I checked my email a bit earlier and there wasn't an email to get my password back to RC, but I just checked it, at 7:30Pm Central time and low and behold, it was there, with a link to reestabish things.
I did it and it worked. I'm posting this so others know that its coming and like they said it will take time to get to everyone. As an FYI, in case they are doing in alphabetically, my email starts with an M, if that might be of help to anyone.
The procedure is to click on the link they provide and fill out a simple form, where you can put in your nickname and password. so you will need to re-establish your nickname along with your password.
What we don't know, is if you can change your nickname. Many of us remember the problems with multi-nics and bashers, so hopefully, the new VW will get this right and we won't digress. I suspect most will be able to get their old nics back, as you can only do this right now, if you first get the email to re-establish things, so I would doubt that others will "steal" someone else's nic at this point.
What they didn't show is the option for the MR or MRS in the nic, so it looks like this form is a new one. Again, hope they can re-establish all the things that use to be or had evovled over the last several years based on their user feedback. They need to talk to us about how it use to be, because it does't look like many if any of them know that stuff, but rather are bringing things back based on what they can see of pages and layouts and not the ins and outs or details behind the scenes. Time will tell.
