

To date I have deleted all my contacts off the johnbrennanlive1948 username account, deleted almost all profile settings, but cannot delete my registered email.

 

I would like to use johnbrennanlive, and use the login details of johnbrennanlive to acess my account and the support page.

 

Have you any idea of how I can do this?

 

Right now I cannot log on to the Support Page with username johnbrennanlive.

 

 

Kind Regards

johnbrennanlive

Re: Too many usernames for one email address

Forgotten your Username?

 

When I insert my email address and send it off to SKYPE, I receive an email stating that my username is johnbrennanlive1948.

 

Bizzare, isn't it.

Re: Too many usernames for one email address

I can sign into my account using either user names.

 

I can only sign into Support Network using the 1948 user name.

 

The strange thing is that when I log in to Support Network using the 1948 user name, it does NOT display as that,

but displays as my other user name of johnbrennanlive.

 

I just wish I had ONE (1) user name that I could use to log on to both, the Support Network and my Account.

 

Is there anybody that can help me with this?

Re: Too many usernames for one email address

That's strange set of circumstances and I doubt anyone here on the user-to-user forum is going to have a fix for you.  You can try contacting Customer Service and keep your fingers crossed:
